Show 128, June 27, 2015: Chef Laurent Brazier, Bistro Papillote, SOCO

Laurent BrazierThe newly launched Bistro Papillote at The OC Mix at SOCO is the first authentic French restaurant concept from Chef Laurent Brazier, Executive Chef Instructor of La Cuisine Culinary Arts located inside Macy’s Home Store in South Coast Plaza. On the menu is simple French Bistro cuisine.

Bistro Papillote provides full service breakfast and lunch, including Chef Laurent’s interpretation of quiches, crepes, Croque-Monsieur, and grab-and-go sandwiches and salads. There is even a formidable New Orleans-style Muffaletta Baguette (sandwich) with salami, mortadella, ham, swiss and tapenade. At the open-air crepe bar, guests are able to watch as delicious, fresh crepes are prepared right in front of them.

Bistro Papillote by La Cuisine is available for private events catered by Chef Laurent’s catering company, La Cuisine. The French wines served there are hand-selected by Chef Laurent who holds his Advanced Certificate of Wine & Spirit from the London WSET, as well as the Level One Sommelier from the Court of Master Sommeliers.

Somehow Chef Laurent also makes the time to teach a popular beginning wine appreciation class at LCA Wine at SOCO. He keeps it fun…

Chef Laurent is our guest.
