 The Regional Tables of France Network.
Specialty Fortnights are organized.
|
In the year 2000, the network greeted a new mascot : le " Petit Gourmet " (the Young Gourmet) so that children may also discover typical regional dishes.
|
A mascot supported by a charter.
|
Our " young child is well-seated and looks so joyful " is the new symbol of the restaurateurs belonging to the network.
Through their signature on the charter, they are committed to offer , all year -round, a product highlighting regional cuisine on children's menus..
Children will benefit, from a special service and a specific menu with a simple explanation for each proposed dish, which they will taste during a special presentation. Also, they will be served rapidly and before adult patrons.
Restaurants participating in this innovative program are easily spotted thanks to a pictogram affixed next to their name on the " restaurant list " of the 5 regions belonging to the " Regional Tables of France " network.
