Fig + Olive Celebrates Bastille Day

Just around the corner on Melrose Place, Fig + Olive is a little piece of Provence right in the heart of West Hollywood; so naturally they're feting la journée de la Bastille in true French Riviera style with a special tasting of wines from Provence, live music, and a special prix-fixe menu created by Executive Chef Pascal Lorange. The complimentary wine and cheese tasting is being presented by Vins de Provence at the restaurant's communal table, and will feature six to seven specialty wines including some fabulous rosés. The two-course prix-fixe for $50 will include dishes like a fig and gorgonzola tartlet with prosciutto, walnuts, tomato and arugula; striped bass papillote with zucchini, eggplant, fennel, tomato, thyme and saffron and chive mashed potatoes, and more. Come anytime from 4:30-7:30 p.m. for the wine-tasting (though there will be ongoing tastings featuring rosés every Thursday through August during the restaurant's "Aperitivo" from 5-7 p.m.), and dinner from 5:30-10:30 p.m.
