Easter Brunch at The Blanchard

The Blanchard, located in Lincoln Park, will welcome Easter celebrants with a special brunch menu on Sunday, April 16. Executive Chef Ryan Burns and Chef De Cuisine Tim Cook have crafted a menu with sweet and savory French brasserie-inspired favorites, from Outhier (creamy scrambled egg, chive, vodka spiked creme fraiche, royal ossetra caviar) and Baies Moulees (warm farmed berries, toasted oats, grains and seeds, milk curd, honey comb) to Croque Madame (smoked Nueske’s ham, fromage gruyere, fried egg, sauce morney brulee) and Steak Maitre d'Hotel (8-oz. prime hanger steak, fine herb butter, crispy frites, sauce dijonnaise).
