Experience the charm of a Parisian bistro right at your Shabbat table with this delightful menu inspired by classic French cuisine.

It is the first Shabbat after Passover—and we are so ready to bring back the chametz! After a week of matzo meals, potato everything, and grain-free baking experiments, there's nothing quite like a French-inspired, carb-loving, flavor-packed menu to celebrate the return of real bread and full-on comfort food. Set the table bistro-style and get ready for a Shabbat filled with rich sauces, warm noodles, and a decadent dessert that says, bonjour chametz, we missed you.

This is also the week we make the Shlissel or Key, Challah, check out this guide to learn more.
