The Mont is setting the stage for a night of pure culinary enchantment on Thursday, November 20 at 6:30 p.m., inviting guests to experience French wine and cuisine in a way that feels both intimate and transportive. For one evening, Fort Worth diners can slip into a world of refined flavors as Chef Michael Duff presents a five-course tasting menu, each dish paired with exceptional French wines selected and introduced by Dan Miller of Republic National Distributing Company.
This is not simply dinner—it’s an immersion. From the first pop of Champagne to the final sip of Sauternes, the evening celebrates the spirit, terroir, and timeless romance of French gastronomy. Every plate reflects a region, every pour tells a story, and every pairing is crafted to captivate the senses. With limited seating and tickets priced at $183 per guest, the experience promises an unforgettable night for those who appreciate culinary artistry.
The evening opens with a beautifully composed amuse-bouche: Pavé of Celeriac with crème fraîche, dill, and smoked caviar, paired with Telmont Brut Réserve from Champagne. It’s a bright, elegant beginning that sets the tone for the courses to come—delicate, precise, and deeply French.
