IMPROV DINNERS

The new way to entertain: gather your favorite ingredients, invite 10 to 14 people for dinner, Christophe will come over to your kitchen and improvise a menu using your ingredients.

Timing: Christophe will arrive at 9 am the in your kitchen to see and assess the ingredients. He will then create a menu for your dinner. A couple of additional staffers will arrive in the afternoon to help prep, serve, and clean up.

Cost: $ 850

Includes: 3 course dinner, knife sharpening, service, and clean up.

Our improv dinner was fabulous! We supplied our favorite produce, grains and meat. Christophe made our home smell amazing all day and we were eager to eat dinner that evening. I was curious how he was going to use the grains that he chose from our pantry. They seemed like an unlikely pairing but his creativity and expertise proved me wrong. I savored every course of our meal.  Not only was the meal delicious, clean up was simple. We didn’t have to do anything! Dishes, pans, utensils were all cleaned and put away.  It was wonderful to eat a gourmet meal made at home and to share with our friends.

What's the Pozé Catering experience like?

Here's what some of our Vermont clients have to say:

I have had the good fortune of experiencing Christophe's culinary talents in a variety of settings and over a period of many years. Whether dining with friends at Christophe's, his namesake standard setting restaurant in Vergennes, Vermont; attending a dinner and a reception for 50 given by the President of the University of Vermont; or participating in the "Citizen of the Year" celebration for 200 given by the Vermont State Chamber of Commerce in honor of my husband, Stephen; each meal and each event created by Christophe was outstanding and each experience was memorable.  I so look forward to the next chapter...

Terry Faith, Middlebury, VT

We loved the dining experience at Christophe’s, from the beautiful table settings and the exquisite service to the innovative food and an amazing wine list. Christophe’s creative cuisine is a feast for all the senses. The oysters with a leak sabayon gratin are among the best things we ever tasted and the asparagus soufflé ranks among the most beautiful things we ever ate. We always thought Christophe’s added to the quality of our lives and we often used the dining experience at Christophe’s as a standard by which we measured other restaurants here in the US and in Europe. Needless to say, they usually came up short. We suspect that, had Christophe’s ever been reviewed by the Michelin restaurant guide, it would have gotten three stars, the highest ranking.

Ilaria and Peter Brancoli, Middlebury, VT

We loved Christophe's in Vergennes. It was an authentic French restaurant, but with a joyously inventive (and always delicious) menu.

Tom Hyde, Burlington, VT

Whether it was that special occasion at his restaurant or casual dining with a few friends, Christophe has always created a memorable experience. We always enjoy Christophe’s selection of wines and deserts. We can hardly wait to enjoy/experience his cooking talents among our friends in our home.

David Krolick, Charlotte, VT

We have been blessed to have dined at many Michelin restaurants in the US, Europe and Asia. Eating a meal prepared by Christophe equals the experience of dining in Michelin restaurants in the South of France and San Sebastian Spain.  We have enjoyed many meals prepared by Christophe and his team, first when he served at his eponymous restaurant in Vergennes (which remains our favorite Vermont restaurant) and more recently at a series of catered events in which he was able to translate his art of fine dining to serving large events.  We look forward to Christophe and his team catering our next event.

Christophe Lissarrague is one of the very few classically-trained french chefs in Chittenden county. You know that someone who keeps his own ducks so that he can ensure his duck confit is processed correctly is serious about food. He has brought that seriousness to his eponymous restaurant in Vergennes and latterly to his stint as Special Event Chef at the University of Vermont. And that is what you will get from Christophe in his new catering business, a special event. We have been enjoying his food for the last 12 years and will continue to do so at out own special events. We recommend his services to you without reservation .  Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!
