A day of French Cuisine & Contemporary Art!

F
airfield County "It!"
 recently had a delightful French inspired Brunch at Bernard's, followed by the opening reception at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum:  

​Painting in Four Takes.   
Bernard's offers a delicious three course Sunday Brunch:  
Appetizer, Entree and Dessert for $39.      
Here is the Scallops Rosace, Asparagus, Hearts of Palm & Citrus Lemon Dressing.  

Stunning to look at and tastefully composed.

​We were thrilled to dine in the adorable Monkey Room, just for our group!

As you can see in the photo, we were not short on conversation. Everyone was having a great time, just like the pictured Monkeys!
My entree was the Braised Veal Breast, Creamy Polenta, Broccoli Rabe, Carrots with Truffle Sauce.  

An earthy Fall medley of organic veal, polenta and vegetables.  

​Bernard's prides itself on only using the freshest locally sourced ingredients for its fine dining menu.

Much to our delight, Chef Bernard joined us and discussed his passion for French cuisine which began during his childhood while growing up in    France.  

Later he came to New York City and worked under Daniel Buloud at Le Cirque, where he met his charming, culinary soulmate and wife Sarah.  

  
Bernard's has received numerous awards:  
  • A Zagat ranking of 27-26-27
         Extraordinary to Perfection
  • CT Magazine - Best French, Best       Wine, Best Brunch, Best Bistro
  • Best Chefs America
  • Best of the Gold Coast

   They are clearly great at being BEST.

After our fabulous brunch, we headed around the block to the Aldrich Contemporaty Art Museum.  

The museum was packed with art lovers of all ages eager to see the new exhibit:

Both floors of the museum were devoted to the art of four painters:
 
​Ruth Root -
Old, Odd and Oval


​Steve DiBenedetto -
Evidence of Everything


Hayal Pozanti -
 
Deep Learning


Julia Rommel - 
Two Italians, Six Lifeguards​


We had the chance to talk to  artist Hayal Pozanti who said she created the specific works of art displayed at the Aldrich with that particular room in mind.  She is a fascinating young woman.  Pictured here is painting "18" juxtaposed over "Sixty Seven".

Another Fabulous Day in Fairfield County!

Thank you Bernard's!   Thank you Aldrich Museum!
