The evenings
An evening is announced in three lines — the date, the place, the table, the share — and never before the quote is settled.
Nothing is flying.
When the colours are up, the announcement appears here, and it reads like this :
14 November
received by the Maison Dubois
six by six · ninety francs
the colours are up
An example. No hidden cost and no explanation : the place, the table and the share are announced together, in advance.
The register of sums
| what the share pays for | francs |
|---|---|
| A visit before opening, a tasting at our host’s | 50 |
| A dinner at our host’s, catered, the place given | 90 |
| A chef’s table, a place taken privately | 160 |
The share is calculated, not discussed. It is taken on confirmation, and the empty chair pays all the same — at six to a table, an absence is seen.
Reach is managed by the variety of evenings across the year, never by a discount. Each comes to what they can, and the sum says nothing about the one who pays it.
This page keeps nothing. A past evening does not appear here : it exists only for those who were there.
