Mother’s Day by Cafe Flora

MAY 1, 2020 | EDITOR

This year, Cafe Flora is adapting their annual Mother’s Day Prix Fixe: breakfast in bed! They are packing up a full Prix Fixe menu for curbside pick-up. All food will be fully prepared, easy to transport, and include reheating instructions so you can prepare a fresh brunch on Mother’s Day morning.

From rhubarb nettle panna cotta to asparagus feta quiche, they're featuring the flavors of spring on inspiring menus for both kids and adults. Cafe flora has partnered with some of their favorite makers, growers, and producers to offer special gifts for mom, like Fran’s Chocolates, bouquets from Alm Hill Gardens, specialty wines, and bags of Stumptown Coffee. They are also offering craft cocktail kits — because what’s brunch without a Bloody Mary or two?

Because of their new approach, they will have a limited supply. Reserve your meal before they sell out! Visit their Shop Page for a complete list of our offerings or scroll down for more detail.

Orders need to be in by Sunday, May 3rd. You can schedule pick-up on the Friday or Saturday before Mother's Day.

Chef in the Hat: Mother’s Day Gifts & Radio Show

APRIL 27, 2020 | THIERRY RAUTUREAU

Bonjour Gourmands, Friends, Supporters, and Customers,

We miss you a lot! It has been about 45 days since we closed both Luc and Loulay and we are slowly adapting to our new life. Social media is not replacing seeing you, talking with you live in person, however, it has also reminded us how much we value our friends, family, and all of you.

We want to be a part of your celebration, birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day, going away party, company party, and more.

Since Mother’s Day is coming soon! We know how important Mom is and we do not want to forget her. Kathy, of “Flowerworks,” our in-house very talented florist (and the mother of our two boys) has created a beautiful floral arrangement with a Spring tone (see the details below) that would make a nice gift. Since I have been homebound, I have been playing in the kitchen a bit more trying my hands at bread baking and more. I will bake some brown butter, orange madeleines to accompany the creative arrangement. There will be a very limited quantity available.

Shop for Mother’s Day Gifts Online

Free for All Images - luc-floral.jpg

For each arrangement, we will give back $5.00 to Food Lifeline which will generate 25 meals in a time where help, to fight hunger in America is, more needed than ever.

We are working slowly on figuring out what to do next with both our restaurants, we will inform you of our findings as soon as we know.

We hope you all stay healthy and strong. We miss you all, looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Thierry & Kathy Rautureau

The Harvest Vine Reopens with Take-Out Menu and Online Shop!

APRIL 13, 2020 | WEBSITE SUBMITTED

The coronavirus has upended daily life for all of us. Since we closed a month ago out of concern for the health and safety of our guests and crew, we've regrouped and looked back to our roots for inspiration on how to move forward together, safely, through the months ahead.

Our new take out menu is filled with comfort food that travels well. We've included staples like the beet salad and brought back take out favorites from our early days like the tuna empanada.  And Joey's cooking his fabulous paellas in three sizes. (It's great reheated the next day).

Free for All Images - HarvestVineWebsite-480.jpg

To keep everyone safe we've come up with a "no touch" ordering system. Just visit our website, select what you'd like from our Take-Out Menu, Marketplace, and Wine Shop, and pay from the comfort of your couch. We'll call you to confirm a pick-up time and when you arrive just call from your car and we'll run your order out to the copper tables under our awning. All orders must be placed before 10:00 a.m. on the day of pick up. We will update the website each day around noon to start taking orders for the following day.

Free for All Images - HarvestVine-480.jpg

We're so grateful for all of the messages of support we've gotten over this past month and a special thank you to all of you who've purchased gift cards. Those dollars really matter to this small business. We look forward to the day we can invite all of you back into our cozy dining rooms, but until then we'll get through this crisis together, one tapa at a time.

Visit Our Website to Place Your Orders

A Few Practical Details:

• All prices on our menu include applicable sales tax. If you'd like to show your appreciation, you may do so by clicking the heart on our "Gift Cards & Gratuities" page.

• Payment can be made with Visa, Mastercard or AMEX. We are not able to process gift cards for take-out orders.

The expiration date for The Promotional Gift Vouchers that were purchased in December will be extended once we are back in full operation.

• Limited direct porch delivery in the neighborhood is available by our staff for a $5.00 fee. To maintain the safest experience possible, we will not be contracting with any delivery APPS or allowing 3rd party pick-ups. This is for everyone's health and safety.

• Some menu items require reheating and meats in "meal kits" require cooking. See the order page for each item's at home instructions.

• Paella will be cooked to order and served in the traditional paella pan. A $15.00 refundable deposit is included in the price of each paella. Please return the paella pan with your name on it to the box outside our side door Wednesday - Saturday from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. to receive your refund.
