La Bécasse celebrates it’s 40th year in 2020, making it a veritable institution. Our French country menu does not stray far from the classics you would expect: escargot with bueurre de Bourgogne, rillettes, paté, onion soup, cassoulet, beef burgundy, duck confit. Tarte tatin and profiteroles to finish. Cheese. Simple food prepared very well, using timeless techniques and the best ingredients. 

Northern Michigan boasts agricultural diversity and abundance, and the area attracts artisans of all stripes. Chef takes advantage of this in his cooking, incorporating locally grown produce, locally raised beef and pork, and local wine, beer and spirits in the kitchen and at the bar. 

We are about a 30 minute drive from Traverse City, located on the southeast side of Glen Lake, and about a 12 minute drive from Glen Arbor.  We hope you’ll visit soon.

Chef’s secret ingredient? Love and passion. So French.
