Savor a delicious French-Canadian style Easter brunch at this island staple before it’s gone. Chez L’Épicier will close its doors on April 27 as husband-and-wife team Laurent Godbout and Véronique Deneault prepare to travel across their country in a remodeled Airstream. The meal starts out with a handful of amuse bouche bites, such as herbed deviled eggs, whipped ricotta macarons, and a vegetable tartine, all of which beg to be paired with a glass of rosé. Appetizers include chilled pea soup with crab and mint oil, a blue cheese puff pastry giant ravioli, and salmon carpaccio. The main courses range from light to indulgent: confit fennel and mini zucchini over creamy polenta makes for a satisfying vegetarian option, and traditionalists will swoon over the rosemary-breaded rack of lamb. As always at Chez L’Épicier, desserts are a standout. Select from a lemon crème brûlée with madeleines, chocolate doughnuts, or a raspberry iced nougat with an extra-large French macaron, and take in every last bite of chef Goudbout’s cooking.
