 The Bistro
 Fancy a bit of French cuisine or just looking for something sweet to eat? Either way, we've got you covered! In this new addition to the charms classroom, Professor Marchand offers you a taste of his homeland... with a modern flair.
A wrought iron chandelier hangs from the ceiling of a small room lined with tables and chairs enough to seat about fifteen people. On one of the walls hangs a patchwork quilt made by Professor Marchand's students during the 2093-94 school term. All dishes are charmed to be self-cleaning, and two trash bins sit on either side of the door. Please remember to pick up after yourselves!
The Menu
- Eclairs
- Macarons (meringue-based cookies)
- French apple pie
- Cherry clafouti (baked custard with cherries)

- Hot cocoa
- Butterbeer
- French soda (flavors: cherry, strawberry, lemon, orange, raspberry, chocolate, vanilla)
Enjoy these treats ready-made or try your hand at making them yourself! At the back of the room is a small kitchen where students can learn to prepare some of the items on the menu using only a few simple spells or create a dish all their own. There is a long counter, a sink, and a refrigerator and cabinets stocked with ingredients for you to use. On the wall is a sign with a few helpful kitchen charms to remember:
So why not grab a recipe card and get started? In light of Headmaster Scrimgeour's rules regarding food outside the kitchen or great hall, the bistro is now closed to students. The glass cases that once housed delicious fresh French pastries are empty, and the coffee maker and soda fountain lie still and silent. The chairs are stacked neatly on top of the tables and the dishes locked away in the cabinets. Outside the door hangs a sign that says CLOSED, but just in case the sign isn't enough to deter trespassers, the room is equipped with a series of complicated locking charms invented by Professor Marchand (no, alohomora won't work!), as well as several other security charms. Best not touch the door,
lest you set off an alarm! |
