Celebration Sundays in May

at Central Michel Richard

(Washington, DC- April 17, 2012) The month of May marks many occasions to celebrate: from the graduate taking their first steps into the “real world” to all of the moms who make even the largest leaps of faith seem possible. Central opens for three special Sundays in May to pamper the palates and warm the spirits of those we love.

Central will open on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 13^th for both Brunch and Dinner service. Mother’s Day Brunch will be served from 12-2:30pm. A special Brunch menu designed by Michel Richard and Executive Chef Jason Maddens will be served in addition to the Central regular lunch menu. Brunch specials will include smoked salmon, Michel’s Eggs Benedict, Brioche French Toast, and a Bacon and Leek Quiche. Sunday Dinner will be available from 5-9pm. Let Central help you salute the ladies who bring the “joie de vivre” into your lives each day.

Central will also open its doors for dinner from 5-9pm on Sunday May 6^th and Sunday May 20^th to honor the accomplishments of our area graduates. Mark this milestone with a dinner that includes Chef Richard's whimsical contemporary fare along with vintages by the glass or bottle. Toast this time together with your families!

For graduation parties larger than eight, please contact our Director of Private Dining, Gina Parisi, who will assist you with planning your special day. Call 202 625-2150 or email pdr@centralmichelrichard.com for assistance.
