A La Carte opens in Ridgefield, offers take-away prepared meals and foods

A La Carte Opens in Ridgefield!   

Enabling Easy and Delicious Home Dining 

Frank Bonnaudet, Chef and Owner of the Restaurant Sucre Sale, and his wife Virginie have now opened A La Carte, a new business concept, dedicated to take-away prepared meals and foods.  

 It’s the “news” part of your heart- and stomach-warming story!

Nested in the Marketplace shopping center in Ridgefield, next to the Restaurant Sucre Sale, “A La Carte” offers a variety of prepared and prepacked dishes, cooked daily with fresh ingredients and authentic recipes.  

“This year Frank saw an increasing demand for quality prepared food, to enable at-home dining in this new world of eating out. “Even some of his regular customers opted for ordering out.  There was a void to be filled out and opening a place solely catering to that demand was the logical answer,” Virginie explains.

Frank needed a partner to spearhead the new project. Virginie jumped at the opportunity.  It seemed like a natural fit for Virginie, who had a longtime sales and marketing career in NYC. “I had been thinking of a change of career for a while. I am an artist and an epicure so dwelling with culinary art was the right move for me. The timing was perfect," she says.

“A La Carte” offers something uniquely valuable for food lovers amid the intense changes in the restaurant industry. "Our business model includes a showcase store and online ordering for pick-up and delivery. Our meals are either packed in an individual tray that goes in the microwave or oven or they are frozen, such as the boeuf bourguignon. We are also offering a family box (needed to be ordered in advance), for four to six people," says Virginie. The family box is deliciously complete with soup, salad, main course and dessert. And, variety if the spice of life! The content of the box changes every week.

"Once we are settled in, we hope to launch a monthly food subscription service and other services as well such as DIY," says Virginie.

 Easy, convenient, and delicious food for home dining.  That’s A La Carte.

A La Carte is for people wanting to provide an easy home-cooked dinner, to grab something on the go, and even those who just want to stock their fridge.   Pre-made dishes include, Chicken Marsala, Veggies Crepes, Grilled Salmon, Coq Au Vin, Boeuf Bourguignon and more.  There are also a range of salads, sandwiches, soups and other cold items, as well as the excellent deserts Frank formerly served in Martine bakery. The shop also includes fine pantry items such as Truffle oils, Harissa, Arogya teas, teapots, French Coffee Maker, Italian Coffee, Homemade seasonings, Gourmet Popcorn and more.
