Austin’s Artisan Bistro Presents Bastille Day Celebration Experience French Food, Music, and Culture in the Heart of Lakeway
Mention Independence Day to a typical Texan, and he’ll imagine fireworks, beers, and barbecue—but not Cesidio d’Andrea. To this transplanted French chef, now an Austinite, Independence Day means Bastille Day: traditional French food, music, and celebrations. That’s why he’s decided to throw a special Bastille Day party at his Lakeway restaurant, Artisan Bistro: to show the people of Austin a different kind of Independence Day.
Artisan, a French bistro, wine bar and bakery located at 900 Ranch Road 620S in Lakeway, will present a Bastille Day extravaganza on Wednesday, July 14, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The Celebration will include live music, dancing, games (such as pétanque, a bocce-like lawn bowling game), food, wine, and setups from local vendors. Chef d’Andrea will present French cooking demos, and Artisan wine buyer Mike Bryan will hold a France vs. Texas wine tasting. The Bastille Day Celebration is open to Francophiles of all ages.
“People in France come together for Bastille Day in much the same way we do here for the Fourth of July—there are parades, parties, and festivals, and people eat, drink, and celebrate,” d’Andrea says. “We want to share that spirit with the people of Austin.”

ABOUT ARTISAN BISTRO: Artisan is a French bistro, bakery and wine bar. We serve lunch and dinner Wednesday through Saturday and brunch on Sundays. (We are closed on Mondays, and Tuesday evenings are reserved for private parties or special events such as cooking classes and wine tastings.) Chef d’Andrea works alone in the kitchen, handling all prep, cooking, and much of the cleaning himself. Everything at Artisan is made from scratch using traditional French techniques and cooking methods, and every food item sold here is handled exclusively by the chef from start to finish. Become our fan on Facebook or follow us on Twitter at @ArtisanBistro!
ABOUT CHEF CESIDIO D’ANDREA: Chef Cesidio d’Andrea’s passion for cooking began at a very early age in his family kitchen, and there was no doubt in anyone’s mind he would pursue it professionally. Shortly after his culinary studies and his nomination as a finalist of the highly regarded “Meilleur Apprentis de France” contest, Cesidio began his career in some of Paris’ most prestigious establishments, such as Fauchon and Chez Edgar. He then went on to become executive chef of the Lancaster and San Régis Hotels, both classified as Small Luxury Hotels of the World™. For the past decade, he has been in business for himself, first with his restaurant, La Place, and then with a catering business with two successful locations in Normandy, where he also created a small cooking school at the Chateau de Miromesnil (www.chateaumiromesnil.com). D’Andrea has received numerous accolades and has been regularly featured on French television and in magazines such as Elle, Saveur, and Côté Ouest. Today, he is proud to be serving Austin as the chef of Artisan Bistro, and he enjoys working with the fine local products at his disposal.
ABOUT MIKE BRYAN: Mike Bryan has been working in restaurants for over 12 years, but has found his passion and calling in alcoholic beverages, specifically wine. He has served as the wine buyer for the Mansion at Judges' Hill Restaurant, Cork and Company, Wildwood Wine and Spirits, Fion Wine Pub and Bistro, and now, Artisan. He loves pairing wines and foods, and has consulted on wine lists throughout Austin and hosted wine dinners at several restaurants in Austin over the years. Having completed the Introductory Sommelier Course through the Court of Master Sommeliers, he will continue to study and plans to complete the Certified Sommelier course sometime in the next year. One day, Mike hopes to study viticulture and become a winemaker.
