Ok, "last minute" might be a little strong, given the fact Bastille Day isn't until Sunday. But believe it or not, some restaurants have already kicked off their celebrations in earnest. Here are a few restaurants to visit for those who wish to get their French fix this week.
This weekend, Trummer's will mark both Bastille Day and the restaurant's four year anniversary with a special menu. $42 buys three courses while $65 gets a full tasting. Dishes include hanger steak au poive, bleu cheese souffle and escargots.

With a name like Bastille, clearly the Alexandria restaurant will have a celebration. The restaurant will offer a $39 prix fixe menu all day on Sunday. They're also scheduled to head to the James Beard House July 15 with a special Bastille Day dinner (more info here).
