This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated.
With Valentine’s Day just five weeks away, we thought we would celebrate one of the Main Line’s most romantic dining spots—Ardmore’s A la Maison Bistro. One very lucky AML fan will win a $100 gift certificate to the bistro by commenting below between now and noon Thursday, January 12th, 2012.
A fabulously popular BYO located in the heart of the Main Line, A la Maison Bistro is known for their classic French comfort food in a relaxed setting accented by old world country French flair and great service. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner Monday through Sunday—with brunch being served Saturday and Sunday. For dinner on Sunday, A la Maison features a chef’s tasting prix-fixe which changes weekly.
Thanks to the talents of Executive Chef Sean McMonagle, you can introduce your family to traditional French home cooking including: steak frites, boeuf bourguignon, coq au vin and a variety of scrumptious desserts.
How to enter
Leave us a comment below by noon Thursday, January 12th 2012. One winner will be drawn randomly after the close of the giveaway with the help of random.org!
