Bastille Day (July 14) may have come and gone, but you can still spend an evening celebrating all things French this week, as the new Tony-award-winning musical “An American in Paris”  is at the Des Moines Civic Center through July 23.

To prime yourself, head to Baru 66, where Chef David Baruthio will serve a three-course “An American in Paris” menu to celebrate the local run of this show. The meal costs $39 and is available through Saturday night (whether you do or don’t go to the show).

The special dinner will kick off with a complimentary cocktail. First-course choices include a tartar of tuna and crab, a melon-port combo or a warm goat cheese salad. For the second course, choose from a fish of the day, duck breast with cherry-port reduction or risotto with pan-seared scallops. When it comes time for dessert, diners will have a hard time choosing between the blueberry-lavender clafoutis, a rum baba or a cheese plate.

If you really want to go all French, try Baru 66’s new patio—and bring your furry four-legged friend (yes, in true-to-France fashion, the patio is dog-friendly). The mix of soft seating and intimate cafe tables makes it all quintessentially French.

Baru 66 is at 6587 University Ave., Windsor Heights; 515-277-6627; baru66.com.
