Today, July 11, 2012 is the official opening day of the Second Annual Fleur Delicious Weekend in Eureka Springs, AR. The five-day citywide event has a French theme and celebrates all things to delight the senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. During Fleur Delicious, the charming Victorian mountain village of Eureka Springs takes on a fun street fair atmosphere. The town’s shops, spas, restaurants, galleries, bars and venues join in the fun with special offers and a wide variety of events.

Fleur Delicious offers you the opportunity to taste French wines, spirits and foods at Eureka Springs bars and restaurants, see the fine arts and crafts in local galleries and get a relaxing massage enhanced with French lavender. There’s so much to do all weekend. It’s a sensory overload!

Come to 5 Ojo and indulge in a breakfast of Chocolate French Toast with Raspberry Sauce. We’ll also be offering our special variation of French Croque-monsieur. This isn’t your ordinary “ham ‘n’ cheese.” Instead, it’s a delightfully rich ham, crunchy toast, luscious cheese and Mornay sauce-smothered sandwich you’ll never forget. From all of us at 5 Ojo, “Viva le Fleur Delicious!”
