Press Release: The Redwood by Chef Julien

September 23, 2022

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Avenidas Partners with New Cafe Operator & Re-Launches The Redwood by Chef Julien in October 

Open to the Public for Breakfast and Lunch M-F, 8am-3pm with Discounts for Avenidas Members

(September 23, 2022, Palo Alto, CA)–After Covid closed the doors to both Avenidas and the original Redwood Cafe in March 2020, Avenidas is now re-opening the restaurant with Chef Julien Cellier, a graduate of the Vatel Institute in Paris, France. Chef Julien has over 15 years of experience in the food industry, from catering, to cafes, to a Michelin distinguished restaurant and International hotels. With a menu of coffee and pastries in the morning to salads, soups and sandwiches in the afternoon, and a variety of take-home dinner entrees, people will find unique and delicious choices at the Redwood.

“Avenidas is delighted to have such a passionate foodie as Chef Julien making fresh, delicious and reasonably priced meals for older adults and the community. Everything is served with a French flair–from homemade crepes filled with fruit to Quiche Lorraine studded with bacon and cheese.”

Avenidas President and CEO Amy Yotopoulos

“Quality, innovation, creativity and guest satisfaction are my fundamental values,” states Chef Julien. “The art of hospitality and customer service are in my DNA, and my cuisine and cooking style have been inspired by many travels around the world, across the five continents and many different experiences,” he recalls.

Starting on October 3, the café will be open to the public Monday–Friday, 8am–3pm. Avenidas members will save 10% on all purchases. Currently, the community may already order prepared dinners from a list of Chef Julien’s Weekly Specials to pick up from Avenidas and take home and enjoy. Orders must be submitted by the Sunday before the start of a new week. Visit  www.avenidas.org/cafe for more info and to see the daily menu. To order any Weekly Specials, visit Chef Julien’s site at  https://chefjulienpaloalto.square.site/.
