Eric Fritch and his wife, Amy, first opened Patisserie Amie in 2004, with a mission to unite people through exceptional food and culture. Over the years, their bistro became a cornerstone of Traverse City’s restaurant scene.
Like many small businesses, Patisserie Amie faced significant challenges during the pandemic, leading to its closure due to shutdowns and staffing shortages. Undeterred, Eric and Amy pivoted to bring their love of French cuisine to a new format: a food truck named Le Métropolitain Cuisine de Rue serving classic French dishes.
Now, Eric and Amy are reviving the spirit of Patisserie Amie’s brunch service, partnering with Traverse City Whiskey Co. (TCWC) at 201 E. 14th Street. Le Métropolitain has found a new home at TCWC, offering brunch every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. TCWC will also be offering a selection of brunch cocktails. To celebrate, TCWC will host a Brunch Launch Party on February 1 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Reserve your brunch time: You can select a specific time slot to place your order. When you arrive at The Stillhouse at your reserved time, you’ll be able to order inside from a QR code.
