The French Fold is an Austin-based culinary experience that blends food, language, and culture. We offer hands-on French cooking workshops in French or English, private culinary events, and personalized one-on-one cooking sessions.

Our signature experience is crêpe-making, but our menus rotate with the seasons. You’ll also find French dessert classes, apéritif nights, and seasonal workshops that celebrate the best of French flavors and traditions.

Some sessions are conducted entirely in French for intermediate and advanced speakers, while others are taught in English, sprinkled with casual French expressions and cultural insights.

Whether you’re planning a hands-on date night, organizing a private cooking event, or looking for a personalized in-home session, The French Fold brings the flavors—and the spirit—of France to Austin.
