After all of the craziness of the holidays, you might feel like curling up and hibernating until April. But resist the urge, because there’s still good eating to be done. From January 4 through 14, pay a visit to Pigalle (75 Charles Street South, Boston) for a Taste of Alsace. The nightly five-course dinner features chef Marc Orfaly’s Alsatian dishes paired with complementary wines. The cost is $125 and reservations are recommended; call 617.423.4944. And over at Orfaly’s other restaurant, Marco (253 Hanover Street, Boston), Tuesdays in January bring “My Trip to Umbria,” chef de cuisine Matt Abdoo’s four-course recreation of Italian and French dishes he cooked on a recent European bike trip. The cost is $75; call 617.742.1276.
