Cinq à sept


Cinq à sept (literally, "five to seven"; French pronunciation [sɛ̃kasɛt]; English pronunciation /sɛŋkæˈsɛt/ sengk-a-SET) is a Quebec French term for a social gathering that takes place after work and prior to the dinner hours (roughly between 5 and 7 p.m.). It may bring together friends or colleagues or may be organized around a specific event, such as a book launch or vernissage. Wine, beer, and cocktails are served along with finger foods and other hors d'oeuvres. Such a party held later may be named for the specific time (e.g. six à huit).
