Last week Carpe Vino kicked off our new “Tuesday Prix-Fixe” which was received with overwhelming fanfare! As seen in the below image, you can construct your custom three-course prix-fixe menu by selecting one starter, entrée and dessert which are designated by an asterisk (*). For $38/person++(beverages/tax/gratuity not included) this is absolutely one of the best deals in town. The “Tuesday Prix-Fixe” options will change as Chefs Tim Dube and Olivia Poulos introduce or modify menu items. This is an extraordinary value for a mid-week alternative from cooking at home…as we cordially invite you into ours!
Tuesday Prix-Fixe” is available both in the bar and restaurant starting at 5pm. All menu items listed with or without an asterisk are available ala carte. Substitutions and or splitting is politely declined.
hanger steak | frites, béarnaise sauce
mid-week special (tuesday – thursday)
(10 orders available)
CARNIVORES REJOICE – this is perfection on a plate and a delicious CV “Mid-Week Special.” Hanger steak, is also known as “Butcher’s Steak,” a cut of beef steak (from the plate) prized for its flavor. Butchers would often keep it for themselves rather than offer it for sale as the general populace believed this to be a crude cut of meat, although it’s actually one of the most tender.
Chef Tim Dube has expertly seasoned and sous-vide (vacuum-sealed bag of food, cooked to a very precise temperature in a water bath) each Hanger steak at 55* Celsius for 2.5 hours. The result is a perfectly cooked (medium rare) Hanger steak, finished with sea salt, a side of golden-brown shoe-string fries and housemade Béarnaise sauce (clarified butter emulsified in egg yolks, white wine vinegar and herbs).
