December 5 Wine Lunch Menu

We have a menu for the Dec 5th Wine Lunch at Brasserie Zentral (612-333-0505)! And there are still some seats left (but call soon so you get in!).

Here’s the menu:

First Course Poached Pear Salad Blue Cheese, Marconna Almonds, Pomegranate (The mix of flavors here is awesome and will require a multi-layered wine)

Second Course Rabbit & Smoked Fish Terrine Roasted Beets, Horseradish, Balsamic Onion Marmalade (I am REALLY happy to see this. A wine pairing challenge that should be extra fun!)

Third Course House Made Cavatelli with Braised Duck (Cavatelli translated means "little buns” and they look like little hot dog buns which should be perfect with the braised duck!)

Dessert Course Gerbeaud Cake with Walnut, Apricot, Caramel & Creme Fraiche
