Zinc Wine Bar and Bistro, 246 South 11th Street, Philadelphia’s most authentic French bistro, has just opened a welcoming outdoor café with genuine wine barrels used as tables. The restaurant has also simultaneously unveiled its new spring menu.
Chef-proprietor Olivier Desaintmartin, who was recently inducted into the Maitres Cuisiniers de France, which consists of the 300 top French chefs in the world, has crafted this special spring menu to incorporate all of the season’s freshest ingredients, with many traditional French dishes not often found in the City of Brotherly Love.
First course menu items include baby octopus with garlic, Pernod, and tomato; crispy boneless pig’s trotters with sauce Gribiche; escargots with mushrooms and almonds served in puff pastry; and goat cheese in brick dough, baked and served with a petite frisée salad.
Entrée selections, available in two sizes, “not so small” and “full” portions highlight pan-seared sake with potato purée and vegetables meunière; calf’s liver with potato-leek cake and jerez vinegar sauce; steelhead trout with tombee of cabbage and bacon and chive butter; and rabbit stew with vegetables over pappardelle with sauce Dijonaise.
Zinc serves dinner from 4:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m., Tuesday – Saturday, and is open for brunch and dinner on Sunday from 11:30 a.m. – 11:00 p.m.
