Vauvert also introduced their light and delicious Fricots menu from 5:00pm to 11:00pm daily except for Thursday through Saturday where the kitchen remains open until 1:00am. This dynamic menu is for the post-9-to-5 young professional crowd that enjoys an after-work Mojito or Vauvert—vodka, cherry brandy, pomegranate juice and soda for $9. Try the $3 oyster garnish of your choice and the $9 shrimp tempura served with orange caramel, plus pan-fried fennel and capers.

For starters on the supper menu served daily from 6:00pm to 11:00pm, try the modernized mozzarella/tomato that is braised herbed tomatoes, roasted peppers and pesto crumble for $8. And for the main dishes, the contagious grilled Black Angus filet mignon including potato fricassee with aged cheddar, caramelized onions, parsley, bacon, baby spinach and Vauvert pepper sauce for $34.

The dinner menu does range from $19-$42 in price and features exquisite takes on risotto, salmon, roasted guinea fowl, linguini and ostrich—yes, you read right—served on a apple/celeriac/lemon hazelnut crumble and a red wine glaze with fried parsnip and baby Swiss chard for $28. Clearly the menu is far away from anything you can expect in the city. Selling your soul in exchange for dinner may never have looked so appealing.

Aside from the superior $8 martini menu, the brew crew includes imports such as Kronenbourg 1664 and the Japanese Sapporo for $6, as well as locals like Maudite for $5.50, which fits the theme magically as the label’s logo takes after Vauvert’s legendary story La Chasse-galerie.
