Prix fixe dinners $ 19
Question: What is a prix fixe dinner?

Definition according to Wikipedia:

A prix fixe menu is simply a collection of pre-determined items presented as a multi course meal at a set. For instance, one evening, a restaurant may offer a prix fixe menu of escargot for the first course, beef bourguignon for the second course, a cheese platter for the third course, and crème brûlée for the dessert course. Most Parisian restaurants will actually offer two or three prix fixe options to diners every night.

Answer from Chef Urs:

Although prix fixe (pronounced like “prefix”) menus are common in Europe, they’re still somewhat of a novelty to most Americans. Prix fixe dinners have a long tradition in many European countries, especially France, Italy, Spain, and Germany, and many American tourists enjoy them during their European vacations. The Main Street Eatery would now like to introduce to its friends and customers this great concept which allows you to dine leisurely, enjoy several courses, and end up being pleased paying the bill at the end of dinner because it was such a great deal. Our prix-fixe dinner consists of:

Appetizer
Choice of soup or hors d’oeuvre

House Salad

Entrée
of Chef’s choice

Dessert
two choices

Price: $19.00 plus tax and gratuity
(Add a glass of our house wine for $6.00)

One example from the week of February 9:

Choice of chicken quesadilla or soup du jour

House salad

Beef Bourgignonne with pasta and vegetables

Choice of organic peach tart or creme brulée

The prix fixe dinner changes frequently. Therefore, if you like to know the details, give us a call after 3:30 p.m. at 847-2526 and ask Chef Urs what his choices for tonight’s dinner will be.

Of course, our à la carte menu with your favorite entrées and appetizers will always be available as well.
Enjoy! Guten Appetit! Mahlzeit! Buon Appetito! Bon Appétit!
