Paris is world renowned as one of the world’s capitals of gastronomy. For centuries, people have traveled from near and far to sample the delights of Parisian cuisine. Vermonters are now lucky enough to have a restaurant right in the heart of Burlington where they can enjoy fine French food.
Pistou Restaurant offers Vermonters dining with French flair. The owners change their menus daily in order to best make use of what is locally available. The combination of French technique and fresh Vermont produce, meat and dairy products creates a truly delicious result.
Diners may choose from an a la carte menu with varied choices or sample the guided tasting menu where dishes are picked for them by Pistou’s chefs. A typical meal might begin with leeks in a delicate vinaigrette and garlic breadcrumbs or fire roasted beets with ricotta. After that, diners may choose to order steak tartare with fingerling potatoes or pork with polenta and mustard greens. Pistou also offers a selection of house made desserts and wine pairings.
Pistou also offers diners other dining options as well. The bar and lounge menu offers additional dishes to diners seated at the bar area or the high top table. Diners can expect such Parisian specialties as grilled octopus, a selection of cured meats and the opportunity to sample French cheeses. All food is offered with appropriate wines to help bring out the flavor even further.
The restaurant is also host to a very special Wednesday menu. Every single Wednesday, the owner seeks to bring Vermonters the chance to taste some of the new flavors of France and the French countryside. The Paris Sessions menu consists of a six course tasting menu arranged around the owner’s knowledge of French food. A recent menu began with peekytoe crab with sunchokes. The menu included coal roasted beets with marrow, scallops with celery root, squash gnocchi with radicchio, strip steak with eggplant and sugar roasted parsnip with hazelnut crumble.
Wine lovers can also flock to Pistou to find a carefully vetted wine list with an emphasis on French flavors and local growers. The owners provide guests with a selection of wines from many different regions of France including Corsica, Burgundy, the Loire Valley and the Rhone region.
Come visit Pistou. You’ll find a charming and elegant yet intimate taste of Paris right in the center of one of Vermont’s most exciting cities.
