WESTCHESTER, N.Y. (January 18, 2012) – Fig & Olive, one of New York’s premier restaurants, announced its Westchester location will offer the same prix fixe menu as its three New York City restaurants during a winter celebration of fine dining. Running from January 16 to February 10, this special culinary experience presents world-class dining at a discounted price.

Fig & Olive patrons are invited to feast on a variety of esteemed dishes influenced by the Riviera and Costal regions of France, Italy and Spain. The three-course prix fixe menu is priced at $24.07 for lunch and $35 for dinner, weekdays only. Fig & Olive is located in the Vernon Hills Shopping Center, 696 White Plains Road, Scarsdale, N.Y. Reservations required at 914-725-2900 or www.figandolive.com.

“We are so excited to bring this special menu to our Westchester location, and we look forward to serving new and loyal customers alike,” said Ludo Barras, Fig & Olive marketing director. “The menu includes many of our signature dishes – and of course a few surprises!”

The flavorful experience begins with an assortment of plates perfect for sharing. A Crostini Tasting includes a chef’s selection of up to six varieties, including mushroom, truffle, artichoke and parmesan; gorgonzola, onion and cremini; or prosciutto, ricotta, fig, olive and walnuts. Starters also feature Provencal Carrot and Thyme Soup, Beef Carpaccio and Yellow Fin Tuna Carpaccio.

For lunch, treat yourself to succulent dishes such as a Grilled Thyme Chicken Paillard; Salmon a la Andalucia; or a new menu addition, the Fig & Olive Painted Hill’s Farm Burger, which highlights the best grass-fed beef, crisp pancetta and pickled onions on a thyme brioche roll.

For a more indulgent dinner entrée, choose from the Fig & Olive Tajne, a free-range chicken marinated with Moroccan spices; Rosemary Lamb Chops; Penne Funghi Tartufo in a white truffle olive oil; or Provence Chicken Paillard. All prepared with the freshest ingredients and tastiest olive oils, these dishes will instantly transport your palate abroad.

And don’t forget to add some the wine! Fig & Olive’s wine list includes over 30 selections from across France, Italy and Spain that are offered by the glass or bottle along with a selection of champagne. (Alcohol not included in fixed price.)

End this delightful culinary experience on a sweet note by sampling the desserts: a Chocolate Pot De Crème, which has crunchy praline financiers and vanilla cream; or the Dessert “Crostini,” which has amarena cherry, mascarpone and pistachio shortbread with micro-basil.
