Elegant Restaurant Andre's Joins Restaurant Week Which Benefits Three Square

For the ninth consecutive year, Andre’s Restaurant & Lounge at Monte Carlo will participate in Las Vegas Restaurant Week Aug. 22 to Aug. 28 by offering a multi-course, prix-fixe menu to benefit Three Square Food Bank. A portion of each meal sold during Restaurant Week will be donated to Three Square to help in its fight to end hunger in Southern Nevada.

“We remain dedicated to this worthy cause. Our team looks forward to pushing ourselves to create a better menu every year. This month’s menu, in our opinion, is our best to date,” says André Rochat, executive chef, Andre’s.

This year’s menu consists of three courses beginning with the Waldorf Salad (butter lettuce, granny smith apples and celery root, topped with walnut crème fraîche) or Warm Artichoke Soup with smoked duck croquettes.

For guests wishing to add a second course, there will be an additional $15 charge for Pan Seared Duck Foie Gras with a verjus reduction, dried fruit and almond custard tart.

The entrée selection will be the Braised Beef Short Ribs (butternut squash purée, shaved brussels sprouts with spiced cipollini onion jus) or Red Wine Glazed Arctic Char (creamed leek fondue and heirloom fingerling potato chips) or Vegan Crispy Eggplant and Heirloom Quinoa Cakes (sautéed kale and roasted red pepper purée).

The delectable meal concludes with Almond Amaretto and Red Raspberry Pavlova with chilled apricot soup created by Pastry Chef Tammy Alana.

The price per person is $50.14 (tax and gratuity not included).  For more information or to make reservations, please call (702) 798-7151.
