After a run of sold-out pop-ups in January, Steak Frites by Meritage will return on Wednesdays in March.
The downtown St. Paul restaurant, which is usually closed on Wednesdays, will serve the classic French dish steak frites along with moules frites (mussels and fries). And yes, that’s the whole menu — and the whole point. Chef Russell Klein said the idea is to serve just a few things and do them really well.
For $32, guests will receive a prix-fixe menu that includes the following: Warm bread and salted butter, a house salad, choice of steak or mussels and bottomless fries. Yes, you read that right, as many of the best fries in the Twin Cities as you can eat.
In addition, there will be seasonal vegetables and classic ice cream sundaes available to add to the meal a la carte. A limited menu of beer, wine and cocktails will be $11 apiece.
Klein has said the concept is likely coming as a standalone restaurant sometime soon.
If you want a reservation, you should definitely hurry. January’s pop-up booked swiftly, and there is already limited availability for March.
