Vin Sur Vingt is a low-key wine bar in the Plaza Food Hall with Great wine selection and hit-or-miss food.
I was running errands in on the East side, and realized I needed to meet my partner for dinner. We opted for the Plaza hotel.
So many options!
I was undecided between Vin Sur Vingt and the pasta option.
Kwai told me he had a good gut feeling about Vin Sur Vingt.
Good Choice honey!
The escargot was buttery, garlicky and delicious!
The Cote du Rhone was perfect with dinner!
Rich, and mineral laden, it tasted of a richly grown grape.
I also enjoyed the organic Vacquerays, but not as much as the Cote du Rhone.
The Charcuterie was ok. We ordered the garlic sausage, pork sausage, homemade chicken liver mousse, country ham with pickles and pate with champagne.
Most tasted like cold cut meats and dried pate except the pate de champagne. The pate champagne was slightly sweet, and had whole peppercorns in it.
Very palatable and great with the wine and bread.
And the French Onion soup was quite good. The last spoonful was a bit salty but otherwise, very good.
Great little wine bar in the Food Market across from Central Park. We wandered in starving and sat at the bar around 4:30PM on a Friday. It was quieter than I thought it would be, not much of a crowd yet. The first woman we spoke to was interested in helping us chose a wine, but her replacement when she went on break wasn't much into service.
We had a good smoked salmon plate with a rocket/arugula salad and a HUGE salad with chicken, bacon, avocado. Price was good for the location, quality was good, but not stellar, service varied.
Great addition to the Plaza Food Hall. Came here with a large group from lunch and they allowed us to order and pay separately. Some food came out quicker than others, but it was delicious none-the-less. Service was also wonderful.
I had the Croque Monsieur – black forest ham, gruyere, garlic parmesan béchamel. The béchamel really drew me in to get it. THe roast beef sandwich also looked really good on the baguette that my friend got.
Vin Sur Vingt is a fun option in the Plaza food court. It was pretty busy when we were there late one afternoon this month; we were fortunate to get space at the bar.
Next to no sweet wines offered, but I know I'm in the unrefined minority in my preference of sweet wine. Instead I ordered the Brezeme white ($14/glass), which was a little dry for my liking. We also shared a platter of three cheeses, though I forget what they were.
I wanted to hate the Plaza Food Hall for some reason but alas could not. After wandering around the various restaurants, I settled on eating at Vin Sur Vingt. They are all high tables for the most part and a large bar. I am partial to French food. (Shout out to Shari B. for expanding my palette) I started with the foie appetizer which came with crostinis, mustard and pickles. It was great. I followed this with the smoked salmon panini which was served with creme fraiche. It was delicious as well. I drank a glass of bordeaux during the meal which was also rather good.
The meal was quick and the service also good. I would definitely come back here again. My only critique would be it is a bit on the pricey side as the sandwich was $18. That said, it is in the Plaza Hotel basement, so what would one expect.
A new addition to The Plaza Food Hall – yipee!
We made a quick stop here for some Escargot Sunday afternoon and received perfectly cooked escargot in the classic butter, parsley, and garlic preparation. Our bartender was friendly and we enjoyed conversing with her about the other locations of Vin Sur Vingt, New York, and about life in general. The wine selection is exceptional, although we did not partake during this visit and I watched a sandwich come out of the kitchen for another patron and secretly wanted to snag it for myself; it was ginormous and looking fabulous.
When touring The Plaza Food hall, Escargot should always be on the menu.
Vin Sur Vingt has a simple menu with the usual dishes you'd find at a French cafe. The food could be a little better.
We came for a late lunch and ordered…
$16 Croque Madame – Black forest ham, gruyere, garlic parmesan bechamel:
The sandwich was okay, but not the best croque madame I've ever had. The egg and sandwich were cooked separately, so the fried egg didn't adhere to the sandwich. The bread was a little bit hard. A Croque Monsieur is $14 without an egg.
$9 Pate de Campagne – housemade duck pate with toast and pickles:
The flavor was okay. The pate was actually very dry. At first glance, I almost mistook it for toast.
$18 Steak Tartare au Couteau – grass fed tenderloin, capers, cornichons, eggs, onions:
The steak was pretty good. The flavor was a little more tart than other steak tartare dishes I've had in the past. Maybe there are just more capers than I am used to.
The dishes we tried were okay, but not great. I've definitely had better croque, pate, tartare elsewhere. It's a nice option if you want to try something different from the usual options at the food halls.
