    • CARRY OUT AVAILABLE (except wine/beer)                                                                                 
       PRICES BASED ON $1 TICKETS

      Appetizers

      Escargot en Croute (4 pieces), 6 tickets: Escargot (land snails) are a French classic.    French Market escargot (6 tickets) are excellent with a glass of dry white wine (6 tickets) like the Chateau Promis Entr-Deux-Mers.  Having a little trouble with the idea of eating a snail?  Drink the glass of wine first, to loosen up your French twist!

      Moules (Mussels), 6 tickets: Moules (mussels) are a French Market delicacy.  During WWII, mussels were widely consumed in the US and France as a meat substitute.  At the French Market, moules (6 tickets) paired with Pomme Frites (4 tickets) and a glass of Nicolas Sauvignon Blanc (6 tickets) are a popular French Market lunch choice!

      Croissant, Cheese & Fruit, 10 tickets: The St Joan of Arc French Market offers an incredible array of French foods prepared on site by our chefs.  It can be difficult to make up your mind, so our chefs suggest that you relax with a glass of wine and our Plat du Fromage, an assortment of cheeses with fruit and a croissant, while you make up your mind.  VEGETARIAN

      Oysters, Rockefeller (2), 6 tickets: You might assume that Oysters Rockefeller originated in New York City, home of the Rockefellers, but the dish is from the famous Antoine’s in New Orleans.  In 1889, during a shortage of escargot in Louisiana, Jules Alciatore, son of the original Antoine Alciatore, substituted plentiful oysters for snails and created tres riche Oysters Rockefeller, named for the richest man in America.  Jules’ recipe remains a closely guarded secret and is only available at Antoine’s.  So, in the spirit of Antoine’s, the recipe for Joan of Arc French Market Oysters Rockefeller will also remain a secret.  But it’s no secret how good they are, especially with a glass of Nicholas Sauvignon Blanc or Mumm champagne from the wine garden.  When President Roosevelt had Oysters Rockefeller at Antoine’s in 1937, New Orleans Cajun Mayor Maestri asked, “Mr President, how you like dem erstas?”  

      Tarte Flambé Gratinee, 8 tickets: When French bread bakers in Alsace needed to test the readiness of their wood-fired ovens, they’d roll out a piece of bread dough to a very thin circle and cover it with crème fraiche, onions, bacon and Gruyere.  When the oven was at its hottest, it was perfect for the tarte flambee gratinee!  Only after that, was it suitable for boules and baguettes.  This is one of the most popular items on the French Market menu.  The lines will be long, so take your glass of Chateau d'Bon Ami Bordeaux with you and make some new friends.

      Pomme Frites, 5 tickets: The most popular French food in the United States is, hands down, pomme du terre frites, shortened to pomme-frites or French Fries.  The first US reference to French Fries was made by Thomas Jefferson at a White House dinner in 1827, calling them “potatoes served in the French manner”.  French Market pomme-frites (5 tickets) are prepared in the classic French way and disappear within seconds.  Best with a glass of white wine, red wine or a beer.  Three sauces are served with them (sweet chili, ketchup and aioli) or try lots of black pepper and lemon.   VEGETARIAN

      Gateaux de Crabe (Crab Cakes) (2), 10 tickets: Though crab cakes aren’t especially French, they do come from the state of Maryland (Terre du Marie), originally intended to be the dedicated “Catholic” colony of the original 13.  Our French Market crab cakes (10 tickets) are from David Allee at the Jazz Kitchen at 54th and College.   They are deep-fried to order, sauced and served on a bed of lettuce, and are always among the first French Market dishes to sell out.  But if you miss them at the French Market, they’re available year-round at the Jazz Kitchen, along with the best live music in the city-- except when it’s at the French Market!
      .
      Stuffed Mushrooms (4), 6 tickets: French Market chefs saute mushroom caps in butter, stuff them with cream cheese, minced bacon and chives, topped with melted provolone and parmesan.
       

      Soup, Salad, Sandwiches

      Ratatouille with Bread & Basil Butter, 6 tickets: French Market Ratatouille is a vegetarian stew made from tomatoes, garlic, onions zucchini, red bell pepper, eggplant, olive oil and herbes de Provence.  It probably originated in Italy and came to France when Nice was an Italian colony.  French Market Ratatouille is served with bread and basil butter.  Our basil butter is made in our kitchen from softened real butter and hand-picked, home-grown chopped basil--it’s so good, it's OK to eat it with a spoon right out of the cup!   VEGETARIAN

      Salade avec Poulet, 10 tickets:    Fresh rotisserie chicken breast atop a bed of Spring salad greens with Balsamic Vinaigrette, Mandarin orange slices and dried cranberries.

      French Dip Roast Beef, 10 tickets: Slow-cooked, thinly sliced roast beef is layered onto a crusty French roll and dressed with pan juices fortified with red wine, garlic, bay leaf and black pepper. Of course you can have extra juice!  Best with a red wine.  


      Entrees

      Seafood Crepes with grapes, bread & basil butter, 9 tickets: Each individually made crepe is filled with chopped shrimp and scallops in a Mornay sauce with a touch of sherry and sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley.  Maybe the most delicate item on the French Market menu, especially with a glass of Nicholas Sauvignon Blanc or Placido Pinot Grigio Blanc from the wine garden.

      Quiche & Fruit, 6 tickets: Quiche has somehow been maligned as un-masculine, as in “real men don’t eat it”. Well, maybe not that prissy California quiche but real men actually fight bare-chested over French Market quiche.  Last year we had to physically separate two brawny brutes in berets who were dueling for the last piece of quiche!  French Market Quiche Lorraine (6 tickets) is from the Lorraine region of Northeastern France.   French Market Quiche Lorraine is made with eggs, cream, onions, Swiss cheese and BACON!  How can it possibly be un-masculine if it has bacon in it?  In addition to Quiche Lorraine, we also have Spinach & Feta, Roasted Red Pepper (VEGETARIAN) or just plain old quiche.

      Quarter Rotisserie Chicken with bread & basil butter, 10 tickets: One of the most popular dinner items on the French Market menu board, the French Market Rotisserie Chicken dinner sells out quickly.  Like the Barbecued Ribs, Rotisserie Chicken is perfectly cooked in our smoky, charcoal-flamed revolving grill.  And the Sauvignon Blanc is perfect with it.

      Boeuf Bourguignon with pasta, bread & basil butter, 10 tickets: Boeuf Bourguignon is a classic country-French Sunday dish from Burgundy, a part of France famous for both beef (Charolais) and wine (Cote de Beaune).  French Market chefs sear beef chunks with bacon, onion, garlic and carrot.  Then they cover it with red wine and braise for hours with mushrooms and pearl onions to make that classic sauce.  Boeuf Bourguignon is served over pasta with country French bread and basil butter.  Best with a red wine, like the Chateau d'Bon Ami Bordeaux!
           
       BBQ Ribs or Rib Tips, 10 tickets: 
      While fire-cooked meat has been around as long as we have, what we now call “Barbecue” seems to have come from the Arawak people of the Caribbean islands.  The Arawaks and Tainos cooked on a wooden framework of sticks, where the flames and smoke gave the meat “a certain flavor”.  The first English use of the word “barbecue” was in a 1661 book, Jamaica Viewed.  The Arawaks apparently were angered by the invasion of their island by the English and, referring to Brit sailors, “some are slain, and their flesh forthwith Barbacu’d and eat”.  French Market Barbecued Ribs or Tips (10 tickets) are 100% American Midwestern pork grilled over charcoal, chopped as you watch and best with a couple of special Bier Brewery bieres.    

       Crawfish Etouffee with rice, bread & basil butter, 10 tickets: 
      In Indiana, a crawdad is an insect-like creature, living in ditches and creeks, that kids catch for fun.  French Market mudbugs are 100% from Louisiana, cooked by our chefs into a New Orleans etouffee, served over rice and best with any of our French Market white wines.



      Desserts

      Beignets (French Donuts) (3), 6 tickets: Historians believe that the Ursuline Nuns of France, who came to Louisiana in 1727, brought this simple pastry to New Orleans, where beignets have been associated with the Café du Monde in Jackson Square ever since.  Using the actual Café du Monde mix, St Joan of Arc French Market volunteers mix, shape, cut and fry hundreds of beignets to order, dusting each with powdered sugar.  WARNING:  French Market beignets (5 tickets) are only seconds out the fryer!  If you can’t wait for these addictive treats to cool down a bit, painful burns can occur.  The best way to cool off a hot beignet?  Dip it in a glass of Placido Moscato d'Asti or Pacific Rim Reisling.   VEGETARIAN

      French Cookie Sampler, 4 tickets: The French Market recently dispatched two of our Madames d'Cuisine to France on a crusade to find the best cookies in all the land.  They returned with their discoveries and they are: a French Macaron, a brightly colored almond sandwich cookie (no coconut); a Macaroon, whipped egg-white with coconut and almond; a Madeleine and a Palmier, a scrolled puff pastry.   VEGETARIAN
        
       Cream Puff (Profiterole), 6 tickets: 
      Profiteroles, or cream puffs, are made from French choux pastry dough.  Choux has a very high moisture content so, when it's baked, the steam generated puffs the dough, creating a large pocket inside that begs to be filled with whipped cream or custard.  Choux was invented in France by an Italian named Pantarelli after he left Florence in 1540 with Catherine de Medici.    VEGETARIAN

      Chocolate Éclair, 6 tickets: Eclairs au Chocolat are made from the same choux pastry as Profiteroles but the dough is piped into an elongated oval.  Choux pastry is boiled water, butter and flour with eggs beaten in after it’s cooled.  Because it’s a very wet dough the hot oven creates steam that makes a large pocket in the center, which is then filled with pastry cream and iced with chocolate ganache.  The éclair originated in France in the 19th century and was called “pain a la Duchesse”.  The Duchesse of where we don’t know, but she must have made them disappear quickly because “éclair” in French means “a flash of lightning”.   VEGETARIAN

      Chocolate Mousse, 4 tickets: Mousse is French for “foam”.  French Market Chocolate Mousse (4 tickets) is whipped egg white, whipped cream, sugar and chocolate.  It makes such a sinful topping on a piece of French Market Chocolate layer cake (4 tickets) that Father Tom will be standing-by to take your confession!  Or have it straight, using a Madeleine cookie as a spoon.  Best with some Café du Monde New Orleans chicory coffee or Fleur de Lis punch or yet another glass of white wine.

      New York or Chocolate Cheesecake,   5 tickets

       Carrot, Chocolate or Marble Layer Cake    7 tickets
