BrasserieV Madison,WI 1923 Monroe St. Madison, WI

You are in Madison Wisconsin, maybe you were there to catch Willy Porter @ the Barrymore..anyway want to dine at a fab gastropub? BrasserieV is your place. There is not a lot of seating but no one seems to mind. People wait, chat, have a refreshing Belgium beer or glass of wine and hang out. The feel of this place is warm and inviting, the vibe is comfortable and friendly. The very talented chef Rob creates delicious food offerings sure to please any one's palette. We eat there every chance we can. The menu changes so there is always an anticipation of excitement when you dine there. The beer menu changes too and even though you may feel sad a favorite brew has gone, there will be another one to take its place. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. We give them 3 Triangles for food and service. Great Job!!We were just there again, in town for the Madison Food and Wine Show. I had the Moules-Frites – a heaping bowl of mussels prepared in the House broth (a classic Belgian preparation of garlic, wine and butter), AMAZING!!! Another member of our party had the Glazed Maple Braised Pork Belly, Pleasant Ridge Polenta, Potato-Crusted Fennel. There was also the Steak-Frites12 oz. flat iron steak, cabernet pan sauce, sauteed greens & frites enjoyed by Colin a member of our dining party. All good! This place really is a gem of a find. I think Diner23 might have to change their triangles from 3 to 4. I'm thinking....
