Toledo Museum of Art Café offers new winter menu
The Toledo Museum of Art
is now serving its winter menu, featuring hearty, healthy dishes
that appeal to a wide range of palates. Among the many items new
for this menu are sandwiches featuring Focaccia, a flat
oven-baked Italian bread made at the Café and a vegan,
gluten-free carrot soup.
“The Museum Café offers food you won’t find anywhere else
in the city in a fun, creative setting,” said Executive Chef
Joe Felix. “The Museum Café is the perfect option if you are
looking to provide a unique experience for those out-of-town
guests, enjoy a weekday lunch or a date night before one of the
many events.” Café patrons – young and old alike – are invited
to explore their creativity using the colored pencils to draw on
the white butcher paper covering the tables.
The menu, which is rotated approximately twice a year, features
both vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. The new Focaccia
sandwiches are served hot and with either a side of vegetables,
side salad, fruit salad or chips. Selections include sweet n’
sour pork, root beer braised brisket, drunken apple and walnut
chicken and grilled portobello.
There are several dishes featuring the café’s handmade gnocchi,
including cabernet braised short rib gnocchi featuring butternut
squash, caramelized pearl onions and cabernet demi; achiote
grilled chicken gnocchi featuring avocado, black beans and corn
salsa, sour cream, tomato and chimichurri; and mushroom braised
carrots gnocchi with carrots, porcini, cremini, roasted red
onion, parsley and mushroom gravy.
New vegetable side dishes include poblano roasted brussels
sprouts, roasted root vegetables, broccoli salad, and roasted
cauliflower. A chef’s special and a half-pound brisket burger
with rotating gourmet toppings are also included in the new
menu.
The kid’s menu features a variety of the childhood favorites,
such as the pan seared gnocchi and cheese, Italian bread pizza,
grilled three-cheese sandwich, as well as hot dogs and mini
cheeseburgers.
For sweets and snacks, the menu includes chocolate covered
expresso beans, fresh fruit salad, cannoli, reboot nut medley,
chocolate brownies, cupcakes, cookies and more.

Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 10
