Maple Ave Restaurant

Maple Ave is a small, no-frills bistro in Vienna that serves higher end modern European options ran by two people! They offer a prix-fixe menu that changes seasonally (?) for brunch and dinner. The ingredients here are high-quality and well prepared and cared for before serving. I've heard great things about Maple Ave from a friends, so I took my family here for dinner this past Wednesday. We really enjoyed the creativity of how the dishes were crafted and plated here and the execution was also phenomenal. This time around, it was 59.00 per person for a 4-course prix-fixe dinner (two appetizers, one entree, and one dessert). Since there were only a couple options per section, we were able to try all the options they had.FIRST: APPLE HAZELNUT SOUPCreamy, pale colored soup with a thicker consistency similar to butternut squash soup. It was lightly sweet, yet savory at the same time. There were some pickled apples and toasted hazelnuts delicately sprinkled on top that added a bit of a crunch. The soup was unique and we enjoyed it.FIRST: ROOTCAKEBetween the rootcake and the apple hazelnut soup, the rootcake was my favorite. The vegetables were caramelized and made into a patty, topped generously with almonds with some umami aïoli and pimenton sauce. The rootcake was so good. Each bite was hearty and rich, and it's such a unique way to prepare vegetables. The sauce enhanced each bite and the almonds provided a nutty texture. I would recommend the rootcake as your first option.SECOND: CRISPY SQUASH NUGGETSI didn't think I would enjoy the crispy squash nuggets as much as I did. The roasted squash is breaded with panko crumbs, sitting in some dill yogurt sauce and topped with some raisins and radish. The squash were perfectly seasoned and crispy with a soft interior that left my taste buds wanting more. The dill yogurt sauce was a good complement. I'd definitely recommend this option if you're not a fan of mushrooms and/or you want something more crispy.SECOND: WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTOOne of the best mushroom risottos I've ever had. It's rich and creamy, filled with truffle flavor. The shiitake mushrooms had a dry, crispy texture. The manchego shavings on top were a great plus. The squash was used for coloring and probably some flavoring? Not sure. The whole thing was really good and memorable. I'd definitely recommend!THIRD: SHRIMPI'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but my family loved it along with the citrus braised fennel. I was a fan of the creamy semolina, though! Overall, it wasn't for me, but that's more of a personal preference.THIRD: PORK CONFIT STEAKThe pork they used was pork belly (?) and seared very nicely, topped with perfectly crispy potatoes, mangoes (?), brown butter sweet potato puree and chimi churri sauce. The pork belly melted in my mouth but as someone who's not the biggest fan of fatty pork, I wish it was a leaner cut. The potatoes were so good and went well with the sweet potato puree. Even though I didn't love the pork confit steak, I'd recommend this entree over the shrimp.FOURTH: MOCK FRIED "APPLE" PIEIt was zucchini instead of apple and you can't even tell. I loved the crispy pie exterior which was lightly topped with cinnamon. The vanilla bean ice cream was my favorite as it was creamy and smooth. The dulce de leche and lavender honey were nice touches. Very nice way to end the meal.All the food here were so rich with lots of complex flavors. Each dish was so beautifully plated with many vibrant colors. We were quite full after all the food we ate. I would recommend coming here with another person to try all the options they offer here! The food here is unique and well-executed, and I'd be open to come back to try a different seasonal menu.

Enjoyed a really great brunch experience at Maple Ave. I loved the simplicity of the dining area, the set menu and the customer service. Everything we ate and drank was amazing!!I ordered the Maple and I had to slow myself down because it tasted so good. The Beer-mosa we were skeptical of, but it was delish. And oh my goodness...the potatoes!!! I will definitely come back when in the area.

Very small two person run restaurant! It feels honey and homemade but everything was pretty good. The waiter was very friendly and I love that they change the menu up occasionally! I definitely want to come back to try more of their stuff laterZero proof honey cocktail - 3/5 I can really taste the spices and fall like flavors. Pretty refreshinggrilled peach salad - 4/5 actually so good! I love how the flavors come together and the greens were crispy and fresh Buckwheat crepe - 3/5 nice and sweet but super thin. Wish it was thicker Omelet - 3.5/5 actually pretty unique and I enjoyed this a lot! So soft Pork confit sandwich - 2.5/5 good filling but the bread is not good. I ended up just eating the center Spicy creme freche wings - 2.5/ 5 the sauce is actually pretty yummy with a nice kick and light creaminess. The issue is the chicken was dry Dessert - 3.5/5 love the sugar on the ice cream and the little dough balls were so moist and yummy!

Maple Avenue Restaurant in one encounter has shot straight to the top of my list as a unique and lovely food experience. It stands on its own, an intimate setting with only a few tables to be seen. The owners and staff lean into that, making you feel like you are the most important person in the room. They stayed attentive throughout and were incredibly knowledgeable of the changing menu and everything that went into each dish. An easy favorite for me was the Omelette, filled with caramelized onion, sweet corn and Gouda; my taste buds have rarely been this happy. Each bite drenched in the umami aïoli saturated my every sense with a delightfully warm and comfortable flavor. I feel as though I could write an essay about each bite of each dish, but I'll try to save you some time. The grilled peach salad was refreshing and led to me scrapping the plate for the remaining nuts and dressing. The squash nuggets rested on a garden's dill crema that could have elevated anything. The almond ricotta pancake was so sweet and fluffy and somehow sophisticated, it could serve as a dessert easily. The spicy crepe fraiche wings surprised me with their subtle heat and tangy lovely flavor. Everything was paired with these perfectly seasoned crispy potato's that soaked up the dishes flavors but could easily be shoveled down completely alone. I don't know if I should go back tomorrow, wait for the menu to change so I can try something new and wonderful, or some combination of the two.

We came here for a late brunch after a back to back workouts (hot yoga + Zumba) so we needed very good nourishing brunch food with some mimosa. This restaurant is tiny but mighty in food in quality, the craftsmanship and service. We were blown away by their pre fix brunch menu for $26. We got two courses each and couldn't have been more satisfied. The eggs were soft and fluffy and tasted like truffles. Fried green tomatoes were masterful. We can't wait to come back and try the dinner prefixe menu.

Amazing restaurant that is tucked away in a nondescript building right off of the main drag in Vienna. Have just 7-8 tables in a small room, and only offer a rotating 4-course 60$ tasting menu with 1-2 choices per course, but literally everything I had here (including my cocktail) was amazing + the server was very friendly as well.The portions were all small, but after 4 of them I was pretty satisfied. Everything was plated very beautifully as well.Although the food menu is limited they do have a solid drink selection.

My grandmother and I visited Maple Ave last night and had an absolutely delicious meal. What looks like an unassuming place is truly producing some incredible food. The service was also wonderful and accommodating. Ricardo helped my grandmother inside (she is 94 with a walker) while I parked the car and they even turned the lights up so she could read the menu better. We visited on Sunday at 5pm and had the whole restaurant to ourselves until a couple showed up at 6pm. We started with the beet soup, which was not only welcome on such a cold night, but full of so much flavor. I've never had beet soup and was a little wary of it but it was so good. We then had the mushroom risotto, which was definitely the star of the meal and was warm, chewy and aromatic. The squash paired with the crispy mushrooms was the ultimate flavor combo. We then had the pork, which was so tender. This was the least favorite of the dishes but was still very good and my grandmother ate every bite! We finished the meal with the chocolate bread pudding which was the perfect bite to end the meal, not too sweet, but enough to change the palette and feel like the meal was complete.A true hidden gem!

It's been a few years since we've back, and I regret not going back sooner. Unassuming on the outside, very simple, almost sparse, but the food hits way above it's humble appearances.Vibrant seasonal cocktails, short but very well priced tasty wines by the bottle or glass, and excellent service. 4 course fixed price with 2 to 3 options per course.Root vegetable cake, mushroom risotto, wonderful salmon or pork steak confit with a very interesting caponata. Had to look that item up on the internet. The quality of the food punches way above their prices. Grabbing a weeknight meal before a concert, or something special on a higher budget? Definitely a top spot.

Maple Ave. Restaurant is a truly unique experience! With only a few tables and a small, attentive staff, the intimate atmosphere made every moment feel special. The menu rotates regularly, showcasing fresh, local ingredients, which adds to the charm. Their $26 two-course brunch allowed you to pick and choose a tasty appetizer and entree. Starting with the grilled peach salad, the warm, sweet peaches paired beautifully with a light vinaigrette. We also tried the squash nuggets, breaded in panko, which offered a delightful savory crunch. The almond ricotta pancakes did not disappoint. They were light, fluffy, and served with a phenomenal house-made jam. We also had the omelet packed with perfectly seasoned vegetables, draped in a creamy umami aioli that elevated the dish. The sides of home fried potatoes were super crispy and well seasoned, they were better than French fries! The creame fresh wings were a fun add on. They were a creative twist on traditional buffalo wings, tangy and delicious, with a creamy buffalo sauce that was hard to resist. The simple decor complemented the warm service, making it feel like a personal dining experience.

Great service and ambiance! Nice and unique foods served. Very enjoyable brunch! And, love that they change the menu frequently. The servings were perfect size and I ate everything on my plate - felt very full but not overly stuffed. Staff even kindly allowed us to stay past the brunch time to chat and didn't kick us out. It is such a charming place. We'll be back for more!
