Cuisine & Wine Bistro in Gilbert is expanding its hours in order to launch a new lunch menu Tuesday, March 26.
The restaurant and bar had been opening at 3 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. Starting Tuesday, it will open at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday-Saturday.
Co-owner Mairead Buschtetz says adding lunch gives her husband, chef Fabrice, an opportunity to get creative with a new menu.
‘‘Fabrice loves getting to experiment and create new menu items,’’ she says. ‘‘This time catering to a luncheon crowd.”
The lunch menu, available from 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m., includes seven main dishes:
- French burger with brie, red wine onion confit, and bacon on a baguette ($15);
- Roasted chicken sandwich with bacon, tomato, and dijonnaise spread on ciabatta ($13);

- Grilled salmon sandwich with dill and cucumber sauce ($15);
- Quiche of the day ($16);
- Croque Madame with ham, bechamel, Swiss, and fried egg on sourdough ($14).
All prices include a side dish.
There also are three soups ($8-$12), four salads ($13-$15), and three desserts ($9).
