Ten 01 is ramping up its lunch appeal with a new three-course "Power Lunch" menu that will get you in and out of the restaurant in a timely manner during your work day.

At just $15, this week's lunch menu sounds like a steal:
Choose from a starter of Wild Arugula Salad with peppadew peppers, citrus segments, shaved fennel; Winter Parsnip Soup with chestnuts, pickled shallots, balsamic brown butter; or Sweet Onion-Cauliflower Soup with spicy lamb sausage, golden raisins, almonds, curry oil. Then select a main course of either Sautéed Sea Scallops with fennel puree, shaved brussel sprouts, marcona almonds, Spanish chorizo; Roasted Sweetbriar Farms Pork Loin with housemade pancetta, creamed lentils, chorizo vinaigrette; or Wild Mushroom Risotto, rosemary oil, grana padano, aged balsamic. And to finish, housemade truffles, caramels or gelees.

Or, if you're in the mood for a bit of a liquid lunch, Ten 01 is also offering $4 martinis, manhattans and bloody mary's, and $5 wines by the glass.

“For a lot of professionals, going to lunch is something that they might not have time for on a daily basis,” said co-owner Adam Berger. “Our Power Lunch was created as a way to let those busy professionals enjoy a three-course lunch out of the office, while being able to get back to their next meeting on time.”

The Power Lunch is available Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Ten 01 is located on the corner of NW 10th and Couch in the Pearl District.
