Bûcheron · Minneapolis
Bûcheron applies fine-dining technique to a compact south Minneapolis neighborhood restaurant. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine describes intricate pastas, shellfish, pâté, cocktails, and a beverage program assembled with unusual care. The cooking can be ambitious, but the room remains intimate and approachable. This entry preserves the existing place identity while correcting its street address to the restaurant's Nicollet Avenue home.
Demi · North Loop
Demi is Gavin Kaysen's intimate North Loop tasting counter, where a sequence of small dishes arrives with direct conversation from the cooks. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine emphasizes the ceremony and detail without separating them from hospitality. The limited seats and set progression make the experience fundamentally different from a conventional multi course dining room.
P.S. Steak · Loring Park
P.S. Steak brings a modern steakhouse menu to a historic building overlooking Loring Park. Dry aged beef, classic sauces, seafood, and a serious bar program support celebratory meals without abandoning neighborhood service. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine's full review places the restaurant in conversation with the Twin Cities' older steakhouse institutions.
