Cozy and cute and the service was good. Thought the food would be better for the price and the aclaim.

Such a gem! Visiting from California for work and found this place from a food blogger who raved about the flavors & experience. It's a small but cozy dining area and we sat very comfortable. The dinner menu and wine selection were fantastic. I was shocked to see such a great list of offerings. The chef definetly knows what he's doing with local produce and proteins. For us the pricing was very reasonable including wine. The petite plateau was a great way to start the meal. Oysters briny but just right, prawns sweet and large, crudo flavors (chefs kiss). The sauces are a great pairing. Foie Gras. 10/10 loved this dish. All the components are perfect in this dish. Wagyu flat iron. 9/10 only because it was slightly chewy but it could be the cut vs anything. It was a good dish. Halibut. First time I have ever had camomile in a savory presentation and I highly recommend. Every single component of this dish was spring perfection. Rhubarb Tart tangy, sweet, perfectly balanced with the ice cream. Camomile Berry Tea. A clean floral finish to dinner. Love the presentation and flavors. I can see the influence from Chef's experience and time at Cyrus in the menu. I would put this experience up with other 1 stars IMO. I hope to return on my next visit to MN. Highly recommend you visit for a special occasion, date night or travel. read more

Had a great meal at Bucheron last night! I like what they have done with the space, though it is of course quite small and a bit challenging to navigate the gaps between the tables unless you are pretty skinny. We started with the pommes dauphines and the baby lettuces, both of which were quite good. The best course of the night was the morel mushroom special and the curried rabbit ragu. The sauces on both were so tasty, and in the case of the ragu a bit unexpected as I was expecting a red sauce but instead it was quite light with a curry flavor. We also tried the halibut, which was probably my least favorite savory dish of the night. I'm not sure if it's possible with halibut but I was hoping for the fish to be a bit more "melt in your mouth." For dessert we splurged and tried both the rhubarb tart and the carrot cake. Both were good, though I wouldn't say they fully met my lofty expectations based on some other reviews I read. Overall though, the entire meal was a great journey through a lot of bright spring flavors. Service was kind and friendly. They seemed to genuinely care that we were having a good meal. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Where do I even begin with describing the meal? Simple elegance and classy, elevated dining in Kingfield. They are located in the former Revival spot and have transformed it into a cozy nook. Started our dinner with drinks and snacks at the table, enjoyed the smoked eel and venison tartar. Everything about the eel was phenomenal! The texture of the smoky eel paired with the crisp tartine was divine. The venison and crisps were wonderful. After moving to our table, we had the pommes dauphines for an appetizer, followed by the Lions Mane and John Dory for mains. Followed by a wonderful cookies and cream dessert. If there is a place that deserves a Michelin star in town- this is it! Get there before you can't - because they will be BUSY! read more

Had one of the best dining experiences of my life last night at @bucheronmpls . The level of service is unmatched with every small detail from silverware to attentiveness covered. And that is without taking into consideration the food. Each dish is approachable, but unique. Highly balanced flavors that tickle each part of the palate with intent and curiosity. We started with two glasses of Red wine that they recommended and paired exceptionally well with our meal. Our favorites of the night were the Steak dish that was perfectly spiced and covered each sensation with great balance. The Tortellini was also out of this world. Dishes we tried: POMMES DAUPHINES, gruyère, celery, caraway SMOKED EEL tartine, cabbage, habanada pepperocini CELERY ROOT tortellini, chicken & acorn consommé, maitake mushroom Roasted TURNIPS, bone marrow, turnip greens, pear-ginger purée Sakura wagyu CULOTTE STEAK*, shallot confit, potato mousse, kalettes, sauce bordelaise LEMON TART, parsnip ice cream, roasted pineapple, Door County cherries _______ #mn #mneats #eatthis #eats #yummmm #twincities #foodie #foodieapolis #foodstagram #foodgram #instafood #eatlocal #newrestaurant #localeats #minnstagram #eatguide #newopening #yummylicious read more

Wow. This place is incredible. It absolutely blew me away! We were able to get a spot spontaneously by walking in a sit at the bar. The Venison tartar was salted perfectly, and I especially liked the crispy thin chip that accompanied the dish. The seafood platter is an upcharge, and the price might scare you away, but you need to order it. Splurge. Sashimo crudo in the middle, with fresh amazing oysters that will force you to determine if you eat it plane (delicious) or add one of many incredible sauces. I tried all options, and was torn. This is one of the top restaurants in the area IMO. read more

We were really looking forward to this meal. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the high expectations we had. We started with cocktails. While they were good cocktails, it took over 20 minutes for them to come. Considering we were the literal first table sat, that is a very long time. For the food, we sampled quite a few different dishes. Lion's Mane - 4/5 This was very good. It was crispy and the texture of the mushrooms was almost meaty. Would recommend. Celery Root Tortellini- 4/5 The broth was good. The tortellini were filled with marscapone cheese. Good dish. Mixed Chicory Salad - 4/5 Salad had good flavor. Beets were nice. Pommel Dauphines - 3/5 They were crispy and the texture was nice. But they had caraway flavor and it was almost over powering. Not my favorite. Also worth noting, the online menu says $10 but I just checked my receipt and we were charged $12. Bread - We asked for a little bread to go with the meal to soak up the sauces. While the bread was good, it was $6 for 2 slices that were cut in half and we were never informed there would be a fee for the bread when we asked for it. We assumed it was complimentary. Feller's Ranch Steak - 3/5 This is where is all went south. We all ordered this dish. Thats 3 steaks for a total of $126. We ordered them medium well. They came out and they were borderline medium if not medium rare. It was offered to take them back however we've down this road before. All that will happen is those same pieces will go back on the grill to cook longer and will come back out tougher than they started. So regrettably, we ate them the way they were. The meat was tough regardless of the cook temperature. Sticky Toffee Cake - 4/5 Flavor was good. Mandarin orange sorbet was light. Cookies and Cream - 4/5 Flavor and texture was very good here too. Milk sorbet had nice flavor. Chocolate macarons added nice crunch.. Both desserts weren't to sweet either which was nice. They charge an automatic 21% service fee. I wasn't surprised by the fee as its listed on the menu, however I dont think the service we received warranted that cost. I paid $72 for service. I did not receive $72 service in my opinion. Had I been tipping on my own, I would have dropped that by $30 easily. Bare in mind this place is quite small and the tables are very close together, like very close. Thats something to take into consideration if that's not your preferred type of space. Our bill was $461 for 3 people. I don't mind paying a high price if I feel like the experience is worth it but I dont feel like The price reflected the service and food we received. I honestly don't think we'll be back. read more

This experience was delightful. When we first walked in we were a little worried tight seating. Then we started eating! Had POMMES DAUPHINES and Venison tartar both delectable. Then the WAGYU STEAK with fingerling potatoes and potatoes mousse. Also had the MATSUTAKE MUSHROOMS, with green beans edamame and shallots. We had the poached apple with mulled donut dessert with ice cream for desert. I know that being a James Beard restaurant is a big deal but it must be difficult to perform up to the expectations every night. Service was wonderful, Bûcheron did not disappoint! read more

Bûcheron - Oysters - French Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Bucheron has been hyped up for months here in Minneapolis - we made the mistake back in January to show up without a reservation so learn from us and book a month out! I'm not one who eats out often, much less seeks out fine dining. These dishes certainly came with a high price tag, and while it may be tasty, it seems hard to justify a $45 piece of chicken. We ordered the sole, sweet potato (as I'm a vegetarian), and spring chicken. My mom said the sole wasn't very flavorful, but the sweet potato was very good and unique with the banana glaze. My favorite were the salads (beet salad was pretty typical but the romaine salad with pickled bamboo and pine nuts was amazing). The desserts were frankly a let down - the clafoutis just tasted eggy without any fruity flavor and the carrot cake was a dense block with extremely gingery sorbet that didn't pair well with the cream cheese frosting in my opinion. As for cocktails, my husband wasn't expecting the paper plane to come with such a dense and oily foam - it seemed to be made with aquafaba which isn't typical. I really liked the low ABV madeira saturn and my mom enjoyed the champs-elysees. Our server was very knowledgeable about the dishes and kind in recommending things. The atmosphere felt intimate but not too crowded or loud. Overall, we had a lovely evening but didn't feel the restaurant had quite lived up to the hype. read more

Bûcheron - Beet salad and romaine salad - French Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Allow me to be clear that the food itself was great and I would definitely recommend people giving quite a few items a try, mainly for the experience rather than anything else. While this establishment is not basing its services on experiences per se, I think in reality it resembles such with the way everything is set up. My favorite dish was the wild acres spring chicken because not only was the chicken tender and juicy, but also the maple-Banyuls glaze added a layer of flavor that elevated the chicken taste, while the wild rice added a layer of texture, allowing a more comprehensively satisfying bite when tasting the chicken. I was also a fan of the roasted turnips because it was clear that the bone marrow and the pear-ginger purée have offered a layer of taste that removed the normally weird taste that would come from a turnip. Every bite was very pleasant as a result. I would also recommend the "cookies & cream" milk sorbet because each component was its own flavor and texture, from the lemon verbena to the vanilla custard to the cocoa macaron and even the flakes on top, one bite containing every component allowed a whole bunch of various types of sweetness. It showed the multi-dimensional aspect of sweets. Not that the other dishes had a lot of food, but the amount of food given for the asparagus was just way too little. Even with the ingredients like cranberries, avocado hollandaise, etc., it was just way too little for the amount of price. The asparagus was tender and just right in texture so I enjoyed my bites, but there were too few bites. Unfortunately I was not a fan of the trout, mainly because the trout itself still had a fishy taste that wasn't remedied by the ingredients. I would think that with some relatively poignant spices, the dish would be diverse in its flavor profile, but unfortunately it didn't happen. Maybe some more traditional spices when cooking fish like lemon, thyme, and garlic can help. My main reason for a 4 is precisely because of the food amount to price ratio. Even with the dishes my friend and I have ordered, the bill rose to over $150 in total and I just felt like it was too much. I would still recommend people going because the food tasted good, the service was courteous, and the atmosphere was cozy, but please really budget for this one. read more

What an absolutely delightful dining experience! Visiting from out of town for a conference and found this gem. Sat at the bar and had the most lovely bartender, Will. The ambience of the restaurant was perfectly cozy but with the right amount of energy. Every single bite I had was deliciously satisfying with fresh and carefully selected ingredients. The Beet Salad - YUM! I would recommend this place in a heartbeat. read more

Hands down one of my favorite new restaurants of 2024 so far. Service was amazing (they clear your plates and utensils between every course), and every dish my group ordered was amazing. I was a huge fan of the pork chop, smoked eel, and I still dream of the octopus bolognese. It is a bit of a pricier spot, but totally worth it (I'm already thinking about when I'd come back for the bolognese). It's a little small inside since it took over the old Revival on Nicollet, but I love the moody vibes. read more

My Wife and I have enjoyed Bucheron since their opening week. In over 20 meals, not a single item has been less than perfect. The same can be said about the service, whether at the bar (our favorite) or in the dining room. It's our "go-to" dinner on date night. read more

I went to Bucheron for my birthday with my two best friends. We had reservations at 5, so it was pretty empty and quiet when we arrived. It didn't take long at all for the whole place to be packed full. It was a cute little space, albeit a little cramped. The servers were all exceptional. They had great recommendations and ideas. We decided we wanted to work out what we were eating before ordering drinks. Then they helped us pair our food up with the best drinks. When it came to the food, we ordered a lot but were disappointed by none. We ordered, a number of appetizers, and for dinner we had the wagyu and the celery root tortellini. We also had all of the desserts minus the cheese. Everything was to DIE for. Highly recommend getting into this place sooner than later! read more

Was able to snag a free seat at the bar a few months back before the public hype began. Great drinks, fun bartender, and superb food. Highly recommended. read more

The service was very good and the decor and theme of the restaurant felt charming yet casual. I will say the restaurant is on the smaller size so no big parties, I would think at most a party of 6 would be fine. The food was alright- interesting menu but not extraordinary for the price. We had the eggplant, chicken, wagyu, lobster, and rabbit dishes (not pictured unfortunately) for the entrees and then angel food cake and corn cake (pictured) for dessert- all fine but like I mentioned before, nothing I would go out of my way to get again for the price we paid. An experience worth trying once! read more

We had been looking forward to Bucheron for quite some time after all of the great reviews. The service was wonderful! 1) Venison tartare - wonderful! a must have 2) Octopus - seemed to lack some flavor - a little salt would have really helped to bring everything out 3) Lion Mane - wonderfully cooked, but also need a little salt to bring the flaor of the mushroom out I doubt we will go back read more

The restaurant is in the old Revival space so it's just a few tables. You walk into the bar area and a couple of counter seats against the window then there's the dining room. Started with a sparkling rose and the rum cocktail. The waiter suggested 3 savory dishes each. I find that we never need as much as is suggested and we went with a total of four for the two of us which was PLENTY. We stayed with the eel and the bison tartare. I thought the bison was exceptional. We ordered the octopus served over pasta and the steak with potato purée which also came out together. I probably would have preferred them coursed as it felt like the meal was over relatively quickly. The steak was amazing. The cut rotates and it was flank steak for us. We both liked the pasta but would pick something else next time. We split the toffee cake for dessert. It was served warm with a citrus sorbet. The service was absolutely amazing. We will be back but with all the new places to try in the twin cities it could be a while. read more

Great reviews typically start by saying "where to begin" and Bucheron definitely fits this bill. If you don't know the story, I would say, all you need to know is former chef (and co-owner) from Spoon and Stable and Demi, coupled with his wife - both has Michelin star restaurant backgrounds. Located in south Minneapolis on the corner of 43rd and Nicollet, in the space formerly occupied by Revival (I was surprised), Bucheron is exactly what you think of as a neighborhood restaurant but elevated to the next level. Not surprising given the co-owners backgrounds, the level of service, food presentation, and quality of food and drinks is something you would expect in North Loop (if you were at Demi or S&S) or in Napa/Sonoma. I typically write long reviews but I'll try to get to the point - cocktail and wine list is on point, the mixologists are friendly, helpful and do a great job of providing insight in the menu and entertainment if you watch them mixing drinks. The host/hostess and servers are very friendly, they do a great job, just be patient as restaurant is not very large so it could take a little time to turnover tables, especially when people are really trying to enjoy their food and conversations. As for the food, the menu isn't large but I'd like to try everything eventually. They recommend 2-3 dishes per person, one start, one mid, and one main. I'd say we followed that pattern and the Pommes are a good option, as well as the smoked eel - I know most people don't like eel but the smokiness of the eel served as a tartine is a perfect multi-bite starter and the cabbage blend helps bring it together. The Pommes Dauphines are amazing with the gruyère but we really thought the caraway made the dish. I'd love to have these little potato balls with a good smash burger (think Joe R's Parlour burger). Moving on to the mid-sized dishes - there's no question that the celery root tortellini in chicken and acorn consomme is arguably the most visually appealing dish and honestly, it's worthy every bite, dollar and drop in the bowl - unreal! I'm a big fan of mushrooms and the maitake mushroom is an excellent complement - if I could, I'd eat this dish weekly, especially during the cold Minnesota winter. To balance things out, we opted for the mixed chicory salad with poached beets, served with dill feta and teff chips. A very good salad option when you feel like you need some veggies. For the mains, we literally ordered the Lion's Mane mushroom, which is coated in huitlacoche and fried - it really does remind you of fried chicken without the chicken and it's delicious. The dish is served on a nice, creamy base of polenta with mushroom jus and the apple really adds a nice touch. The other main dish we ordered was the Sakura wagyu culotte steak, which is sourced locally from a farm about 30 miles outside of Minneapolis. The accompaniments for the steak are perfect - grilled shallots (confit), potato mousse with little bites of potatoes under the mousse, and flash fried kalette, which added a nice bite. We wanted to order dessert but after a few glasses of wine and all of this food, we were stuffed - next time! Bottom-line: I'll be surprised if Bucheron isn't up for several awards in 2024, including best new restaurant and maybe even a James Beard. The quality of the food and service is terrific and I think we have our next great restaurant. read more

I came here on a Wednesday evening with my wife and one thing we were immediately impressed by was the way they use the space as when It was revival it was incredibly loud and that seems to have been improved greatly. The food was all very good. I would get anything we got again. The truth is though nothing like blew me away. It might have been because my expectations were so high but I would have liked a little more wow factor at these prices. Still can't give it less than 5 stars the food was top notch. The last thing I'll say is the service could have been a little better. Here again though it was more in the feel. We got everything we needed and quickly. Just felt a little cold. In the end the place clearly deserves the accolades and I can't wait to go again and see it as it grows. read more

We were traveling through Minneapolis for one night, my wife apparently saw the news about this restaurant (which we had not heard about previously) winning the James Beard Award and within minutes she jumped online and made us a reservation (yeah, she's a good one). We were very lucky to get to experience this restaurant at this point in time. I normally like to rundown the food we ate in my reviews, but I'm not going to. Just know the food is fantastic. But what kept creeping into my mind during the meal and in the days that followed is that this restaurant feels exactly like what you always hear is every chef's dream restaurant to open: It's a neighborhood joint, lively, not stuffy, not pretentious making exquisite food. Case closed. I don't know why it's so hard to achieve, but I've never seen it quite like this before. And I hope you can keep the exact vibe, energy, fun, food, drink... everything just how it is. Jeanie and Adam and team... you did it. You won. read more

Great food and cocktails and staff. The tables are a tiny bit close to each other, but this was a great restaurant experience

This is a neighborhood gem! While it's nearly impossible to get a reservation (38 seats), you can usually belly up to the bar if you get there early. Adam & Jeanie have something special here. Everything is prepared, plated and delivered with care, and each dish has something to say. The menu changes regularly-on my last visit Morel mushrooms were on the menu!! If the Pommes Dauphines is there during your visit--try it. Regardless of what you eat, make sure you save some room for sweets at the end of the night. read more

Was able to get a last minute table outside besides being a bit booked up. Outside seating is decently spacious. We were promptly greeted by wait staff and they checked in with us multiple times through out our meal. 10/10 on service. Started off with the Pommes Dauphines (not pictured) these were tasty little snacks. They are crispy balls of potato (soft on the inside) and served with a Gruyère cheese dip. It was tasty but not sure if it was worth $15 but it is the cheapest appetizer on the menu. App 8/10. Main course was the steak. Very tasty ! I got it medium but it's normally served medium rare and I'd probably recommend medium rare to anyone who orders it. Incredibly soft and basically melts in your mouth. The potato mousse over the fingerling potatoes was so good and something I hadn't seen before. My only complaint is that for $52 I was expecting a very large steak but this was quite small. I also understand it's Waygu and it's a pricey cut and also extremely rich but after eating this I was still hungry. Main course 10/10 on taste but 7.5/10 on value. It seems that most of their plates are quite small. The family next to us shared food and maybe that's the way to ensure satisfaction. Luckily they had several nice selections on the dessert menu. I opted for the carrot cake. Lovely take on a classic. I loved the candied pecans ! Could have been slightly more moist. I also would have rather had regular ice cream over a sorbet to go with this but it was tasty in its own right. Dessert 8/10. Each of my drinks were amazing though I was partial to that Black Manhattan sooooo good ! Probably the best one I've had. 10/10 read more

Amazing. Best restaurant experience in years! The food, drinks, service, ambiance. It's worth the wait to get a table.

A new jewel in the Twin Cities' culinary crown, Bûcheron is the kind of unfussy French-American restaurant you'll want to take all your friends. This isn't a place for Instagrammable photos and uninspiring food, this is a must-go spot where the flavors are fantastic and the hospitality is top-notch. Given the talent behind Bûcheron, it shouldn't be a surprise that it's firing on all cylinders right out of the gate: owners Adam & Jeanie Ritter (chef & manager, respectively) honed their craft at some of the best restaurants in America before coming to the Twin Cities to work for Gavin Kaysen. Jeanie is why the original Bellacour in Wayzata was so well run; Adam was the head chef of the incredible Demi before departing to start this new restaurant. I tried a bit of almost everything on the menu: the Pommes Dauphines are a great appetizer of small fried balls you can dip in the accompanying gruyere. The Smoked Eel Tartine appetizer was a surprise hit at our table, with a full flavor that isn't off-putting. The Petite Plateau is a mix of oysters, slices of kampachi (yellowtail), and massive gulf shrimp that were the highlight of the group; it came with a rhubarb mignonette that's grown by the family. The weakest appetizer was the Bread & Butter, a miche that didn't really stand out. If you like foie gras -- if you've *ever* liked or considered foie gras -- you *must* try the Foie Gras Terrine: it's buttery texture gives the fullest flavor I've had in some time. It's everything that's right with the dish. It also comes with jam and a warm scone to spread it on. This was my personal favorite. The Venison Tartare is interesting: It's half cooked with a raw center, along with egg yolk and rye chips. It wasn't gamey at all and the mix of raw/cooked made it a fuller flavor. The Celery Root Tortellini and Grilled Carrots dishes were both very good, but the Octopus Bolognese particularly stuck out: the fettuccine combined with octopus two ways, roasted pepper, and broccolini was a perfect dish for a cold night. I sampled the John Dory (fish) which was cooked well and not too strong. The Lion's Mane Mushroom dish is a popular one, it has polenta and a mushroom jus that give it a very hearty taste - it's one of the better vegetarian dishes I've tried. Of the deserts, the "Cookies & Cream" stole the show at our table: it's massive but also not too heavy, with vanilla custard, milk sorbet, cocoa macaron, lemon verbena. The cocktails, including a delightful non-alcoholic ginger drink, were very good. They have a strong knowledge of their wine list. Bûcheron is a blend of a warm, neighborhood restaurant with the technical skill and service of Michelin dining. This restaurant is going in my permanent rotation of restaurants to rotate in the Twin Cities. read more

Bucheron is hands down the best new restaurant I've tried in the Twin Cities in over a year! The restaurant is cozy and intimate, service was excellent, and food was phenomenal. My favorite single bites were the pommes dauphine and lemon tart but below is everything we tried: - Pommes dauphine (5/5): I can't describe how light and airy these potato croquettes are and the gruyere sauce is out of this world. Not heavy at all. You could eat anything with this sauce and it would be amazing. - Little gem salad (4/5): well balanced with lettuce, grapefruit, pickled onions, real chunks of lobster, and these dots of sherry mayo bursting with flavor. I wish there were more of those dots. - Soup garbure (4/5): kind of a hearty stew with duck confit, cabbage, potato and bread on the side. Comforting and again, not heavy. - Celery root tortellini (5/5): melt in your mouth tortellini with maitakke mushrooms and a very umami broth. However would not recommend eating right after something salty as the flavor is very delicate. Or try to cleanse your palate. - Octopus bolognese (4/5): interesting take on bolognese and nicely made fresh pasta. Couple chunks of the octopus were slightly too charred but most were good. - Wagyu culotte steak (5/5): the steak was so tender and pairs really well with the delicate potato mousse. Does feel rich after a while. - Lemon tart (5/5): the best dessert I've had in a while and rivals the desserts at Spoon & Stable. I would never think to put parsnip into ice cream but somehow it works and the lemon tart had the perfect balance of sweetness and sharpness. Overall, we spent about $200 for 7 dishes and 1 drink (includes 21% service charge also) which is very reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Not an everyday occasion obviously but great for special occasions. I'll be excited to see new items as their menu rotates (but please don't ever take away the pommes dauphine and lemon tart!) read more
