Bavette's Bar & Boeuf sits in River North as part of Hogsalt's Chicago restaurant portfolio. The menu is steakhouse-forward, centered on the bavette cut that gives the restaurant its name along with a dry-aged ribeye and a raw bar built around oysters.
Sides have developed a following of their own: truffle mac and cheese, bone marrow, thick-cut bacon, brussels sprouts, elote, salad, fries, and bread that regulars order alongside everything else.
Michelin has selected Bavette's for its Chicago guide in 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025, and The Infatuation has scored it 9/10. Regulars describe a strong atmosphere and food that lands well when the kitchen is on, alongside reports of inconsistent service and pacing on busier nights.
