The hotly anticipated Butcher and the Bear will be opening soon in Lincoln Park! The boutique, chef-driven restaurant, located at 2721 N. Halsted, is described as “where the classic speakeasy meets the timeless allure of a premium steakhouse.”

Owned by Susie and Chris Maloyan (of Second City Prime Steak and Seafood fame) and Kosti Demos (owner of Sapori Trattoria in Lincoln Park), the restaurant’s menu will be led by partner/Chef Saul Ramos and pay homage to the age old art of butchery.
The menu will feature a variety of delicious dishes including Faroe Island salmon, grilled Dover sole, caviar, house-made pasta, as well as the finest cuts of meat, including steak and Australian/Japanese Wagyu tasting boards.

Dark wood, dimmed lighting and plush leather banquettes will create an atmosphere of understated luxury. A vintage-inspired cocktail menu, curated by expert mixologists, will add an extra layer of nostalgia to the experience. The restaurant’s name refers to Chris Maloyan, representing the butcher, and Chef Ramos as the bear. The space was formerly the Mayan Palace Mexican restaurant.
Co-owner Maloyan shared on his Instagram, “From the blueprint to the plate, we’re scripting a culinary love story.” And we can’t wait!
