Cincinnati diners have been anticipating the arrival of Le Bar a Boeuf, the new eatery from chef Jean-Robert de Cavel, which opens its doors this evening.
The establishment will serve many traditional French bistro dishes, such as French onion soup, snail, trout amandine, and steak with marchand de vin (red wine) sauce. Appetizers will also recall traditional French cuisine, and include classics like fish veloute soup, and artichokes with holllandaise sauce and a poached egg.
Many of the main courses will be built around ground meat, with wagyu (Japanese cow), lamb, bison, beef, and fish among the offerings. Diners have their choice of such toppings as six types of cheese, compound butters, seared foie gras, and classic French sauces. De Cavel has two types of macaroni and cheese on his menu, as well as a number of salads.
The new restaurant also has a small wine list that includes servings by the glass as well as the bottle, with choices from Germany, France, Italy, and the United States.
The duties of general manager fall to Richard Brown, who worked at Maisonette and Pigall's with de Cavel, while Mirko Ravlic is the chef.
Le Bar a Boeuf opens its doors tonight in keeping with de Cavel's tradition of opening on a Tuesday. He might consider working with a banner printing company to create a festive flag to celebrate the opening.
