Beatrix, American restaurant and coffee house in River North, Chicago, US.
Beatrix is a restaurant, coffee house, and market combined in a single space in River North, Chicago. The menu covers fresh daily preparations, seasonal dishes, and specialty drinks, while the market section lets guests pick up prepared items and ingredients to take home.
The concept was developed by Rich Melman, founder of Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, together with his team. The goal was to create a neighborhood spot where people could gather for food at different times of the day.
The menu changes with the seasons and reflects what local farms are currently producing, so what you eat depends on the time of year. This connection to the region is visible in the ingredients on the plate, not just in the way the place is described.
The restaurant is on North Clark Street in River North, within walking distance of many downtown hotels and attractions. It serves from breakfast through dinner on weekdays, but closes earlier on weekends, so it is worth checking ahead.
There is an in-house bakery that produces fresh pastries every morning for that day only, so the selection changes daily. The coffee is roasted on-site as well, meaning the pastry and the cup in front of you both come from the same kitchen.
