Mom Pop Corn - Milwaukee

Just incredible. We stopped in for a weekday lunch and Bavette definitely did not disappoint. The lovely street side patio was a wonderful place to sit outside, enjoy the weather, and people watch. Service was incredibly attentive and friendly. But the food; oh, the food. The beef carpaccio was absolutely divine. I also really enjoyed the deviled eggs and octopus. We got some trout dip with bread that was not my favorite, but everything else we ordered was spot-on. Can't wait to return.

I have been here 3 times. Once by myself for lunch and had an excellent pulled pork sandwich and butterscotch pudding in October 2022 (5 stars). The second time was with my husband and son for lunch and we loved it (5 stars). Third time was my husband and I came there on a Friday night (4 stars). We had reservations; were seated immediately. The service was fine but our server asked us if we wanted to see a dessert menu while my husband was still eating his entree. I consider that not great server/restaurant etiquette. The appetizer and entrees were very good. We ordered 2 butterscotch puddings. They were served in 2 different-sized cups, so the amount in one of the cups was much more than the other cup. Of course I liked the larger cup. I would definitely come back again and recommend this restaurant.

La Boucherie means butcher in French, so be ready for a meat-centric meal! This small restaurant was nice enough for a special occasion but casual enough that we didn 't dress up too much. We worked through several courses: first breads, trying both the grilled cornbread with honey truffle butter and the focaccia with olive oil. I wouldn 't have thought honey and truffles would go well together but it made for a well rounded flavor with the hearty base of the cornbread. By comparison, the focaccia, no slouch though it was, seemed more one dimensional. The olive oil served was young and peppery, but again, not as fully realized as the flavors of the cornbread. We then tried the beef fat fries; if you 're old enough to remember when McDonald 's and the like cooked their fries this way, prepare to have flashbacks. One order was more than enough for two and came with a pickle-heavy aioli. We capped the meal off with a charcuterie board; yes, they 're trendy, but this is actually the kind of place you want to get one. It was a chef 's choice of meats and cheeses (they helpfully provided a slip of paper telling us what they were) including salame Rosa, country pate, coppa, Quicke 's goat truckle cheese, Hook 's Paradise blue and Red Barn Farms Heritage Weisse, along with cornichons, caper berries, candied pecans, jams, and mustards. The only thing we didn 't mutually care for was the pate, but we enjoyed all the other choices. Our waitress was very friendly and kept a good eye on us throughout the meal. There was also a small shop at the front where you could buy items to take home. Overall, a nice spot for a special dinner out in Milwaukee 's Historic Third Ward.

Nice place, loved Korean bbq Sandwich and tartar. Good casual place for lunch, would comeback

Made my first visit since the move to the new location. The space is a little bit bigger than the old one and the retail section up front is expanded, but it retains the same charm. It's a nice place to get a fancy but unpretentious meal at the bar, but if a date took me here I'd be impressed too. The food is always fantastic. It can be a little hard to make a decision. Some people find a favorite and order it every time. And there are plenty of worthy contenders. The corned beef tongue Reuben is always good. Others swear by the chili. I saw several people getting the bread and cultured butter, or the cornbread. All fine choices. Today I flipped a coin to decide between the meatball and the Korean steak au jus. I got the Korean steak with a green salad on the side. This was the best meal I've had in awhile. The sandwich was messy to eat--turn it on its side to dunk in the hot pot broth and peanuts get everywhere. But I wouldn't sacrifice the peanuts for convenience. The steak was tender with some pleasant chew and the kimchi aioli and cabbage slaw added some crunch and complexity. The bread was up to the task of holding everything together and soaked up the broth. The salad was a nice portion, lightly dressed, with watermelon radish, tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta. It was a perfect accompaniment to the sandwich. I was already in a state of food bliss and the server asked if I wanted to look at the dessert menu. I got the brownie and ate it slowly, in small bites. It was warm and decadent but not too rich. Bavette is not cheap but for the quality and composition of the food it's a pretty good value, and casual enough to make a spontaneous lunch stop during a day in the Third Ward.
