2025 JBF Best New Restaurant Bûcheron 🇫🇷 @ JBF 🍽️ [PRE$]

***SOLD OUT. CLOSING RSVPS***

We are heading to JBF Platform! Bûcheron—the 2025 James Beard Award winner® for Best New Restaurant and one of The New York Times’ “50 Best Restaurants in America” in 2025—has become both a beloved Minneapolis neighborhood restaurant and a national dining destination, where warmth, care, and deeply satisfying food bring people together night after night. Save on the flight to/from Minneapolis! ✈️

Named for the French word for lumberjack, the restaurant draws inspiration from Minnesota’s North Woods and the generations of lumberjacks who shaped the region. Co-owners Adam Ritter and Jeanie Janas Ritter channel that spirit into a French-American bistro rooted in the Upper Midwest, where chef Ritter’s culinary creations nod to Scandinavian-American home cookery and the region’s seasonal pantry. For this special dinner, the Ritters will present a menu inspired by the cooking that has made Bûcheron such a cherished destination with soulful dishes that bring the flavors of the North Woods to New York.
