Bûcheron is a beloved neighborhood French-American bistro on South Minneapolis's restaurant row. The intimate, candlelit space features zinc bar top seating and a thoughtful wine list emphasizing natural and Old World producers. The kitchen's French technique applied to Midwestern ingredients makes for some of the most exciting cooking on Nicollet Avenue.
