About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Good for business meals

Boeufhaus, a French and German inspired brasserie, nestled on the border of the Ukrainian Village and Humboldt Park discreetly opened April 9, 2015. Owned by Chef Brian Ahern and Jamie Finnegan, years of preparation led them to realize they wanted the opening to be a sincere gesture to neighbors and local foodies first. Boeufhaus is the coalescence of Old World culinary techniques and contemporary style serving responsibly raised animals and artisanal products—providing a fresh take on classic farm to table fare.

Boeufhaus uses sustainable and responsibly raised animals, and artisanal haus-made products in our seasonally evolving menu. The beverage program features a lengthy list of carefully curated ciders, beers, spirits and natural wine.

The food was amazing and the service was wonderful, but did not enjoy the death metal music which was blaring. Apparently the music is amped up on the weekends.

Everything was excellent. From the welcome when you come in the door to the last desert. All the food was great. Some of the best quality steaks I have ever had. Will our server made sure that we wanted for nothing. He was the best. Thank you so much for making our Monday dining experience so special.
