I’m certain that no matter how you feel about the food at Ukrainian Village’s Boeufhaus you’ll find it hard to resist repeatedly blurting out to your friends, family, and pets the satisfying portmanteau of the French word for “beef” and the German for “house.” Truthfully, I’m certain I know how you’ll feel about the food too.
Bar snacks like the goat-cheese-stuffed onions, which are fried in bread crumbs and sauced with a savory acidic duo of black olive tapenade and salsa verde, are as sophisticated as the Alsatian sausage and pasta roulades fleischnacka are irreverent. On the other hand, beignets stuffed with braised short rib are a bit drier than expected, and the pastrami croquettes, rolled in rye panko, have a pasty interior.
Overall Boeufhaus is the kind of place I don’t run across often enough, and one that I’m happy to say is the sort of restaurant every neighborhood deserves. v
