It is in the fashionable district of North Loop, Minneapolis, that chef Gavin Kaysen chose to settle after years working alongside famous French chef Daniel Boulud, at Café Boulud in New York. Housed in a former coffee warehouse, designed in the 19th century by architect William Channing Whitney, Demi is as accomplished as it is discreet. Here, chef Kaysen has curated a culinary experience designed to appeal to a demanding clientele that wants to combine highly original cooking with relaxed conviviality. He has deliberately broken with the codes of traditional gastronomy: twenty guests sit at a U-shaped counter, surrounding the kitchen team as it prepares menus of 7 or 11 dishes–depending on the evening. Accompanying wines are chosen on the basis of their capacity to surprise. While each sitting may begin with a humble bowl of broth, it will evolve to become a feast of flavor and an emotional, visually rich experience to boot. An astonishing piece of dining theater.

Saison was the first gastronomic restaurant to prepare open-hearth wood-fired cuisine. The former warehouse that is home to this San Francisco dining institution combines a rustic flavor with intimacy and refinement. The backdrop sets the tone for the culinary experience that takes place, which pays tribute to the local terroir as well as contemporary culinary technical innovation. The fertile abundance of the Californian landscape is a constant source of inspiration for Richard Lee, who works with the best producers, farmers and fishers in the region. Driven by a penchant for simplicity, the chef surprises with highly original ingredient combinations and subtle seasonal flavors, amplified by a flamboyant cooking method that has become his trademark. Alongside the food, the wine list is renowned as among the best in the United States, certainly equal to the creativity of the dishes. It is structured around the most remarkable vintages of the New and Old World, with a predilection for wines from Burgundy. And nothing quite compares to sipping buckwheat tea after a meal near to the flaming hearth.
