Gavin Kaysen, arguably Minnesota's most notable chef, has opened Bellecour, a French bistro in Minneapolis' North Loop. The restaurant is designed to be a love letter to French cuisine, inspired by Kaysens' experience at Café Boulud in New York. The walls of Bellecour are covered in references to legendary chefs Daniel BoulUD and Paul Bocuse. The chef's vision includes traditional French bistsro cuisine and a focus on moving forward with tradition and Minnesota. The food is served daily throughout the day, with the day being served by a casual crowd and a relaxed atmosphere.
