Bedford & Co is the first solo venture by chef John DeLucie who left the Crown Hospitality Group late last year amid the crumbling of the former restaurant empire. The menu is contemporary American cuisine infused with wood-fire cooking techniques gleaned from his travels in Argentina allowing more creativity and focus on the food than DeLucie's previous spots.
Housed in the Renwick Hotel, this wood-lined subterranean restaurant has a bit of a 1970's vibe, with geometrically striking light fixtures, dark leather banquettes, and a long marble bar just begging to while away the hours at. The menu, which has a mixture of sharing dishes and big plates really revolves around the grill with big, juicy meats and bold smoky flavours, focusing on hyper-seasonal ingredients all sourced as locally as possible.
Best of all - they're serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch on the weekends.
Settling in for some serious meats
Whole roast chicken with celery root, chestnut, and wild mushroom. Hand cut beef and barley tartare. Octopus with squid ink vinaigrette, cucumber and chili.
