beans&barley

beans&barley
1901 E North Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53202
tel: 414) 278-7878

what was consumed: chicken salad sandwich, burrito, and a delicious latte.

before heading out of milwaukee, we agreed to meet our company for a quick and delicious lunch at beans & barley.

beans&barley is a market and restaurant all in one. specialty things, healthy eats, etc. i could walk around places like beans&barley for quite some time (i did spend a bit of time in the market before sitting down for our meal, don't worry!).

we asked about what was most delicious at beans&barley and our company basically listed most everything on the menu (haha). BJL and i opted to split their vegetarian burrito (it just looked so good!) and a chicken salad sandwich. YUM! good choice! fresh ingredients combined well to create simple and delicious dishes.

my die-hard milwaukee-an friend also told me beans&barley is one of his go-to places. i can see why! it'll be a regular stop for me the next time i'm in milwaukee.

benelux

benelux
346 N Broadway, Milwaukee, WI 53202
tel: 414) 501-2500

what was consumed: fries! with house-made dipping sauces (roasted garlic aioli ftw!). plus mussels (chipotle coconut: sun-dried tomatoes, chipotle coconut milk, cilantro, shallots), a nederland salad (with quinoa, golden and red beets, cashews, lacinto kale, romaine, heirloom carrotos, brussels sprouts, green cabbage, and rice paper with a pomegranate balsamic glaze and pomegranate poppy seed vinaigarette), and an order of the cheese stuffed bitterballen.

hello, milwaukee! my first time in this city, and where do we go for my first meal? benelux. roof-top seating for belgian-style food aka delicious treat! and fries? yes please! 

in addition to some of your usual favorites (e.g. mussels), be sure to order the cheese stuffed bitterballen: meatballs stuffed with cheese curds. yes, i could have eaten multiple servings of the stuffed bitterballen. i agreed to sharing an order with my eating compatriots, which turned out to be a smart move: more room for fries! YUM.
