Lardon

Cured meats are our foundation at Lardon, a restaurant from Meadowlark Hospitality. Lardons charcuterie program focuses on the utilization of the whole animal, sourcing from local farmers and purveyors throughout the Midwest.

Inside the dining room, a large window into our charcuterie cave provides our guests with an intimate look at the lengthy curing process, as our team utilizes whole animals to create an ever-expanding list of world-class salumi and charcuterie.

Our all-day restaurant transforms from café to salumeria to bistro, offering espresso and housemade pastries in the morning, daytime lunch, and charcuterie all the time. Stay for our 4-Course Prix Fixe dinner menu at $50 per person, offered Wednesday through Saturday with creative ever-changing seasonal menus that rotate monthly.

Our beverage menu features a refined selection of wine and an expansive amari list, in addition to eight rotating draft beers and seasonal signature cocktails rooted in aperitivo culture. Coffee and espresso, roasted locally by Metropolis, tastes even better when enjoyed al fresco on our romantic patio.

The rest of the world may be in a hurry, but at Lardon, we know that good things take time.
