Bio
Inspired in part by old-world butcher shops, salumerias, and cafes across the globe, Lardon specializes in charcuterie and salumi, all made on site. Enjoy fresh pastries in the morning, sandwiches for lunch, and French-inspired bistro fare in the evening, with house-cured meats and artisanal cheese available all the time. Cured meats are our foundation at Lardon as our charcuterie program focuses on the utilization of the whole animal, sourcing from local farmers and purveyors throughout the Midwest.
Our beverage menu features a refined selection of wine and an expansive amari list, in addition to our signature cocktails rooted in aperitivo culture, which taste even better when enjoyed al fresco on our romantic patio.
Lardon's historic space is filled with subtle nods to the origins of the 110-year-old building, including the exposed brick walls and original wood joists. 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.
The rest of the world may be in a hurry, but at Lardon, we know that good things take time.
