About the restaurant

8oz of ground chuck from 100% fresh never frozen Certified Angus beef

Our meat comes from prairie-raised cattle that feast on dry wheat and pasture. The meat is then aged to achieve a superior quality of marbling and guaranteed tenderness. Not only is it tasty, it's healthier too. That's how we offer exceptionally tender, tasty and juicy meat that you want. There is no better beef than the one served at the Beauty and the Beeeef!

EAT, DRINK, AND TASTE IT!

It was a great experience. Food was good and portions are big. The waitress was nice but the service was a bit too long.

Amazing place. Location. Ambiance. SERVICE. And Food!!! Just so yummy. Loved the cadence of how they brought everything out and that there were just the right intervals of time between dishes. We did the tapas service, which was more than enough for and a great variety. My favourite was the tuna tartare with watermelon - it was literally perfect. My least fave was the chicken slider - not cooked as expected - it was more a nugget? That said the service was bar none, which for a busy Resto on a Thursday night says a lot. I will definitely go back again and can’t wait to try the next round of delights!

Great atmosphere! Crowd temporally dies down around 7:30-8pm once the office drinks crowd finishes, but then it comes back at 9! Great value!
