Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

A brasserie called Cochon Volant is slated for the Hyatt hotel planned at 100 W. Monroe St. Photo from CoStar Group Inc.

Acclaimed Chicago chef Roland Liccioni and the restaurant unit of a fast-growing foodservice company are teaming up on a French spot in a forthcoming downtown hotel.

WellDone Hospitality Inc., part of Chicago-based OrganicLife LLC, signed a lease to open a brasserie called Cochon Volant French for flying pig in a 6,000-square-foot space in the 257-room Hyatt hotel under construction in the vintage office building at 100 W. Monroe St., said OrganicLife CEO Jonas Falk.

Mr. Liccioni, who built a name for himself at Le Franais in Wheeling and now runs Les Nomades in Streeterville, will oversee the kitchen, Mr. Falk said.

The restaurant will open in a corner space at Monroe and Clark streets, he said, offering all-day breakfast with French specialties like croissants and, in the evening, Mr. Liccioni's interpretation of dinner classics like steak frites. There will be about 180 seats, plus an outdoor seating area.

The Loop has been rapidly transforming in recent years with new apartment towers and hotel projects. The development boom has spurred a spate of new restaurants, including Chicago-based DineAmic Group's planned steakhouse at LaSalle Street and Wacker Drive and additional dining options in Block 37.

Yet pulling off a restaurant in a downtown hotel isn't easy, since guests often prefer to eat at places different than where they're staying. And the Loop still sees traffic in the area dip when office workers head home.

'TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF CHALLENGES'

At a lot of hotels in the area, restaurants have had tremendous amounts of challenges, and the Loop, on nights and weekends, is very, very quiet, said Chuck Hamburg, principal at Chicago-based consultancy Creative Hospitality Associates and a professor of restaurant management at Roosevelt University. They're going to have to market it as a restaurant that happens to be located in a hotel.

Having Mr. Licconi on board, however, is a huge asset for the restaurant and should help Mr. Falk and OrganicLife President Justin Rolls attract locals, said Mr. Hamburg, who once employed Mr. Rolls.

The new street-level sports-themed restaurant in the DoubleTree by Hilton in downtown St. Paul is now open.

Rival House Sporting Parlour is the creation of Graves Hospitality Corp., which manages the hotel, along with the Crowne Plaza on the riverfront, for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.

The band bought the properties last year, and construction on the restaurant began shortly thereafter. Previously, there was only a skyway-level eatery in the hotel.

The sports theme of Rival House goes beyond big-screen showings of sporting events. There are also pinball machines, Skee-Ball, pingpong and tabletop games like Jenga.

The restaurant has partnered with the Red Wagon Pizza wagon, which frequents the Linden Hills Farmers' Market in Minneapolis, and uses its pizza recipes in a wood-fired oven. The pizza features farm-fresh ingredients and a heritage-wheat crust. There also are other bar snacks and entrees.

As for the drinks, servers are all certified cicerones (basically beer sommeliers), and the restaurant has 24 craft beers on tap. There are also beer-focused cocktails and other drinks assembled by the renowned bartenders at Bradstreet Craftshouse, which is a Graves concept.

Bradstreet, as we previously reported, will be moving from the 601 Graves Hotel, which was sold and is being renamed, to the old Rye Deli spot in Uptown this fall.
