The vegetable-centric, fast casual restaurant by world-renowned chef José Andrés is open to Cleveland Clinic patients, visitors, and staff.
Beefsteak is the first fast-casual concept created by chef José Andrés and team, where farm-fresh, market-driven vegetables take center stage to create hearty, veggie-centric meals packed with flavor and nutrition. To fuel busy lifestyles and the growing desire to eat well, the affordable and accessible concept executes good food, fast. It’s America’s bounty on your plate-all prepared to perfection in front of you.
Beefsteak at Cleveland Clinic operates in partnership with Bon Appétit Management Company and marks the sixth Beefsteak location since the restaurant debuted in the Washington, D.C. in early 2015. Beefsteak launched its first location with Bon Appétit, a subsidiary of Compass Group USA, in June 2016 at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. As part of a natural progression of this strong relationship, José Andrés’ ThinkFoodGroup and Compass Group USA announced an exclusive three-year partnership to conceptualize, launch and execute concepts across Compass Group’s venues. This joint venture combines the culinary creativity of Chef José Andrés with the operational expertise of Compass Group USA.
“I’m so excited to be opening our first Beefsteak in Cleveland at the Cleveland Clinic. I’m very proud of the partnership with Bon Appétit Management and our growth together—I know this is just the beginning,” Andrés says.
“Bon Appétit has long believed that from-scratch, local, and responsibly sourced food can be a powerful medicine,” says Fedele Bauccio, CEO and cofounder of Bon Appétit. “We’re excited to be working together with the Cleveland Clinic and our longtime partner José Andrés to bring plant-forward menus that are good for people’s bodies and good for the planet to the Cleveland Clinic community.”
