Duchamp, the newest venture from Lumen principals Jason Freiman, Peter Gogarty, and Nick Podesta, transforms the old Meritage Bucktown location, into a contemporary eatery with star chef Michael Taus at the helm.

With generous wit, intelligence and a distinct sense of surprise Duchamp redefines the dining experience with its playfully progressive approach. The restaurant derives its character from the 20th century’s most provocative artistic spirit Marcel Duchamp. Ingenuity is apparent on the plate as well as in the interior details, with a rustic modern touch that integrates the past and present.

Duchamp is classic yet unexpected, while offering an intimate and imaginative culinary excursion for its guests.

Duchamp is located at 2118 N. Damen Avenue. For more information, call 773-235-6434 or visit the website at www.duchamp-chicago.com.

Something not exactly right

So, I went there on Friday with my wife and had a pretty good meal. Its a sleek fancy restaurant on the inside that is small and friendly. They seat you at long tables with other parties on each side of you. We went early so we had some privacy, but as the night goes on, it probably makes for a fun environment. They have an eclectic menu with small and big plates, specials and some desserts. Moderately priced relative to many restaurants that are trying to be hip and trendy. They had some really cool salts on the table that did add some interesting flavor to the food.

What was missing is that for as cool and hip as they made it with their wood finished tables and clear plastic chairs, there was something missing to make it feel warmer. The staff was friendly, the food was good (not great) and the decor nice, but something was still amiss. I hope the figure it out and I hope the make it. I like to see contemperary restaurants that don’t charge an arm and a leg.

Dishes I tried:

Beat Salad

Good fish, bug missing something to round out the plate. Lightly cooks Skate (which I couldn’t find out if it is sustainable fish or not).

Special Resioto

Tasty but a bit small. Although I was indeed full by the end of dinner with a few drinks, bread and splitting with my wife. You have to like chunks of veggies like mushrooms and others. Great presentation.
