About Us
Welcome to the food! Here at Ze Mean Bean Café we’ve had a tradition of excellence surrounding our food since the café’s inception.As the newest chef in this lineage, I have tried to raise even further the level of cutting edge cuisine the café has become known for. Our menu changes seasonally but retains the cuisine for which we are known best: Hearty Slavic fare! Classic pierogis, smoky goulash, and award winning borscht are among the favorites.Beyond the Slavic aspects, I have searched local produce, artisan cheeses, and top quality meats to create dishes that reflect the changing of the seasons, the latest food trends, but most importantly, what’s interesting and different. In blending Old World techniques and concepts with new international flavors and unique ingredients we’ve created what’s been voted Baltimore’s Most Eclectic Menu
