Chefs to open Bear Leek restaurant in RiNo

Chefs Harrison Porter and Rema Maaliki will open a new restaurant called Bear Leek this summer in the former Osaka Ramen space in RiNo. They recently took over the lease and plan to maintain the existing layout. Bear Leek will feature house-made bread and charred leek-butter shaped like a teddy bear, along with a bruin-molded dessert. The menu will reflect their diverse culinary experiences without adhering to a specific style. The restaurant aims to create a community dining experience, with a mix of intimate and open kitchen settings. The 2,800-square-foot space will retain its underground feel, enhancing the unique atmosphere.
