The Beverly, a New American comfort restaurant from Travis Fourmont and Executive Chef Norman Valenti, is set to open in November. Fourmont and Valenti are the acclaimed duo behind Detroit’s Bar Pigalle. Located in the heart of Berkley at the corner of Beverly Boulevard and Coolidge, The Beverly is designed to reflect the community it calls home — casual, unintimidating, and a beacon of good times. “When I think of Berkley, I think of family and a strong sense of community,” said owner Travis Fourmont. “This city has been my home for over 13 years. I’ve always wanted to open something nearby that felt welcoming to everyone, whether it’s a quick burger after the kids’ soccer game or a special night out.” From sourcing bread from Crispelli’s to collaborating with Casa Amado and Bombshell Tea Bar, The Beverly is all about local partnerships. Executive Chef Norman Valenti, whose culinary background includes Plum Market and Bar Pigalle, as well as years in Oakland County kitchens, brings his vision of farm-to-table comfort food to life. “The food will reflect time and neighborhood,” Valenti shared. “We’re working with local farms and companies like Stoney Creek, Motor City Seafood, and Stonehedge to bring fresh, thoughtful ingredients to the table.” Diners can expect weekly rotating specials with a supper club spirit, an innovative yet unfussy beverage program curated by Fourmont, and a design that feels bright and vibrant. The team describes Bar Pigalle as “the evening speakeasy, and The Beverly as the daytime version — less moody, more alive.” Beyond food and drink, Fourmont and Valenti are deeply committed to creating a space that supports and celebrates the Berkley community “Ultimately, we’re building something that’s meant to last,” said Valenti` “I want The Beverly to feel timeless — like it’s always been here and always will be.” The Beverly also offers a private dining room, and a spacious patio. Brunch and dinner service will be available, along with a full bar highlighting regional wines, craft cocktails, and locally inspired drinks. 3180 Coolidge Hwy, Berkley beverlyrestaurant.com
