Honestly my lunch at Le Champion was just about perfect…read more To start off I had high hopes. The photos looked amazing, and this place has solid reviews so I was walking in with a certain expectation. What was remarkable is how it was even better than I thought it would be. Let's start with the ambiance. The actual cafe is very small but charming. If it's cold or rainy outside you might need to skip Le Champion unless it's not busy as I think only a few folks can really fit inside. The inside is well designed though, and feels charming without being overwhelming. What stole the show for me though was the patio. As someone who studied abroad in France it felt so French to me in the best way. To me, it feels like taking a Parisian cafe and mixing it with a hip KC bar - it doesn't feel necessarily exactly like one or the other, but it compliments both and feels uniquely it's own in the best way possible. On the day I visited it was absolutely gorgeous outside and I had one of the best breakfast burritos of my life, mostly due to their chimichurri sauce. I also pretty much add a star for any place that keeps espresso tonic on the menu. Overall I love Le Champion and can't wait to return.

Amazing Zero-Proof Cocktails + Whimsical Vibe…read more Goat & Rabbit is such a gem for anyone looking for thoughtful, creative zero-proof cocktails in Kansas City. Their NA drinks are intentional, well-balanced, and honestly some of the most unique I've tried. I ordered two drinks: * Smedley Gaze (9.5/10) Spicy, refreshing, citrusy -- SO good. If you like a spicy margarita or anything with a kick, this is the one. The Ritual tequila, cucumber, Thai chili, and lime work together beautifully. * Petal Talk (7.5/10) Fruity and slightly sweet with the most amazing lychee foam. It had a flavor reminiscent of really good berry jam -- such a fun and unique drink. They don't serve food, but they are outside food friendly which is a huge plus. The atmosphere is whimsical and cozy, especially right now with their Mad Hatter inspired "Very Merry Unbirthday" tea party theme. It gives the whole place such a fun, imaginative vibe. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're sober, sober-curious, or just want an elevated NA cocktail experience in KC! (Review by @sobersipskc on TikTok and Instagram)

My Winner of Best Restaurant Week Meal 2026…read more I hadn't been back to Westport Cafe for a few years but now I'm kicking myself because I've been missing out! I remembered this restaurant being one of my favorites in years past . For some reason it fell off my radar. Now it's shining like a beacon of fine dining French inspired cuisine in Westport, an entertainment district known for a more casual environment. If you are looking for a special date night meal, somewhere for a girls night or just for a treat yourself dinner I would highly suggest Westport Cafe. Let's talk about this incredible restaurant week menu. First was the deconstructed crab cake (which is always on the menu) I would order this dish again and again. The way it was presented was a work of art. All the components were complex and it was fun to eat. It has such an essence of crab without the heaviness deep fried crab cakes usually have. Seafood is special here because the Trout Almondine was one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. It begs to be added to the menu. The sauce was buttery and rich with nutty notes, the citrus cut through the richness so, it didn't seem heavy. The fish was cooked impeccably, I literally had no notes. They know what they're doing in that kitchen! And you know if I can rave about green beans then it was a perfectly executed dish. They had such a nice snap and vibrant green color, they were delicious dipped in that sauce. I cannot wait to go back for another solo splurge meal. This was my second dinner of the evening so I didn't make it to dessert at the restaurant but, I did take it to-go. I'm not a big dessert girl so, it wasn't very memorable however, the rest of the meal is engrained in my mind. I remember back a few years ago I used to go crazy for the muscles here so, I can't wait to sample them again. Also, just a note any menu that has rabbit on it just completes me. It's so hard to find nowadays in Kansas City and it's one of my favorite meats to indulge in. The menu rotates seasonally (as one should) so, I need to rush back in soon before the rabbit leaves. I would suggest you rush in too, I do not think you'll regret it.

The dining room is small and cozy, and it has that welcoming neighborhood feel where it seems like everyone knows each other. Reservations are definitely recommended. On our first visit, we ordered carryout. The Roasted Goat Cheese (baked goat cheese with red sauce and oregano) had great flavor, though the crostini was missing from the order. The Lasagna Bolognese was outstanding -- easily some of the best I've ever had. Rich, perfectly layered, and full of flavor with the bolognese, parmesan béchamel, red sauce, and mozzarella. For dessert, the Limoncello Cake was bright and delicious, and the NY-style salted caramel cheesecake was dense and so good. We were impressed enough that we went back -- this time with reservations -- and dined in. On our return visit, we had the Swordfish with lemon caper butter, sautéed greens, and rosemary potatoes. It was cooked perfectly, with bright, balanced flavors and generous portions. We ordered the Lasagna Bolognese again (it's that good), and it did not disappoint. For dessert, we tried the Tiramisu, and it was hands down the best I've ever had. The imported cookies, mascarpone, espresso, and cocoa were perfectly balanced -- light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The service was excellent, the portions were large, and the flavors were spot on across the board. What started as a convenient spot near our hotel turned into a place we'd absolutely go out of our way to visit again. Ragazza truly lives up to its reputation as a local gem.

So I made a rooftop reservation at Blanc... And it ended up pouring that day--luckily, the staff at Blanc were super helpful and worked out another place inside for us to enjoy some beverages and apps! Thanks to all the staff for the help, and not only were they amazingly friendly, but super prompt and attentive. We ended up getting a round of drinks (kir royale, sunrise sangria, blush theory, and French 75). All were great and hit the spot! We also got a couple of appetizers: crab rangoon dip and lamb meatballs. Again, both hit the spot and were nice bites for us before we headed to our dinner reservation. Also we were celebrating my parents' anniversary, so they were offered a pair of chambongs... Champagne in a bong shaped vessel? Super fun and random, so I'm happy we had the experience! Overall, so glad I checked out this place again because I want to add it to my rotation of drink spots. It would be especially nice to go on a lovely day/evening and take advantage of the rooftop with great views! Thanks, everyone at Blanc, for helping us have such an enjoyable experience!

Sliders were surprisingly good because I usually have low expectations.... Would stood out for both of the items was the pulled pork was really tender and worth going there just for that. Wine selection was limited, but the mixed strengths were extensive... patio is nice. It's what you would expect from a bar. That's been there forever and just has great service and great prices.
