Aixois
251 E. 55th St. Cafe, Coffeehouse, French $$, $$$ Plaza/ Brookside  
One of midtown’s sexiest restaurants, this crowded bistro was created by chef Emmanuel Langlade (a native of France’s Aix-en-Provence) and his American-born wife, Megan, as their own intimate venue for sharing the wealth of France’s provinces: roasted chicken and duck, trout in... More >>
Andre’s Confiserie Suisse
4929 W. 119th St. Bakery, Dessert $, $$ Leawood  
The suburban outpost of the original Andre’s Confiserie Suisse opened in 2002, and like the combination retail shop and tea room on the Country Club Plaza, the European-style luncheonette can fill up the moment its doors open. Patrons may chose one of three prix fixe entreés, which... More >>
Andre's Confiserie Suisse
5018 Main St. Bakery, Dessert $, $$ Plaza/ Brookside  
One of the best-loved pastry shops in town also serves a Swiss-style lunch (about $11) Tuesday through Saturday. It includes one of four entrées (two are always quiche), a salad, beverage and a maddeningly decadent pastry from the dessert tray, which a server dramatically presents at the... More >>
Avenues Bistro Brookside
338 West 63rd Street Continental $$, $$$ Plaza/ Brookside  
Jason Rubis and former Ritz-Carlton chef Joe Birch have done an amazing job turning the old Saper Cleaners space in Brookside into a snazzy little bistro that serves lunch, dinner and weekend breakfasts. It’s not a particularly fancy place, but the ambitious, continental-style menu lands... More >>
Benton's Steak & Chop House
Westin Crown Center, 1 Pershing Rd. Steakhouse $$$$ Midtown  
This recently redecorated steakhouse has one of the best views in the city, which is only one reason to make reservations for a leisurely dinner (it doesn’t serve lunch) and enjoy sterling service, an oddball array of appetizers (including a few favorites from the long-gone Trader... More >>
Blanc Burgers & Bottles
419 Westport Rd. Traditional $, $$ Westport  
The creative team behind The Drop — Eddie Crane, Ernesto Peralta, Jenifer Price and chef Josh Eans — have painted the interior of this Westport storefront a gleaming white and stacked the refrigerators with bottles of imported beer and fancy soda pop. The food menu isn’t... More >>
Blue Grotto
6324 Brookside Plaza Pizza $$, $$$ Plaza/ Brookside  
There’s nothing blue or cavelike about this chic pizzeria, which turned a long-neglected Brookside retail space into a soaring two-story restaurant. With an exhibition kitchen on the first floor, it’s a sleek, stunning series of dining areas in tones of charcoal, slate and ebony. All... More >>
Blue Koi
1803 W. 39th St. Chinese $, $$ Westport  
This hip and stylish dumpling-and-noodle shop started a culinary Chinese revolution on Kansas City’s Restaurant Row by presenting unexpected dishes — Ants on a Tree (cellophane noodles with minced pork), Chinese pot roast, flavored bubble teas — in an unabashedly California Cool... More >>
Blue Koi Leawood
10581 Mission Rd. Chinese, Fusion, Vegetarian $$, $$$ Leawood  
The eccentric charm and delectable Asian dishes that made midtown’s Blue Koi so popular have transferred well to this second location in the Mission Farms development. Although this venue is bigger and boasts a pretty outdoor patio, it’s designed to evoke the 39th Street space, and the... More >>
Bluestem
900 Westport Rd. Contemporary $$$, $$$$ Westport  
Midtown’s little jewel box of a boîte seats just 43 diners, but that only adds to the exclusive cachet of this intimate dining room, where the perfection-driven husband-and-wife team of Colby and Megan Garrelts creates elegant cuisine. The food is excellent, and the service is... More >>
Café Europa
323 E. 55th St. American, Contemporary $, $$ Plaza/ Brookside  
Café Sebastienne
4420 Warwick Contemporary $$, $$$ Westport  
Fittingly, the food in this museum restaurant is often as visually sumptuous as the art on the walls, though many patrons prefer the intimate dining room for lunch rather than dinner — which is served only on Friday and Saturday nights, when the menu is more limited and the food can be... More >>
Cafe Provence
3936 W. 69th Terr. French $$$ Prairie Village  
This tiny French boîte has proved to be chef-owner Patrick Quillec’s most successful restaurant by not being trendy in any fashion. It’s a demure and intimate space with lace curtains and toile upholstery and a clientele with terribly good manners. Chef Daniel Quillec,... More >>
Capital Grille
4740 Jefferson Steakhouse $$$ Plaza/ Brookside  
So what if the steaks, chops and seafood at this Atlanta-based chain restaurant are among the most expensive ˆ la carte dishes in the city? High prices are all part of the allure for the power brokers and high rollers who find more glamour in its faux 19th-century ambience than in Kansas... More >>
EBT Restaurant
1310 Carondelet Contemporary, Continental $$$, $$$$ South  
Back in 1973, United Missouri Bank razed the downtown building that housed Kansas City’s best carriage-trade department store, Emery Bird Thayer. The bank saved a number of architectural relics from the store — brass elevator cages, a few leaded-glass windows, carved brownstone column... More >>
Em Chamas Brazilian Grill
6101 N.W. 63rd Terr. South American, Steakhouse $$$ North  
A comfortable, casual South American-style churrascaria, this restaurant doesn’t have a menu. Instead, a single price — about $35 (which doesn’t include drinks, dessert or gratuity) pays for as much freshly grilled meat as you want to eat, sliced off a metal rod right at your... More >>
Extra Virgin
1900 Main St. Mediterranean, Spanish $, $$ Downtown  
Chef Michael Smith took over the former art gallery adjacent to his namesake restaurant and, with imaginative assistance from designer Eric Negrete, turned it into a sexy tapas temple. The cuisine is predominantly Spanish, with such unexpected dishes as pig ear salad, braised pork cheeks and... More >>
Fiesta Azteca
7534 Raytown Rd Mexican $, $$ East  
A hidden treasure in a Raytown shopping strip, this small restaurant is the pride and joy of owner Andres Orozco, and if you let him, he’ll order for you from his extensive menu of creative Mexican dishes. Orozco knows best, and even if he doesn’t get to choose your meal, he’ll suggest something... More >>
Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue
13441 Holmes Rd. Barbecue $$, $$$ South  
This rambling old building is the original location that restaurateur Jack Fiorella opened in 1974 — and where he had an epiphany that there could be an upscale barbecue shack with cloth napkins, polished service, a full bar and salads! It was an immediate sensation and launched Fiorella’s... More >>
Flavor of India
12112 W. 87th St. Indian, Pakistani $, $$ Lenexa  
Gaslight Grill
5020 W. 137th St. American, Traditional $$, $$$ Overland Park  
This restaurant’s owner Dick Hawk used to own a hotel at Lake of the Ozarks, and when he moved to Kansas City he brought the jazz band with him. Seven-night-a-week jazz is one of the attractions at this “grill,” which isn’t as casual as the name suggests. The main barrel-vaulted dining room... More >>
Genovese Italian Restaurant
941 Massachusetts Italian $$ Lawrence  
This appealing, very casual Italian restaurant is owned by Subarna Bhattachan and Alejandro Lule – proprietors of Lawrence’s popular La Parilla and Zen Zero dining spots – and Mexican-born chef Armando Paniagua. Meals begin with a plate of soft foccacia and a tiny dish of olives,... More >>
Hot Basil
7528 W. 119th Thai $, $$ Overland Park  
J. Gilbert's
8901 Metcalf Steakhouse $$$ Overland Park  
Named after Kansas City’s legendary restaurateur Joe Gilbert (founder of the former Gilbert/Robinson restaurant empire), this steak house pays tribute to a style of hearty American dining that has been vanishing since the Vietnam War. Everything is big at J. Gilbert’s: the booths, the... More >>
Jay Wale's Bakery-Bistro
503 N. Sixth St. Bakery, Breakfast, Brunch, Dessert $, $$ Kansas City, Kansas  
Brazilian-born Ellen Hume turned a little storefront in Kansas City, Kansas, into a charming, European-style lunch and bake shop, which she named after her children and grandchild. Reflecting Hume’s sense of home and family, it’s intimate and comfortable, and the refrigerated pastry... More >>
