One Eleven Restaurant

This beautiful capital city of Little Rock is named for a rock formation on the banks of the Arkansas River that served as a landmark for travelers. An anchor for the Riverdale Design District, this restaurant is known for great seafood, the Big Swinging Deck (a second story outdoor lounge directly overlooking the Arkansas River) and the famed pink Play-De-Do concoction that's the start of many a great story of a fantastic evening.

If Little Rock has the equivalent of a French boulangerie, this is it. Every manner of bread, pastry, cake and cookie comes out of the ovens of this multi-location bakery - which also provides the buns, bread and doughy delights for many of the city's other restaurants.

A complimentary gourmet breakfast is served every morning in the dining room, which includes freshly baked bread and pastries, seasonal fruit, cereals and homemade granola, yogurt, egg and other signature dishes, fruit juices, freshly brewed coffee, and tea.

This James Beard Foundation Award-nominated dining experience evolved from the upscale classic Southern restaurant Ashley's, with the guidance of JBFA -winning chef Joel Antunes, who merged local flavor with French techniques and service to create a standout.

With one more branch in town, The Pantry Crest, it just shows that The Pantry Eateries are among the best rated restaurants in Little Rock. The menu bookmarks is heavily infused with European influences and also features specialty cocktails and a great selection of wines and beer from all across the globe.

Sushi Cafe is another leading restaurant in Little Rock. Trio's has been dubbed the Grand Dame of restaurants in Little Rock." Many who dine at Trio's as adults now, dined there with their families as children. Located in the quaint and beautiful neighborhood of Hillcrest in Little Rock, Ciao Baci serves gourmet Italian cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients.
