Menus For Flying Fish

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. The bright little diner's mismatched tableware and napkins, indoor and outdoor dining and sweet, hip staff would be an asset anywhere; gems such as third-of-a-pound burgers featuring small-farmed, pasture-raised beef from Simon Farms, brats Farm Girl Meats' pork, and an incredible curried chicken salad sandwich on an Arkansas Fresh Bakery bun.

When in doubt, opt for the stuffed protein: Locally ranged Falling Sky Farm chicken breasts are stuffed with Boursin cheese, and trout (a north Arkansas favorite) is plumped with spinach and crab; the stuffed quail, packed with wild boar sausage, is also popular.

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.
