Where to eat Contemporary food in Little Rock: The Best Restaurants and Bars

September 2, 2020 Etsuko Causey

Reviews on Contemporary food in Little Rock, Arkansas, United States. The Clintons may have put Little Rock on the map, but this charming and historic capital city offers plenty of reasons to keep it there. The Central High Museum tells the painful, powerful story of the city's racial struggles. Political buffs and Clinton fans will want to check out the State Capitol. Shoppers can spend hours at the River Market, a collection of tasty eateries and eclectic stores. Kids will be more than wowed by attractions such as the Children's Museum, the Museum of Discovery and the Zoo, famous for its eye-popping ape exhibit. Stay at a charming historic abode, an inviting bed and breakfast or a luxury hotel. Eat at fabulous restaurants and enjoy exciting nightlife. Little Rock has all the ingredients of a perfect weekend getaway.

Terrace on the Green

Reviewed By Gary B

Got this Mediterranean style place as a tip from another restaurant as a wonderful place near the Burgundy hotel. This is a small place so reservations are helpful. The layout is clean with tables well spaced. The clientele is intelligent and the service prompt.We had one of the specials - a delicious halibut with tender carrots (29.50). I had the veal Barcelona (21.50 ) which was fine veal smothered in eggplant and topped with a beef ragu. Perhaps a bit too much sauce but the asparagus was tender and sweet and the pasta a nice side.The soups are very generous too.A nice night out.

Ciao Baci opened its doors on June 12, 2001, at the corner of Beechwood Street & Woodlawn Drive. Our unique location is deep within the heart of historic Pulaski Heights (Little Rock's original suburb) & is bounded by the city's most historic & fashionabl

In Hillcrest within walking distance of my house, it's been a couple years since I've been here. Last time I think they were more of a "tapas" style restaurant - now it's a full fledged restaurant. An interesting menu too. I tried the Calamari appetizer with Beet sauce and it was excellent. I had the blackened shrimp dish with pasta. It really didn't have a "blackened" flavor but more of a wood fired oven taste. The shrimp were large and cooked just right. The pasta and andouille sausage was very tasty too. The other dish was a chicken schnitzel which was very over cooked and dry. Service was very good. It did get a bit loud in there around 9:45 to 10 when we were leaving probably cause the crowd was converting from a dinner crowd to a drinking crowd. They were busy!! Very casual seating in and outside. Different seating options all over from tables to couches. Very neat.

I’ve eaten here before. Today we went after lunch. I’m not a big “brunch” person so I opted for the chicken Caesar salad. The chick was dry and almost shredded like. Very little flavor at all. Tasted like it was boiled chicken... probably should have opted for one of the brunch items this time!Thanks very much for the feedback. We use the same chicken as that which is on the highly popular Peck's Special Salad. It has been served in LR since the 1940s, formerly at my wife/partner's family's Sam Peck Hotel. The chicken is baked, but because of your helpful commentary, starting next week we will begin grilling the Chicken Caesar to order. Again thanks and we hope to see you again soon.

I met girlfriends here for a holiday celebration and order the fish tacos. For whatever reason my meal was not out placed and the other five friends began their meal 10 minutes before I was served. The meal was delicious and when the tickets cAme my meal was covered by the management. It was not even necessary but soo thoughtful. I’ll be back. Very considerate service.

I was a sole diner, but I was greeted and treated warmly and efficiently throughout my meal. The food and wine were excellent. Wish I could've stayed longer & definitely hope to go again when I'm in Little Rock. The staff member @ The Capital Hotel gave me good advice, & I'm appreciative.

Oh my this is a best in class restaurant. You walk in the door and the charm and friendly experience begins. Seated in right away in Donna's section, great suggestions. The wine by the glass selection is unparalleled, served in proper glasses. Started with heavenly Sauvignon Blanc. For main course enjoyed the lobster Mac and cheese on Texas toast with fries. Out of this world good. For dessert had the pecan pie old fashioned, it was phenomenal. Manager and owner drop by to ensure a wonderful experience. This place sets the bar for anywhere!
