• American • Downtown / River Market
Booked 35 times today
Set in Kansas City’s historic City Market, Brown and Loe Restaurant’s inviting atmosphere is a blend of “big city” bistro with the welcoming casual flavor of a neighborhood favorite. Housed in a former Merchant’s Bank constructed in 1920, the restaurant honors the architectural details of the two-story building which features a façade of plate glass and verde marble floors and walls. In the 1940’s, Brown and Loe was originally a produce broker with offices on the second floor of the Merchant’s Bank building. The new Brown and Loe Restaurant celebrates the techniques of curing, pickling and smoking meats, beautifully interpreted into marvelous American comfort cuisine. This is a true local venue, evidenced by the restaurant’s allegiance to the resident farmers and food artisans who supply most of the restaurant’s fresh ingredients. Brown and Loe Restaurant is the second dining concept introduced by Harry Murphy, owner of the City Market’s popular Harry’s Country Club.

• Lebanese • Midtown-Westport
Booked 20 times today
Lebanese-inspired food is food of the heart — meant to be shared, passed, dipped, savored. It’s comfort food, community food, food that tells a story. For Chef Marwan, it was also healing food. He returned to the flavors of his childhood: roasted eggplant, bright herbs, warm spices, hand-rolled grape leaves, slow-cooked stews. Every dish at Nour’s is an offering — not just of flavor, but of memory, resilience, and love.
