Brave New Restaurant

Good luck finding this place, hidden in an office building in the Riverdale area. Once you get there, though, you'll be in one of the top handful of restaurants in town, where chef Peter Brave offers a menu of fresh ingredients in a setting overlooking the Arkansas River.

Eat

Buffalo Grill

Reliably good burgers, fries, nachos, and all-American favorites (including apple pie) can be found in this longtime Riverdale neighborhood restaurant.

Sun-Thu 11AM-9PM; Fri Sat 11AM-10PM

Butcher Shop Steak House

Casual, welcoming atmosphere for families and business meetings. USDA choice and prime steaks, hand cut on premises. Also have fish, pastas, chicken and more.

Eat

Ciao Baci

Very good appetizers and entrees, extensive wine list, and open very late. A good place for dinner or for just hanging out with appetizers and wine. A little expensive, but good prices for the quality.

Eat

Forbidden Garden

Is the second generation of the longtime Forbidden City Chinese restaurant once part of midtown's Park Plaza Mall.

Eat

Izzy's Famous Food Place

Southern hand-rolled hot tamales, brick-oven pizzas, 14 freshly made salads, hand-prepared burgers. Group menu is available, as well as separate checks for groups.

Eat

Loca Luna

Eclectic food: a mix of southern, Southwestern, with maybe a touch of Italian and Mexican. (Example: barbecue chicken pizza with cranberry tequila sauce.) Good nightly specials, or try the old faithful pot roast. Great meatloaf (!) at lunch. Reasonably priced wine. Outside seating.

Eat

Mt. Fuji

Enjoy the best cuisine from Japan in a fine setting. Also has a gift shop that sells Japanese goods.

Pizza D'Action

A smoky hangout for the young and hip crowd at Stifft Station on Markham Street. (They get around the no-smoking law by declaring themselves a bar and barring the under-21s.)

Eat

Purple Cow II

Two locations offer the same menu - with choices for all family members. The restaurants are the combination of a 1950s diner, a soda fountain, and a burger joint, featuring hand-dipped shakes and malts and soda fountain treats; great burgers and a variety of sandwiches, homemade soups and chili; and a popular selection of entree salads; and a daily Purple platter special; on week-ends, brunch items. A smoke-free restaurant.

Eat

Sonny Williams' Steak Room

Boasts an excellent wine list, a piano bar, and some of the best steaks and seafood in Little Rock.

Eat

Star of India

Lots of good Indian food for the money, from a long menu of traditional Indian dishes. Good service, and owner Sami goes out of his way to please customers. Indian beer.

The Faded Rose

A Riverdale mainstay since 1981, offering authentic tastes of New Orleans in a menu including poboys, seafood, fish, steaks, and desserts. Full Bar, extensive wine list, handicapped accessible.

Eat

The Oyster Bar

A longtime neighborhood favorite in Stifft Station-Hillcrest with shrimp, oysters, po-boys, and draft Bass and Guinness. A contender for best jukebox in town.

Eat

The Pantry

Fans of Czech, German, Austrian and other central European fare have made this warm west Little Rock restaurant a favorite since 2009. Owner Tomas Bohm has since branched out with a second location in the city's Hillcrest neighborhood, along with the deli and casual eatery District Fare.

Eat

Trio's

Fine food and fine service in an upscale mini-mall on Cantrell Road. On nearly all locals' lists of LR favorites. Outside seating.

Eat

Vino's

Billed as Little Rock's original brewpub and serves handcrafted ales, pizza, calzones, and is the place in Arkansas to find premier alternative entertainment, but it also makes for a fine restaurant. The place for LR's tattoo and piercing crowd, but also friendly to older folks.

There are several locations of this popular locally based chain, including Hillcrest, the Heights, and Rodney Parham Road.
