Westport Café is an outstanding choice for brunch, offering a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for weekend gatherings or casual dates. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and attentive, creating an easygoing environment that complemented the elegant French bistro vibe. We started our brunch with the apple beignets, and they were absolutely phenomenal. Light, golden, and slightly crisp on the outside, with a warm, tender apple filling, they struck a perfect balance between indulgent and not overly sweet. Paired with a dusting of powdered sugar, these beignets set the tone for a meal full of thoughtful, elevated flavors. For entrées, we ordered the Café Burgers and the Croque Madame. The Café Burgers were delicious—juicy patties cooked to temperature, served on a quality bun with melted cheese. It’s not your standard diner burger—it’s French-inspired comfort food with finesse. The Croque Madame was equally satisfying: thick-cut bread, layers of ham, melted cheese, and a perfectly cooked sunny egg on top. Rich and decadent, but not overly heavy, it was brunch done right. To top things off, we shared the lemon ricotta pancakes. These were a surprise standout—light, fluffy, and bursting with citrus flavor. The ricotta gave them a creamy, tender texture without making them dense. Honestly, we could’ve eaten a full order of these on our own. What sets Westport Café apart is not just the quality of the food, but the attention to detail in every dish and the atmosphere that encourages you to slow down and savor the experience. Service was prompt and friendly throughout, with thoughtful recommendations and just the right amount of attentiveness. In a city full of brunch options, Westport Café stands out for its consistency, creativity, and Parisian charm. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Been here many times, always fantastic. Few places hit all the points where a dinner out is a real experience. And it doesn’t break the bank. Even more…they deliver on a consistent basis and have a full bar. Special kudos to our server David. What a wonderful way to showcase what quality service means. It’s an opportunity to showcase food and provide excellent company to your guests. Hosting and serving can be a difficult job, I absolutely love seeing people taking pride in what they do. This job brings so much joy to guests when done right. I wish more restaurants would follow their commitment to food quality, service and ambiance. It’s like being in NYC, just any night is a truly enjoyable experience.

I had a fantastic time when I came out and had dinner and drinks. The food was very good, my espresso martini was FANTASTIC, and to top it all off, my server was exceptional. John was our server. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and just all around great at his job. He made the night noteworthy.

I had about 35 minutes for grab lunch before I was heading to the airport. I made a quick stop here, and ordered the shakshuka. It was fantastic! little on the spicier side (but you need some pepper flavor with a shakshuka so very appropriate). If im ever in KC again, will definitely try more of what they have to offer.

Cozy little spot in a neat little neighborhood. The ambiance was amazing, our server engaging, polite and attentive and the food was classy. I had scallops with black truffle risotto, but even better was the Chicken Liver Mousse!! This place is the total package for a classy romantic (or business romantic LOL) evening. Can't wait to return.
