Places to eat in Westport, MO, should be categorized by what mood you’re in, so we’ve picked a few of area’s most popular haunts and the occasions that might inspire you to visit them.
If you’re in the mood for a boozy brunch:
The nightlife is infamous, but the midmorning scene at the Westport, Kansas City, restaurants is not to be ignored either. Why? One word, friends: brunch.
Beer Kitchen
Ever heard of a Dutch baby? It’s a hot item on Beer Kitchen’s brunch menu, described as their “savory signature baked pancake, served with brunch potatoes.” Versions include Applewood Bacon, Black Forest or the Bavarian Apple, and they’re all worth trying—preferably with a daytime cocktail. If, however, that’s not what you’re in the mood for, Beer Kitchen’s brunch menu covers all of its bases, from “drunken doughnuts” to burgers to cheese fries.
Ça Va
Who needs a special occasion to pop champagne? A trip to Ça Va is reason enough to celebrate, and as their goal is to bring champagne to the masses, you can bet there will be bubbly aplenty. If you really feel like treating yourself, skip a main course and pair your drink with dessert.
If you’ve got time for a long lunch:
The beauty of Westport KC restaurants can’t be taken in quickly. You’ll need to allow at least an hour or two to properly enjoy the food, the booze, and the atmosphere.
Port Fonda
When margaritas are involved, any lunchtime experience is bound to be a good one. Port Fonda, however, doesn’t require tequila to be a phenomenal experience (although we do, of course, recommend that you try their margs). Whether you land on tacos, enchiladas, or one of the house specialties, you really can’t go wrong.
Harry’s Bar and Tables
Whether the weather is nice enough to enjoy the patio or not, Harry’s is a local favorite of the restaurants in Westport, MO, for a reason. Between the tile floors and wood accents, the bar’s classic décor is reason enough to sit and relax for a while. The selection of whiskey and scotch doesn’t hurt, either.
If you’re looking for a place to spend an entire day:
The beauty of these restaurants in Westport, MO, is that you can come for a boozy brunch and stay until the wee hours. There’s food, there’s games, there’s alcohol — what more could you need?
Char Bar
It’s hard to rise to the top of the Kansas City barbecue scene, but that’s exactly what Char Bar has done. With its signature smoked meats (order the naked burnt ends) and its outdoor bar and adult playground of sorts, you’ll never feel the need to move the party elsewhere.
