Almost hidden in a bustling suburban shopping center is a gem of a French restaurant, Cafe Provence presents innovative French Provencal cuisine in a cozy, casually upscale dining room. With daily quiche specials, root vegetable salads, and a renowned pan-seared sea bass, this quaint nosh spot is a hit with the ladies-who-lunch crowd; while dimmed lighting, intimate tables, and classics like escargots and frog legs make Cafe Provence ideal for an evening experience.

Cafe Provence is the embodiment of a neighborhood restaurant that combines the luxury of quality cuisine with the comfort of a friendly atmosphere.

The owner, Patrick Quillec, asked his sister Nadine Millier to manage Cafe Provence. A sweet woman with a lilting French accent, Nadine not only greets each and every patron, but ensures that each dish arrives at the table to the guests' liking. The level of attentiveness and dedication is matched by young chef de cuisine Thierry Le Queau's driven passion for progressive French cuisine, evidenced most in his complex dishes and artistic presentations. The result is a worldly dining experience unparalleled in Kansas City.
