The Chowhouse
The Chowhouse has been a downtown Tulsa staple since 2004. Family-owned and led by fourth generation restaurateurs, the Chowhouse is the place to be for comfort food done right.
Appetizers range from classics, like fried green tomatoes and cheese fries, to downright funky, like ‘pucker chips,’ a.k.a fried pickles, and ‘Great Balls of Fire,’ a.k.a. calf fries with buffalo hot sauce.
Entrees are a dream – try Mom’s Meatloaf, replete with onion rings, mashed potatoes and green beans, or Pop’s Pot Roast with glazed carrots and mashed potatoes. Other must-tries include the fried catfish, chicken and waffles, Southwest burger and PBT sandwich with pimento cheese, jalapeno bacon, fried green tomatoes and lettuce. Cocktails, beer, wine and dessert are also available – and delicious.
L’Arc Pâtisserie
Find modern French desserts in a warm and welcoming environment at OKC’s L’Arc Pâtisserie in the Village. Described as a boutique dessert shop “where tradition meets innovation in the world of French desserts,” L’Arc is unlike anything you’ve seen before.
Some desserts are almost too pretty to eat. Try the ‘Basil Inspiration’ with lime sponge cake, basil ganache and strawberry compote, or the ‘Russian Tale,’ with chocolate sponge cake, dark chocolate mousse, mango cream and raspberry coulis. Other must-tries include the ‘Cloud Petite,’ with cream cheese mousse, mango purée, berry coulis and sablé cookie, as well as the ‘Pistachio Heaven,’ with pistachio ganache cream, cherry compote, pineapple cream and almond sponge cake. You can also enjoy entire (beautifully designed) cakes, plus scones, tartes, coffees and teas.
