The 10 Best Restaurants In Little Rock, Arkansas
Little Rock borrows its name from a small rock on the river, used as a landmark for boats. The town, named after this promontory, is also slowly becoming a landmark for food as highly lauded chefs are migrating to Arkansas. A bastion of Southern cuisine where international influences still manage to colour authentic American eats, these are 10 of the best restaurants in Little Rock.

2. Dizzy’s Gypsy Bistro

3. Best Impressions
Best Impressions
Art can come in many forms, ranging from the visual and sensory to the personal. Best Impressions, one of the most renowned casual restaurants in Little Rock, provides a symbiosis of a good number of these different kinds of art. The culinary creativity in its American fusion menu is a delight for the palate. The artistic vision given by the artwork on display just on the other side of the partition, at the Arkansas Arts Center, coincides perfectly with the food and the visual panorama offered by its floor-to-ceiling windows looking onto green open space finish off the tableau with panache. The menu revolves heavily around salads, pastas and classic mains (chicken, burgers, steaks) with a brunch option as well, and some rather seductive desserts, red velvet cake is not always on the menu in sit-down restaurants, but it is at Best Impressions.

4. Big Orange
Restaurant, American
5. Doe’s Eat Place
Doe’s Eat Place
A prime-cut steak cooked to perfection should be enough to elevate Doe’s Eat Place to a position of renown in Little Rock. However, in case there’s any doubt as to the quality of the meat, there is also a very important claim to notoriety. Doe’s was former President Bill Clinton’s staff hangout during the 1992 election campaign, and bears his image on the walls to this day. The famous interview with Clinton, published in Rolling Stone magazine, was carried out over a steak at Doe’s, with Clinton dressed down in khaki and giving a brief low-down on the history of Doe’s before the difficult questions ensued. Tamales are also a house speciality, and come with one of three formulae, sauce, sauce and fries, or sauce, fries and salad. A very important fact to remember is that Doe’s classes itself as ‘no-frills’ and it’s no less delicious and culturally significant for this fact.
