Northwest Little Rock Restaurants

Northwest Little Rock is where the newer shopping areas are being built as Little Rock grows. With new shopping comes new eating.

I've put an * by my personal faves, and you can add or read reviews.

Fine Dining

*Trio's Restaurant
11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday, 5:30-9:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday
8201 Cantrell Road, Suite 100
Trio's was once the only place I'd suggest for fine dining. They've got some competition these days but the quality of their food hasn't changed. The best way to describe the menu is southern American twisted with French. Very elegant setting. $$$

An inventive, breakfast and brunch place. It's hidden in a shopping center, next to Lilly's Dim Sum and Then Sum (there's not even a sign for B-side), but worth the search. They even have chicken and waffles. $

*Purple Cow

The Purple Cow is well known for their milkshakes and soda fountain. The food is your average diner menu: burgers, fries, sandwiches and salads, so nothing fancy but it does have a fun, family atmosphere with an old fashioned soda fountain/diner theme. $$.
