Dining Out in Eureka Springs

Friday, February 17th, 2012

If you’re like us, you enjoy trying new restaurants when you travel. If you are a regular guest at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast, you probably look forward to visiting your favorite Eureka Springs restaurant while you’re here; we certainly have favorite eateries in every town we frequent. The perennial question for us when we travel to a familiar place is, “Should we try a new restaurant, or stick with what we know is good?”

Life is full of risks, some richly rewarded, some not.

As innkeepers, we are often asked for Eureka Springs restaurant recommendations. See below for our top picks and our guests favorites.

The Pied Piper Pub – an Irish Pub with great food

Autumn Breeze – a great menu and great food

Casa Colina – gourmet Mexican

Ermilio’s – Italian family dining

The Rockin’ Pig Saloon – great Bar-B-Que,  hamburgers & brick oven pizza

Garden Bistro — eclectic dining with a flair

The Pied Piper Pub is just off the bottom of this map, where S. Main Street joins Armstrong Street. Autumn Breeze is a few minutes south of the center of town, Casa Colina is about 1/4 mile below the bottom of this map on Main Street. The Rockin’ Pig Saloon east the historic area on Highway 62E. Ermilio’s is off the left edge of the map; and the Garden Bistro is the little red dot on the upper right of the map above.

The breakfasts at Arsenic and Old Lace will excite your taste buds and olfactory nerves and keep you well fueled for your day or adventure and discovery.

Eureka Springs Restaurants are Open

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

For a small town, Eureka Springs has a startling number of restaurants. Even more surprising is the diversity of the fare. Guests of our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast have returned from dinner raving about Indian, Mexican, Italian, and down-home Southern food. Some restaurants close during the winter each year – sad for those of us who live here, but cause for celebration when they reopen in the spring.

Eureka Springs restaurants are now open.

So if you are thinking of eating your way through a Eureka Springs getaway, the time is now.

Read on for a list of some of our favorite Eureka Springs restaurants:

  • Autumn Breeze: great steaks and seafood, and a very respectable selection of wines by the glass.
  • Bubba’s Barbecue: the place to go when you crave pulled pork.
  • Casa Colina: fresh and creative is the best way to describe the food. Try the Tequila Lime Fajita Salad and anything with pork (smoked in-house).
  • DeVito’s: Frommer’s calls it “phenomenal”. Who are we to argue?
  • Ermilio’s: a comfortable place to enjoy fresh Italian food.
  • Garden Bistro: always fresh, always gourmet. Great bread.
  • Gaskins Cabin: superb steak and seafood are served in this historic 1864 log cabin. People have been gathering here for food, drink, and good company for more than 150 years.
  • The Oasis: cozy, artsy, fresh, tasty… these are a few of the words that describe the Oasis. Mexican fare with fresh, homemade salsa and creative twists on old favorites.
  • Mud Street Cafe: a good lunch spot, if you have room after the breakfast we feed you here at our Eureka Springs Lodging. It’s tiny, but the croissant sandwiches are tasty.
  • New Delhi Cafe: enjoy a home style all-you-can-eat buffet Friday through Sunday. Sip creamy chai and dip Samosas in chutney. Heaven.

Of course, we’ll take care of your morning meal here at our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast; and you’re always welcome to help yourself to the homemade cookies, brownies, and other goodies throughout the day. Warning, they can become addictive!

Dining Out in Eureka Springs

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

One of the top things to do when traveling is dining out, and it is one of our favorite things at Arsenic & Old Lace as well!  Eureka Springs is home to many terrific restaurants, but our favorite and that of many locals is Café Soleil.  It is casual and elegant at the same time and offers a fusion of International and contemporary American cuisine.  You can order anything and thoroughly enjoy it!   

One of my personal favorites is Beef Blue.  Beef Blue is a beef flank steak marinated with the juice of three citruses and then grilled to perfection.  The steak is presented on a bed of field greens and then generously topped with their homemade blue cheese dressing.  Lovely!  Of course, the next thing on my must have list is their homemade hand cut French fries.  What can I say? 

If you are not a beef eater, another recommendation is their grilled salmon salad.  The salmon actually is cut into the shape of a salmon resting atop of a bed of fresh lettuce and caramelized onions.  Absolutely fantastic!  Or try the old Chicago Sandwich which features grilled ham with slaw, Swiss cheese, and a spicy remoulade sauce on a garlic toasted bun.  

Dining in Eureka Springs is sure to tempt your taste buds!
