Our Story

From Champagne
to Parkville.

Champagne native Guillaume Hanriot and Ingrid Hanriot have spent a generation building one of the most quietly romantic dining rooms in the Kansas City area — an exquisite French experience set in a quaint upstairs space overlooking historic downtown Parkville.

Ingrid's kitchen pairs traditional French technique with progressive seasonal cooking. Tree-lined wooden decks wrap the bistro for outdoor dining, and in the evening the old street-light of Parkville glows across the 50-seat room.

One of the most romantic and charming restaurants in the Kansas City area. The Pan-Roasted Quail and Le Louvre chocolate mousse were flawlessly executed.

Sublime breeze and a tree-house feel. Candles lit, wine sipped, family-run warmth. Sometimes the dining stars align — this was one of those nights.

French food is usually expensive but this place is not pricey at all. Service top-notch, food on point. A must-go even if you have to drive 30 minutes.
