Topeka Restaurants and Dining

(Topeka, Kansas - KS, USA)

The capital of Kansas comes with a very decent choice of restaurants and fast-food chain eateries, found in so many of America's cities.

Those dining out in Topeka will find that the local eateries are grouped around the principal tourist attractions and along the main thoroughfares, such as Interstate I-470 and Southwest Wannamaker Road, on the western side of the city.

It is worth noting that the shopping centers within Topeka generally feature a selection of small restaurants and cafes. This is particularly so at the West Ridge Mall on Southwest Wannamaker Road, where a food court area is located on the upper floor and is home to eateries such as Chick-fil-A, Express Japan, Kwan Wah, Sbarro, Subway and Taco Bell.

Where to Eat

For those catching a game of college football at the Yager Stadium, the Stouffer Commons Food Court is on hand to satisfy your hunger pangs. If you are sightseeing in Topeka city center, then you will be pleased to know that plenty of restaurants and dining venues are within a stone's throw of the Kansas State Capitol Building. Close by and recommended is the Break Room Restaurant, where themed cabaret shows are staged at its Dinner Theater.

Many of the restaurants in Topeka are extremely popular and feature solid reviews, which means that you may well need to book a dining table beforehand. Fans of oriental food will no doubt enjoy a meal at Tuptim Thai on South Kansas Avenue.

For something altogether more American in style in Topeka, the Rowhouse Restaurant on Van Buren Street is a good place to celebrate a special occasion. The Rowhouse makes the most of seasonal produce and serves up huge portions, so you can be sure that you won't go hungry here.

Fine dining with a classical French flair is on the menu at Topeka's renowned Chez Yasu French Restaurant on Southwest 17th Street. Diners can sample sumptuous dishes such as crab cakes, escargots and mushrooms, roasted duck, beef fillet with red wine sauce, rack of lamb and poached salmon.

Chunky gourmet burgers and crunchy fries are the order of the day at the Burger Stand Restaurant on Southwest Lane, while if Italian dining is more your preference, then be sure to grab yourself a table at Via's Pizzeria on the Southwest Gage Boulevard, at the Gate Shopping Center.
