Brave New Restaurant
Arkansas
Brave New Restaurant overlooks the Arkansas River in Little Rock, with a riverfront setting that gives the dining room and outdoor balcony their character. Peter Brave’s contemporary American cooking uses fresh ingredients, and the menu changes with the kitchen’s choices and the season. Seafood has a strong presence. Dinner dishes have included scallops broiled in butter with beurre blanc and tuna in a panko and sesame crust finished with aged balsamic. Veal with king trumpet mushroom Marsala sauce and a combination of duck breast and smoked duck sausage show the same attention to meat dishes. Lunch offers another way to visit, with the river remaining part of the experience throughout the meal.
