View Full Version : Cafe de L'asie
Was formerly in The Collective and now taking over the old Cafe 7 space (was originally Revolve Pizza) in the Century Century on Robinson across from the Colcord.
Will have an expanded menu of what they call 'Pan Asian' cuisine.
Opens Jan. 6th.

Breakfast and lunch.
Doubt it will be open on weekends.

Don't think Cafe 7 was open nights or weekend either.
CBD is very tough other than breakfast and lunch.
shawnw 12-28-2020, 01:12 PM Agree it was not. I would have been a regular if so. Since they closed at 2, I only got to visit in special circumstances. Places like Thai Kitchen and Hobbies and Manhattan are doing it, so it's doable......
onthestrip 12-28-2020, 01:57 PM Good for them, they were always my first choice the few times i've eaten at the Collective. Certainly would be great to still have it as a dinner option but I understand that location isnt a great dining spot outside of normal business hours.

New menu.
From the bonjour menu, I think I only see the BELT. Their brunch menu when at the collective, which was only served on sundays, seem to be permanent staples. New section I've noticed was the pasta.
PaddyShack 12-29-2020, 12:41 PM I wish for more dinner options in the CBD, as we often park in the CBD and walk to the parks. We usually will eat before getting to DT because we don't want to go all the way over to Bricktown for food just to walk back to the parks, especially on cold winter nights.

There is Social Capital, of course and Spark should open in Scissortail Park this spring.
You will also have all the places in the Omni, with Bob's, 405 Taproom, the coffee place and Double Double walk-up window.
Kitchen No. 324 is open for dinner and is just a great place with great food. Flint is open too, along with Mahogany.
Very close to the Myriad Gardens is the Lazy Donkey on Reno.

I forgot Kitchen 324 has dinner now, and I wasn't aware of Lazy Donkey.
We like Flint and Mahogany a lot, usually we want something more casual like Social Capital and maybe something more quick for when we have our son with us.
shawnw 12-29-2020, 01:20 PM Lazy Donkey is GREAT. Go there just about every week (for to-go of late)

Don’t forget about Manhattan which I absolutely love and need to support more since I’ll be in town until the summer I’m going to start going there more. Great place, amazing atmosphere, and delicious food.

Yes! I love the Manhattan as well. Great spot.

I haven’t yet been to many of the other places you mentioned in your post but Manhattan has a really great feel and environment like no other place I’ve been to in OKC other than the O Bar.
SEMIweather 12-29-2020, 09:07 PM Would also expect that the rotation of food trucks on the east side of Scissortail will be back once the weather starts to consistently warm up in a few months as the Robinson resurfacing project should be done by then.

Good point, plus they have them quite often at the Myriad Gardens as well.
HOT ROD 01-08-2021, 01:06 AM hopefully also once more residences and hotels open in the CBD (First National and the 4th and Broadway - here's looking at you!!!) - more restaurants will offer dinner in the cbd and more storefronts will open.There needs to be a critical mass for it to work OR there needs to be marketing of some sort.
Downtown Seattle used to have commercials on TV when I first moved here in the early-to-mid 1990s. it was not just one restaurant but the association promoting downtown as a destination to dine, shop, and play. I've offered this recommendation to Downtown OKC Inc - I wish they'd run with it and market the CBD as a destination (and not JUST Bricktown). ...
BridgeBurner 01-12-2021, 01:12 PM Went today, it was eh- could have used maybe x3-5 that amount of meat on the bulgogi bowl as it was primarily just a big bowl of white rice with maybe 2oz of crumbled bulgogi beef on top.
Had the steam bun combo at their Collective location and they were good.
king183 01-12-2021, 01:22 PM I went yesterday and I thought it was good, but agree with BridgeBurner. My wife got a bowl and it was 90% white rice. I was very surprised by that.
They are now open Saturdays.
Hours M-Sa 8 to 2:30PM.
DoctorTaco 01-22-2021, 11:20 AM I had the two bun combo with fries. It was plenty of food for ~$8. And more importantly it was really good! Like possibly the best french fries I've had in years.

Their togarashi fries are pretty sweet. Heads up for bonjour people
The BELT, while still good, has changed. It is priced cheaper, the over medium egg is now poached,and you get one piece of french toast instead of two. Hoping to convince them to bring back the breakfast reuben.
OkiePoke 01-23-2021, 12:00 PM I miss Bonjour's home fries and homemade ketchup. One of my favorite things was the breakfast rueben.
TheTravellers 01-23-2021, 12:50 PM Sucks that they only serve breakfast until 11 AM, takes our odds of going there again way down.

Homefries are still there! Homemade ketchup not so much. I was talking to Vuong and I thought the ketchup was a spicy ketchup, but it turns out the homefries are seasoned very well.
