Dining Downtown

The Bijou Grille, located in the heart of the district, is perfect for delicious salads and gourmet entrees. Stop in to Cabaret for American and Italian classics before a show, or visit the recently opened Encore next door, specializing in sushi, steaks and seafood in a laid back atmosphere.
For fine dining, visit The Buffalo Chophouse, Bacchus, or Duo Restaurant. Famous for its steaks, the Buffalo Chophouse specializes in fine dining a la carte. With an extensive selection of wine and cheeses, Bacchus creates the perfect atmosphere for just appetizers or a five-course meal. With its sleek design and chic menu, Duo offers a modern edge on the traditional gourmet dinner, with a lively covered outdoor patio for dining with a twist in the winter months.
And for a bit of ethnic flair, visit Papaya Restaurant, a contemporary Pan-Asian dining experience with a menu consisting of everything from pan seared ahi tuna to pineapple curry porkchop. The recently opened SeaBar City provides plenty of exotic gourmet sushi rolls, from crab mango to California shrimp and even a Beef on Weck roll option!
For an after dinner drink or quick meal before a show, head to The Chocolate Bar. With small bites and big desserts, let chocolate compliment your night. Featuring lighter fare with sandwiches, soups and salads, the Chocolate Bar’s martini and dessert menu will give you more choices that will make you come back for more. Take some chocolate home with their homemade desserts and treats available for sale at the restaurant.
Buffalo’s Theatre and Entertainment District offers great shows and great food. With more than a dozen restaurants all within walking distance of Buffalo’s playhouses, compliment your night out with an award-winning dinner.
