About Us

For more than 20 years, the Quillec family has owned and operated Café Provence, located in Prairie Village, Kansas.

​Even though we do have white table cloths, we don’t like to think of restaurant as “fancy.” We work with local farmers, butchers, and artisanal food purveyors to create distinct, delicious, comforting food that combines the fantastic culinary resources of the Midwest with classic French tradition. Just as important, our award-winning service staff always strives to provide you with a remarkable, unpretentious dining experience whatever the occasion.

You can also enjoy many of our soups, stews, sauces, desserts, and more to-go from our French Market, just around the corner in the Shops of Prairie Village.
