Cafe Levain executive chef Adam Vickerman loads his menus with seasonal vegetables and fruits.
From the restaurant's website:
"Home is where the heart is, and for [executive chef] Adam [Vickerman], Café Levain is home. Adam first started at Levain under Chef Steven Brown in the fall of 2004, while it was still Restaurant Levain. At age 18, he worked as a prep cook and worked his way through the entire hot line. Although he departed in the fall of 2006, Adam would never forget the first kitchen he worked in. ... Restaurant Levain was reincarnated as Café Levain in 2007, with Adam on part-time helping his good friend and Chef Eric Sturtz. ... The urge to return to Café Levain was always there – the timing, however, was never right – until March 2011. Now, Adam is back, cooking on the line nightly and running this French bistro with his lovely crew of misfits. Adam is finally, once again, at home."
Beer and wine available. Serving dinner Tue–Sun. Closed Mon.
"... if you’re in the mood for inexpensive comfort foods cooked with skill and grace and served with good wine, Café Levain is the safest bet in town."
