More information on Bambara Restaurant

A favorite lunch destination for the downtown business crowd, Bambara's slick dining room is the ideal pre- or post-theater dinner spot, or an ideal setting for a romantic meal. It's also conducive to people-watching, with windows on the busy (for Salt Lake, that is) intersection of Main and 200 South. Chef Robert Barker, a Texas transplant, brings a host of influences to the table, from Japanese to Italian to French, intermingling them without any one tradition overwhelming the others. The dinner menu changes regularly but always includes a delectable Utah corn bisque and a melt-in-your-mouth filet mignon with a roasted shallot-cabernet sauce. Breakfast is fairly traditional, and lunch brings sandwiches, steaks, and a savory Southern fried chicken salad. Popular three-course lunch and dinner specials go for $10 and $26, respectively. Service is understated and excellent. Full liquor service is available. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
