300 East

300 East is the family owned and operated restaurant in a converted house on East Boulevard that has anchored Dilworth for 40 years. It is known first for its French onion soup and second for a weekend brunch that has become a neighborhood ritual.

The house gives it porches, small rooms and the kind of settled feeling that newer restaurants cannot buy. It is a Dilworth institution in the truest sense: the place regulars have been going since before the neighborhood was expensive.
