An accidental turn while visiting Butler Univ. led us to this wonderful indoor/outdoor bistro. While only open for breakfast and lunch, it was very enjoyable. My wife enjoyed a grilled ham & Brie sandwich. I enjoyed the chilled purée pea soup and a tuna salad sandwich. While it might not sound gourmet, both were quite spectacular. The service was very...

Stopped in for lunch. The waitress took a little bit to bring water, Then she came back to take the drink order. It took forever to get the drinks. I would understand if they were busy but they weren't, it was 1:30 in the afternoon. Once we finally were able to order a simple sandwhich, that took what seemed like... More

For us, this place was just ok. Wouldn't go out of our way to visit again. Our server seemed tired and couldn't muster a smile. The omelette and BLT veggie wrap were nothing to write home about and the bacon was disappointing. We were in town from Cincinnati and like to try regional restaurants but should have gone with First... More

The food is always consistent at Patachou and the cinnamon sugar toast on sourdough is a must have! I meet friends at this location once a month for breakfast. It is a small, cozy location, and well worth the wait if full.

If you come at the busiest times for this restaurant, you'll be hard-pressed to find a seat for any group larger than two. Try to come during earlier breakfast hours or brunch. The self-serve coffee bar is very nice and lets you mingle with other customers. I highly recommend the open-faced egg sandwiches....they are all amazing!

Convenient, inexpensive, good food, smiling service, great coffee - Café Patachou is the absolute best place for breakfast in Indianapolis. Wide variety of items available - bacon crisp, eggs done perfectly, superb breads - overall a real winner!

This restaurant has the best salads I have ever had. It is also pretty inexpensive for the quality of food that you get.

I can understand why this Cafe is so highly rated. Featured is an extensive breakfast menu highlighted by traditional favorites as well as so local offerings. If you can't find anything you like, then you just plain don't like breakfast! You may have to wait a bit to be seated, but not to worry, it won't take long. Make it... More

The food at Cafe Patachou is fresh and delicious. However, I don't like the self serve coffee idea. I love coffee and during a business meeting it is annoying to have to get up all the time for more. My omelet was good with avocado! yum. Toast and fruit were perfect.
