New Orleans
Voltaire
Voltaire is a global eatery in the West Bottoms with what might be Kansas City's longest bar, blending Dadaism and Art Deco into a unique atmosphere. Globally inspired cuisine pairs with classic and contemporary cocktails backed by eclectic wines, while vinyl spins every night from the owners' personal collection. Open Wednesday through Sunday with extended hours on weekends, this is a space where food, drink, and art exist in conversation. Run by the chef-owners of Moxi, Voltaire captures something rare: sophistication without stuffiness, creativity without pretense, a place where the decor and the drinks reflect genuine curatorial vision.
