Down a gravel road, about a mile into Middle of Nowhere, Arkansas is the best gourmet bistro in the state. Dannie’s Cafe is definitely worth the drive. Let’s take a scroll through their mouthwatering menu as we head to this out-of-the-way eatery.

Please note, Dannie’s Café has permanently closed.

Arkansas backroads are known for holding hidden treasures but typically waterfalls and springs come to mind. County Road 54 happens to lead to the best gourmet bistro around.

If it didn't have the signs, you wouldn't guess this antique barn houses the most delectable dishes.
Facebook/Dannie's Cafe
The renovated barn is over 100 years old. The cafe is part of the owner's family farm. Flora Lombardo had the barn restored and named it after her brother Dannie.
You'll instantly feel at home in the intimate rustic setting.

Walk-ins are welcome but it wouldn't hurt to make reservations since seating is limited.
Sipping on wine and drinking in the back patio view is an option, too.

The whole area is simply gorgeous.
