    We had the most wonderful meal here! - the servers were friendly, knowledgeable, and quick! - they had a variety of options for vegans and vegetarians, as well as omnivores - we met one of the chefs, he was so sweet and talked to us about his dishes! - the “chicken” fried portobello mushroom with fries sounds so simple, but it was AMAZING. Highly recommend to anyone that eats there. - the Indian taco was unique and delicious! Never had anything like it before. - The vegan apple crumble cheesecake was smooth, creamy and perfectly sweet - The drinks were great, we had the Paloma - great for tequila lovers, the hurricane - strong but smooth, and the sangria- a little too much ice but a perfect balance of sweetness and spice - and they are pet friendly! If it hadn’t been 10 F outside we would have brought our dog and ordered her one of their dog meals!

    Super friendly staff. Love that they have a dedicated veg section of the menu - great to see for a vegan traveling through this just of the world's! Love that they have gender neutral washrooms with change tables. I had the vegan meatloaf. It could have used a bit more flavour, and it was filling and comforting.

    This is one of my faves. Always noteworthy. Freakin fantastic everything! The risotto is an event of its own and however you eat, they can accommodate. Vegan and vegetarian options. The artwork is fun and the service is always on point. The non alcohol drinks are great. I hear the leaded drinks are just as delicious. Make reservations. It's busy and there's lots around to do. If you can't get in, go to The Other Room, next door. They'll serve the same menu. I love love the salmon. Enjoy♡

    We went here for a few drinks and were met by a friendly bar tender, very clean restaurant and amazing food! We had a great time here and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. It also has a lot of vegan options that were very tasty to someone who isn't a vegan.

    We went to their bar next door. We ordered appetizers and drinks. They were very good and deserve four stars. However when the entree's arrived. They only had half of the order . The waitress did not come back to check on our table. Until my son and his wife had already eaten their food. They apparently had some type of a problem in their kitchen. I spoke to their manager. They apparently forgot my part of the order. Service one star. My son and his wife told me it was very good. The manager did try and give me the laterrrrr arrived food. I told her no.

    Another Date Night In OKC'S Paseo District. Made Reservations - Arrived 10 Mins Early and was seated right away! We started off the night w Drinks An Old Fashioned & A Seasonal Drink. Both were well mixed! We started w The Fried Goat Cheese w Honey and Seared Ahi Tuna. Both are highly recommended. We decided to order from the Vegan/Vegetarian menu tonight! We had the Creamy Artichoke Raviolis & Rainbow Pad Thai! The food was excellent- servers are excellent. Atmosphere was fun and upbeat. Definitely come out for your next Date Night ❤️

    My SO and I went on Sunday 04/02/23 at opening without reservation. We were seated promptly. This was my third time here (first time in years) and his first visit. We ordered Steak & Eggs, Bananas Foster Waffles, Winter Sangria, Bloody Miguel, and a side of bacon for a total of $65.16 + tip. Our server was friendly. He was kind enough to warn me about the smokey flavor of the Bloody Miguel, which I chose to order anyway. We choose to eat family style so we could enjoy the options. Both dishes were delicious. The Steak was perfect, but I couldn't get enough of the jalapeño cheddar grits. The waffles were amazing and I'm quite confident they are made out of Nilla Wafers. It would have been too sweet for one person, so I am glad we shared. I would order either dishes again and I look forward to trying another signature cocktail at our next visit. If it weren't for the wind, I would have loved to sit on their European-style patio.

    My son and daughter-in-law took my wife and me to Picasso Cafe for brunch on a Saturday. Be sure to reserve a table, Picasso often has a line waiting for the doors to open at 11:00am. We were quickly seated, and service began just as quickly. Our waiter was friendly, humorous, and efficient. The atmosphere is perfect, feeling like a comfortable, down to earth, local kitchen. The food was the best I've experienced at any brunch. I highly recommend Picasso Cafe for brunch.

    My friends & I had the best time!!! The atmosphere is in point. The food...ah...the food, was SO delicious...even the appetizers could've been a meal on their own. I will say, above all, the blackened shrimp risotto is my jam!!! The risotto was cooked to perfection. So creamy & cheese-y. I can't wait to come back!

    The only thing stopping me from giving a 5 star rating was that we unfortunately made our first visit on a Monday morning, when their pastry chef had been off work. The environment was definitely different than places we've frequented in the past, but it offers a comfortable and relaxed setting for a good meal. I was more than pleased with their shrimp risotto, and my family members were happy with their meals. I was unable to try their fried goat cheese appetizer, but they sure did look good. Our waitress made sure to tell us their french fries were fried in a shared fryer. I appreciated her having a little knowledge on a gluten free diet, up until she tried to recommend a desert that was not gluten free, only vegan. She was quick to apologize after we'd addressed our concerns. So, other than a missed opportunity for dessert, we were happy with our first trip here. We will probably be back. *UPDATE* Well, we made it back for lunch again, and I was just as pleased as the first time. I had the pan seared airline chicken this time around, and while the chicken itself was bland, the bleu cheese sauce it was served with was delicious. Same as the first time, the risotto was amazing. I was fortunate enough this time around to try their gluten free buzz bomb. It was magnificent! Although very rich, I had no complaints.

    Went there for a work lunch and it was fantastic. I’d recommend the shrimp and risotto and try the fried goat cheese. You won’t be disappointed. I unfortunately didn’t take any food pics but the front area I was able to snap.

    The OKC dining scene continues to keep me fascinated. The only problem is that once I find a place I love, it tends to knock me out of the marketplace looking for others. Picasso Cafe, located in the trendy Paseo Arts District, is that place. As you might expect in a bohemian neighborhood, the menu leans heavily toward eclectic and a love-all-serve-all vibe. Since I am often traveling solo, I head straight to the bar, where I get quick service. Otherwise, on weekend nights, a table wait can run longish. I went with the Rainbow Pad Thai, one from among 10 vegetarian and vegan options. There are numerous other choices as well for the carnivores among us. A nice selection of local craft beers complements meals, as well as a full bar. 

As for my Pad Thai, I rate it a “1” on the heat scale, meaning it got my sinuses into action. It could have been hotter for my taste, but maybe I have just grown accustomed to eyes watering, sweating, and even an occasional cough when I eat Thai. But nothing against this fine bowl of goodness! It was delicious, and my entire experience was spot on.

    A perfect little slice of Peseo district charm. The menu is exciting, inclusive, and contains seasonal dishes. Along with creative appetizers and desserts that will make you second guess your "no dessert" rule. Whether you're an OKC local looking for a good eat or just traveling through and wanting to check out Oklahoma's little art haven, this place is a must!

  • 5/5 Stephen B. 5 months ago on Google
    I stopped in for a quick drink and a bite to eat. I had the lobster bisque soup. It was very tasty and delicious. The servers were very polite and attentive.Ashley stopped bye to check on me and make sure I was okay. She was very nice and courteous. The restaurant was very clean and everybody seemed pleasant. I had a wonderful time here and I recommend anyone stopping by to check this place out.

    Wow! This place is a dine-in experience! Very nice establishment, great atmosphere. Great pricing. Lots of vegan choices. Located in the Art District on Paseo. Picasso Cafe was very delightful, even in sending me a piece of apple crumble cheesecake to take home. Definitely will return! PS the vegan sliders are awesome and the fact that you can get french fries that haven't been contaminated is even more amazing! Thank you so much

  • 5/5 Berto B. 7 months ago on Google
    As someone who has been around the Paseo District for a long time, Picasso Cafe has always been a solid place to rely on. Always a great atmosphere and the food is delicious. There is something for everyone on this menu. Vegan? This is one of the tastiest places for our veggie eaters. The bar is one of the best spots for a single diner to find a friend. The cocktails always hit the spot. My favorite thing there that makes me think of my childhood is the Jalapeño Hushpuppies. They come with yummy soft butter and they don’t burn your mouth. This is one of the best spots in OKC! Enjoy!

  • 5/5 Jeremiah C. 8 months ago on Google
    Everything here is good. This is one of our favorite spots for brunch. The spicy chicken and waffles are my favorite. My wife loves the biscuit debris. The is a great spot to meet up with your vegan friends too, as there are also several vegan friendly items on the menu.

  • 5/5 Brittany B. 8 months ago on Google
    This restaurant was AMAZING!!! The food and drinks were some of the best I’ve had in a long time. Everything tasted so fresh and was just so good. It’s been a few days since my meal and drinks here and I’m still thinking about them!!! 10/10 recommend; you will not be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Nick D. 2 years ago on Google
    Easily my favorite restaurant in OKC! Great drinks, great brunch and dinner, awesome atmosphere. Our server James was terrific. We really want to try the other restaurants nearby but we always end up coming back here instead:)

  • 5/5 Hot C. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was to die for. We got the gyoza, artichoke ravioli and country fried portobello. Also a few drinks. Delicious little queer space that just feels wonderful to be at. Our waitress was a dime. This isn’t fast food or a mediocre diner so don’t expect a budget meal, you pay for what you’re getting which is 10/10 all around. will be back

  • 5/5 Angel M. 2 years ago on Google
    WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! Is that enough said? LOL. Had an absolute amazing dinner here! Service was excellent! Recommend making reservations. First off, location is great. What they did with the space is great. Great flow in the restaurant. Our server was brilliant! Seriously. I can’t remember his name but he was 38, had an amazing attitude, charisma, was knowledgeable on the menu, attentive, and hilarious. I’ll stop before I right the review based on him lol! He made our dinner 10x better. We’d come back for his service alone. The food was just as amazing! Came out quick, very colorful and fulfilling. So many great flavors that are enjoyable individually and all together. They were so kind as to split our entree for us too. Very thoughtful! Excited to come again, and again, and again. So many different things we wanted to try, just didn’t have the space for it LOL! Highly recommend checking out their seasonal items!! Thank you Picasso Cafe!

    I’ll always love this spot. Great restaurant to visit if your party includes vegans and omnivores. They put a lot of effort and emphasis on veg friendly dishes. I couldn’t resist the appetizer list. The vegan empanadas were perfect and the nachos served as my main course. Multiple vegan dessert options too. I also had a “friends of Dorothy #2” off the pride drink menu and it was one of the best cocktails I’ve ever ordered.

  • 5/5 Emilie G. 10 months ago on Google
    Came for my birthday. They were able to take a larger reservation over the phone (we had 10, but the table could have seated 12). The whole place is pretty small but they also have outside dining space. They even have a doggie menu (order a meal for your pup!). Extensive drink, dessert & coffee menu! 10 out of 10 (people) loved their meals (they were delicious)! I had the bacon-wrapped meatloaf and it was phenomenal! The menu included Gluten Free, Nut & other markers to facilitate selection if you have an allergy. It’s a great little place, but I recommend you make a reservation if you have time constraints!

  • 5/5 Benna A. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a wonderful experience here with my husband, mother-in-law, and family friend. The menu is well curated with excellent vegan options. Vegans, in particular, are constantly looking for a restaurant that has great choices for groups that have mixed dietary needs (from staunch meat eaters to the other end of the spectrum). This one surpasses expectations. The drinks were particularly well made and love and care was evident in each plate. The service is what made what placed it in the exceptional category for me. The team at Picasso cafe runs seamlessly and rivals any fine dining experience I've ever had. I'm disappointed that in my many trip to OKC this was the first time I had the pleasure of dining here. We will definitely return the next time we are in US.

    If you looking for vegan or vegetarian food. This is the place. Great selection. And every month they change the menu slightly. So it always fresh. They even have a small section for pet foods your dog or other can enjoy. Great place, good environment. Never had a bad experience here.

  • 5/5 Shara 1 year ago on Google
    We were I town visiting from Texas, this place was friendly and delicious. Picasso Cafe came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The service was great and the food tasty 😋 the location is super cute and we would return if ever in OKC again. We ordered a Cuban with fries and a burger, the menu was creative, they had seasonal drinks! I ordered a Paloma. We had the beignets for dessert!

  • 5/5 Sarah M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice casual setting featuring local art and delicious food. They had a vegan/vegetarian section of the menu and lots of delicious options. The food was great, will definitely be back

  • 5/5 Melinda B. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to this place with the information it was vegetarian friendly! It absolutely was the best food.. and it’s vegan friendly. Lots of menu choices to choose from and their dessert menu was also vegan friendly. The staff was very nice and the atmosphere was great. During the warmer months, sitting out in the patio with your four legged friend is perfect (they even have a small menu for your doggie!) Definitely worth a return visit.

  • 5/5 M M. 1 year ago on Google
    ❤ this cafe!! The food is great and cooked exactly how you request it. Definitely stop in during October for the Halloween portion of the menu. 9-10 Never Sleep Again..I would recommend this dish hands down was great. Our server James was phenomenal and funny. We had a great lunch and a fun time. If your in OKC, stop in the Paseo District and show some love to Picasso Cafe!

  • 5/5 Lara M. 2 years ago on Google
    I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect but this is a fantastic, mid-priced, farm-to-table restaurant with an extensive Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free selection. The “small plates” are not appropriately named as they are decently sized. The lobster bisque is loaded with lobster meat and is perfectly sweet. Everything we tried, both vegan and not, was absolutely amazing, including their cocktails. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be back likely monthly to try out their specialty menu!
