Wildflour: One of the Best Restaurants Near Leavenworth (Full Review!)
Last Updated on April 22, 2024 by Kelly
Wildflour is an excellent restaurant located in Leavenworth, Washington. If you have an upcoming trip to Leavenworth and you’re looking for a nice meal, this is the restaurant for you. We recently celebrated our 5-year wedding anniversary at Wildflour and we were thoroughly impressed by the experience. We think it’s worth the drive there even if you’re not planning on staying in Leavenworth!
About Wildflour
The Wildflour menu is stewarded by Chef Ben Herried. Wildflour specializes in handcrafted pasta with sophisticated pairings that utilize local ingredients. The local ingredients are sourced from the following farms: Hope Mountain Farm, Full Moon Farm, and Snowgrass Farm.
Wildflour is open Wednesday through Saturday from 4pm to 9pm. They accept reservations, and we highly recommend that you do so. At the time of this writing, they also offer private igloos outside which you can reserve on OpenTable.
The average dinner entree price at the time of this writing was around $33. (The lowest entree price was $24 and the most expensive $48.) Although we didn’t see a required dress code, we recommend business casual. We saw many people wearing dresses and slacks (no suit jacket). We also saw some people wearing golf shorts and polos.
Our Experience Dining at Wildflour
We started our dining experience with 2 specialty cocktails. I ordered a gin hibiscus cocktail, and my husband ordered a smoked manhattan. Although both were delicious, we highly recommend that you try the smoked manhattan. It was a showstopper in and of itself! Our server brought out a decanter that was filled with swirling smoke, and then poured the cocktail table-side. It had a subtle smoked flavor and it was sophisticated and delicious.
For entrees, we ordered the following pasta:
- Polenta: creamy polenta with slow-roasted beef brisket, seasonal vegetables, and a cherry rhubarb mostada
- Gnocchi: handmade porcini gnocchi with hand-cut beef tenderloin, gorgonzola cream, demi-glace, caramelized cippolini onions, and seasonal vegetables
While both dishes were absolutely delicious, my husband and I both agreed the gnocchi was our favorite!
For dessert, we enjoyed a chocolate mousse with fresh berries.
Directions
From Highway 2, head north at the junction with WA 207. After 3.6 miles, take a left on Cedar Brae Road. (Google Maps then directed us to take a left on a closed forest service road, so be sure to continue on Cedar Brae Road.) Then take a left on Kahler Drive, and take another left on Clubhouse Drive. Continue on Clubhouse Drive and Wildflour will be on the right.
Address: 20700 Club House Dr., Leavenworth, WA 98826
