New garden restaurant in west Fort Worth serves lunch amid flowers on a sunny patio
A new garden cafe is the latest restaurant to join the the renaissance on Camp Bowie Boulevard West.
Heirloom Garden Cafe is just getting started.
The menu is small and lunch-focused, but the setting is majestic — amid a city block of flowers, trees and singing birds at the 70-year-old Archie’s Gardenland center, 6700 Z Boaz Place just steps from the boulevard.
It’s the latest in a series of openings or upgrades on the west end of Camp Bowie Boulevard, including the new location of Fred’s Texas Cafe, JD’s Hamburgers (still undergoing storm repairs), Boozie’s brew-and-sandwich shop and Dayne’s Craft Barbecue.
Heirloom is a trailer serving lunch and brunch, but it doesn’t roll anywhere.
Tokyo Cafe chef Kevin Martinez has opened it as a sideline with the permission of Tokyo’s owners, Jarry and Mary Ho.
So far, Heirloom features his tomato-mozzarella salad with watermelon and sunflower pesto ($12), along with a rotating choice of sandwiches and desserts.
It’s open beginning at 10 a.m. for lunch, except Mondays and Tuesdays. Diners can sit at one of a dozen or so tables in the garden center or take a lunch to go.
The restaurant is still very much in a dry-run stage. The menu will grow, Martinez said.
“We want it to be one of the favorite lunch spots,” Martinez wrote in a text.
