The Café at the Frick
At The Café at the Frick, good food is a fine art. Our chefs create distinctive soups and salads, gourmet specialties and delectable desserts from a palette of fresh, seasonal ingredients, some of which are grown in herb and vegetable gardens on the Frick's grounds. The menu changes seasonally, with soup, entrée and dessert specials offered daily. PITTSBURGH Magazine has twice awarded The Café with "best lunch" honors, as well as a Silver Medal for "best dessert."

Savor lunch or afternoon tea surrounded by the quiet elegance of Clayton's landscaped lawns. The Café's unique fare, attentive service, and gorgeous setting create a truly memorable dining experience. The Café at the Frick is quite possibly Western Pennsylvania's best-kept secret — make it your new favorite restaurant!
