Larcher's Market — Restaurant in Wichita

Kind of a spur of the moment decision, but enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at Larcher's Market. I was going to have lunch there, but I was getting hangry and didn't want to wait an hour. Anyways, I ordered the B.E.C Sammie. It came with bacon, scrambled eggs, havarti, Larcher’s sauce, arugula, between two slices of rosemary garlic focaccia. I'll just say this, the focaccia was some of the best, most fresh slices of bread I've ever eaten. It totally made the sandwich. The arugula was tossed in a red wine vinegrette which shows the extra effort Larcher's Market puts in making their food super special. Eggs were beyond fluffy, and the bacon cooked to almost perfection. To say I enjoyed this sandwich, is an understatement. And let me reiterate, that bread! I've never had anything close to as good as it was. And as far as the atmosphere goes, I'd give it 30 stars if I could.

There's a place in town I'm slowly becoming obsessed with. That place is Larcher's Market. The staff is extremely friendly and the actual environment of the restaurant/market is very modern and cozy at the same time. Today I ordered the Crispy Chicken Biscuit for a late breakfast. And like usual, Larcher's Market knocked it out of the park! The biscuit was baked this morning obviously, and was light and buttery. Chicken was hand breaded, juicy, with the right crunch to the breading. Perfectly cooked sunny side up egg, and the pico was fresh. The cheese was basic. Just a slice of American from what I could tell. My only complaint is the sausage gravy could have used a little more salt and pepper, and maybe they could have added a little more butter to it. But outside of that, this Crispy Chicken Biscuit was phenomenal!

To say I love Larcher's Market, is an understatement, so decided to bring my friend Brooke here for the first time. She ended up getting the Turkey club (not pictured) and I had the Breakfast Sammie. Hers looked nice but I really don't know much about the sandwich because I didn't try it. But mine consisted of pork sausage, hash brown, over hard eggs, brioche bun, American cheese, and a jalapeno jam. The sausage has a unique flavor, and the jalapeno jam was sweet and slightly spicy. Definitely made the sandwich. The brioche bun was freshly baked with a soft, fluffiness to it that I haven't had in some time. I'd say the hash brown had a crisp to it, and was the icing on the cake. Just let me say this, after I tried this sandwich, and realized all the product Larcher's Market puts out is top notch, I'd say they're probably the best place to get...

If you want a fantastic breakfast served quickly by attentive and friendly staff in a fun and interesting atmosphere, then head straight to the Belmont...and instead of going inside, make a hard left and go to Larchers instead.

Now as a self proclaimed food celebrity, I've been shocked and dismayed by how few of Wichita's supposed "upper echelon" of eateries seem to be unable to prepare a PROPER over easy egg. Larchers is NOT one of them. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Biscuit, which consisted of a humongous piece of breaded and fried boneless chicken, carefully placed on top of a perfectly crafted biscuit, and smothered in poblano sausage gravy with a slice of cheddar between. Larchers then tops this beautifully tasty creation with the piece de resistance: a PERFECTLY prepared over easy egg. I tell you, when I saw that gorgeous runny yolk, I almost wept in pure ecstasy. I normally am not one to finish a breakfast as huge as the Larchers Crispy Chicken Biscuit in one sitting (seriously, the portions are enough for two self proclaimed food celebrities), but I could not stop until I finished the entire glorious meal. Washing it all down with one of their delicious iced lattes that was quickly prepared by their skilled baristas.

Larchers executes everything they do at the highest level: the service, the food, the atmosphere, but the thing that impressed me the most was that whoever they have back in that kitchen knows how to do a PROPER over easy egg. Bravo, Larchers crew. Me and my little family of self proclaimed food celebrities WILL be back feeling a little cooler and fuller...

Food is delicious (from previous experience) Decor is nice for parties of 3 or less. But, I caution anyone with limited mobility to either arrive by 11am, and make sure there is seating that can accommodate them before ordering because they may not find seating. Also, this place is probably not for parties of more than 3 people. When my party of 4 arrived for lunch, there was basically only one table on the ground floor that could have seated all of us, and it was occupied. One of my friends recently had surgery and couldn’t climb the stairs. The tables outside can only seat 2-3, and in the summer when it’s over 90-degrees, it’s not comfortable. Also, when we asked the register clerks about options they just said, “Whatever is available is what we have,” and rolled their eyes at us because apparently, older customers are not the clientele they feel compelled to assist. Pretty rude. We decided to eat next door at the Belmont, the sister restaurant...
