Patty O's Cafe

Patty O's Café, the latest project by Chef Patrick O'Connell, transforms a 1950s garage into a charming space where you can find reimagined classic American dishes from Chef's youth.

From Gas to Gastronomy

A Delicious Transformation

In 2021, Chef Patrick O’Connell breathed new life into an old gas station, turning it into Patty O’s Café & Bakery—a delightful spot where culinary tradition meets a touch of whimsy. Here, timeless American classics are crafted with the same passion and creativity that has made The Inn at Little Washington a legend.

The Menu

Patrick’s approach to cooking, while paying homage to the lawmakers of Classical French Cuisine, reflects a belief in American cuisine today-- healthy, eclectic, imaginative, unrestricted by ethnic boundaries and always growing. Much of the produce and many of the herbs used in the restaurant are raised on a small farm on our campus by our Farmer in Residence, Andy Thewis. Throughout the last four decades, The Inn has established a network of local farmers and suppliers whose products represent the best in our region. In 2021, Michelin awarded The Inn a Green Star for sustainability.
