Conceived by Chef David Deshaies and Restaurateurs Eric Eden and John Cidre, Unconventional Diner serves inspired dishes that blend soulful comfort with haute technique. The menu is studded with imaginative delights that echo the restaurant’s name, from French fries with “sexy sauce” to pot-pie poppers—an addictive appetizer version of the all-American favorite—to a meatloaf that’s “nothing like anyone’s mom’s.” Chef David, a James Beard nominee, is the culinary force behind this highly acclaimed Michelin Bib Gourmand spot in Shaw. Craft cocktails and award-winning desserts add to the alchemy for diners looking for an entertaining (and delicious) culinary experience.
