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.
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.
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.
