Thursday – Sunday
Lunch in Downtown Providence
Scratch-cooked sandwiches, the award-winning lobster roll, and farm-egg plates inside The Arcade. Walk in, or order it to go.
Downtown's lunch, done the Rogue way.
Thursday through Sunday the brunch menu runs from open, and it leans savory: a Maine lobster roll on a buttered New England roll, beer-braised short rib on griddled challah, hickory-smoked pulled pork, cornmeal-crusted fried chicken over a buttermilk biscuit. All of it cooked from scratch with ingredients from Rhode Island and Southeastern New England farms and boats.
