French Onion at The Table

You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu at The Table but the French Onion soup will transport you straight to France. This classic soup is made with a base of meat stock and onions and topped with a baguette and bubbly cheese. If you’re not a French onion fan, you can’t go wrong with the Chicken Gnocchi and Red Pepper Bisque soups either. The best part is you can also purchase these soups by the pint and chilled, ready to take home. 

The Table is a spin-off from its parent company, Engineered Edibles Catering Co., a corporate catering company. The Table grew into its European-inspired café after the pandemic put corporate catering on hold. The little shop in Downtown Overland Park is the perfect little lunch spot with a fantastic menu.
