Offering an elegant, yet relaxed dining atmosphere to Oklahoma City's historic First National Center is The Gilded Acorn, a French-style patisserie crafted by 2022 James Beard semifinalist executive chef Andrew Black. Along with classic French tarts, macarons and stuffed croissants, The Gilded Acorn's menu showcases artisan coffee, world-class champagne, breakfast, elevated lunch and premier seafood bites. 

Retreat to this decadent art deco cafe and begin your morning with a prime benedict – fashioned with hollandaise sauce, poached eggs, roasted confit potato and a New York strip on a toasted croissant. Other breakfast favorites include smoked or veggie benedicts, as well as a sockeye lox – cured salmon, pickled red onions and cream cheese evenly spread on top of an everything bagel. 

This dining gem in the heart of downtown also serves as an ideal gourmet lunch outing. Featured sandwiches with an upscale twist include flavors like French dips, egg salads, open-faced avocado and egg with balsamic glaze, or a champagne poached chicken with caramelized apples, arugula and melted brie cheese. 

Celebrate any special occasion under the green-and-gold accents with a glass of champagne, a platter of oysters and pearls, or a high-tea reservation. Raise your pinkies and choose from a careful selection of teas, scones, desserts and small bites that will make you feel like European royalty.
