Nestled in the heart of Columbus’ historic German Village, 262 East Sycamore Street has been a gathering place for family and friends for more than a century.

Drawing inspiration from the casual, laid-back elegance of Europe’s all-day cafés, Sycamore is based on our love of neighborhood restaurants that weave themselves into the rhythms of our day to day lives.

Stop by in the morning for expertly crafted espresso, freshly baked pastry, or a light breakfast. Take a mid-day break for a salad, sandwich, or small plate. Join us for dinner and enjoy our menu influenced by the changing of the seasons, featuring local and sustainably sourced ingredients prepared simply and elegantly.

And our bar’s always open—with its thoughtfully selected list of cocktails, wines, beer and spirits—for a late morning pick-me-up or afternoon aperitivo, to an evening celebration.

Reservations are available fo dinner service. We can’t wait to see you—come spend your favorite part of the day at Sycamore.

The food, cocktails, and wine were superb. But, service was slow. The server had tables outside as well as inside, from what I could see, and we were left alone unattended for extended periods.

Fabulous meal from start to finish! Exceptional and creative cocktails and delicious starters that we could have happily ordered a second time if it weren’t for wanting to try the entrees. Impeccable, warm friendly service for our memorable meal in a lovely spot, can’t wait to return ( even when it’s not a special occasion!)
