Cafe Modern

Cuisine: Eclectic

Neighborhood: Fort Worth

3200 Darnell St., TX, 76107 Map It
817-840-2157

Website

This brisk and beautifully stark cafe, tethered to The Modern Museum of Art in Fort Worth, skillfully frames a simple menu flung with international influences in Southwestern flare. It’s a comfortable respite from the head-scratching cryptic of modern art.
