With its gleaming subway tiles and order-at-the-counter service, Kitchenette is the faster, more casual version of Artisan, its dinner-oriented sister site in nearby Paso Robles. As co-owner and executive chef of both restaurants, Chris Kobayashi shows that his dedication to creative local fare isn’t limited to the evening: The menus span breakfast and lunch from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays, and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Breakfast dishes include house-made granolas, cinnamon brioche French toast, and yellow corn grits with linguica, braised kale, and a soft-poached egg. At lunch, a turkey bánh mì with country pâté and the Kitchenette Cheeseburger with special sauce (and your choice of one or two patties) are the stars. Desserts include homey ice-cream sundaes and seasonal pies along with Kobayashi’s signature Churros and Chocolate. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are clearly marked on the menu. Beverages include fresh-squeezed juices and local beer and wine on tap. The outdoor patio is pet-friendly.
