A picturesque place to lunch 🖼️ Did you kno A picturesque place to lunch 🖼️ Did you know one of the prettiest places to eat in Fort Worth is inside @themodernfw Museum? @cafemodernfw’s lovely dining room sits right on a beautiful pond on the museum grounds & you can enjoy your meal with a tranquil view right on the water. If the weather’s nice, they also have a massive patio where you can enjoy the scenery. We enjoyed the Chinois Chicken Salad & the Dan Dan Noodles. The Sticky Ribs pack quite a punch—they are technically a shareable, but there’s enough for an entree if you don’t care to share. 😅 They also serve Sunday brunch & Friday dinner. An absolute can’t miss if you’re out in Fort Worth! #fortworthrestaurants #fortworth #fortwortheats 📷: @amypyen
