KC Concept was created by respected restaurateur Patrick Quillec, and is the EX. Chef / operator of 2 restaurants, including Café Provence and Cassis, a modern french bistro. Chef Patrick Quillec and Partner Kim Weinberger owned and operated the former Hannah Bistro Cafe in Kansas City and Overland Park.

KC Concept boasts some of the finest management and consulting talent available anywhere in the city, with technical expertise covering every area of the hospitality industry.

The former "Hannah Bistro Cafe" opened in 1998 serving contemporary French/Asian food at modest prices in a relaxed setting and set the food world ablaze earning a 3.5 Star rating from the "Star", 4 Stars from "The Sun", and induction into the "Nation's Restaurant News" as “What’s Hot in Kansas City”. In 1999, Hannah Bistro Cafe won two prestigious awards "Outstanding Service" and "Best New Restaurant". In 2000, Hannah Bistro Cafe was nominated for "Best Restaurant in America" by the Zagat. Hannah Bistro Cafe moved to Overland Park, Kansas in 2003 when it lost its lease and closed in 2005.

In 2001 "Café Provence" opened and instantly achieved nation wide acclaim. A classic Prairie Village social gathering place, Café Provence has been hailed as one of the "Best Restaurant In Kansas City" by the “Star”, the “Kansas City Magazine”, the “Pitch Weekly”, the “Business Weekly News”, and the “Independent” and cited for "What’s hot in Kansas City" by Nation’s Restaurant News. Cafe Provence is still enjoying a great business.

Cassis opened in the spring of 2006. "Located in the well-polished Town Center open-air shopping center, Cassis is a self-labeled ''European-inspired modern bistro.'' This space is sleek and sophisticated. A theatrically lit booze shelf towers above a glass bar -- the perfect backdrop for champagne sipping and haughty laughter. But the main reason fine diners continually follow Quillec on his cross-town journeys is his diverse and bold fusion cuisine. And Cassis' menu is his most ambitious. He offers an Asian-inspired tuna tartar with poached quail egg and chili-ginger oil as an appetizer. Just several listings away, you will find an oh-so French rabbit sausage with fennel flan. The entrees are the culinary version of a United Nation's conference, like the wild Baltic salmon with truffle risotto, pickled Japanese cucumber salad and red cassis balsamic essence. But as usual, Quillec's kitchen fuses these many ingredients and styles into dynamic flavor profiles that fulfill Cassis' ambitious concept of being a ''European-inspired modern bistro."

What really distinguishes the KC Concept Restaurant Group is the ability to conceptualize and professionally manage such a diverse collection of respected restaurants--profitably, and to critical acclaim.
