Description

Le Champion is Amante Domingo’s dual-format concept at 4149 Pennsylvania Ave in Westport — the former home of Ça Va, one of KC’s few champagne-focused bars before it closed. Domingo opened Le Champion in September 2024 explicitly to fill that void: the space runs as a coffee shop during the day (Broadway Roasting Company beans, morning burritos, baked goods), then flips at 5 pm daily — laptops close, music goes up, the bar program takes over with champagne, wine, charcuterie, and cocktails.

Domingo, who grew up on a 150-acre organic farm near St. Joseph, MO, is a Westport-area operator — he also owns Noka (see noka) and The Russell in the same neighborhood. He collaborated with Heather White (of tailleur, Cheval, and Enchanté on Main Street) during the pandemic on space design concepts.

Tier classification

Tier 2. Amante Domingo is an established independent KC multi-concept operator with a documented commitment to Westport. St. Joseph, MO origin is outside the KC metro; if he arrived early enough and is deeply KC-rooted, Tier 1 consideration is warranted. The dual-concept format, farm-to-table origins, and cross-pollination with other notable KC independents (Heather White, Broadway Roasting) make this a strong Tier 2.
