Natasha's Cafe

Oooh, oohhh, ohhh. This is the place that you eat at when you want to forget that you're in Kentucky. VERY European. Could have something to do with the fact that the owner is Russian. The menu changes quite frequently and is filled with inspired fare, a sampling of which I have added below. Natasha overseas the cooking while her husband works the room, so to speak. The food is always fabulous. The restaurant's decor is very interesting, incorporating objects from around the world. It could be a nice place to have a romantic dinner, but sometimes on the weekends they have performances from everything from musical groups to belly dancers so you might want to check before you go. Check out the gift shop with lots of international stuff from amber jewelry to exotic clothing.

A SAMPLE OF DISHES:
Baked Brie & Fruit Chutney
Little Italy SB--Fresh mozzarella, roma tomatoes, basil with a touch of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Hungarian Goulash--Traditional braised beef, tomatoes, peppers, paprika (also served as a wrap)
Gypsy Stew--Colorful stew of chicken, beef, and lamb, with mushrooms, olives, peppers, squashes, tomatoes, and herbs on a bed of brown lentils.

Natasha's

What delightful serendipity it was to discover such a unique dining experience in Lexington, KY. My wife and I, along with our two children, found Lexington to be a lovely area. We were there primarily to visit the University of Kentucky, a prospective school for our eldest daughter, but also took part as tourists by making our rounds of the beautiful horse farms. For a change of pace we headed downtown for dinner, and found the most enchanting of restaurants just off Main Street. Natasha's is truly a gem! An urban bistro not unlike what you'd expect to find in a larger metropolis, such as Chicago. It's fare is from around the world complemented by the charm of its worldly decor. We were quite taken with the lovely staff, but even more so with their outstanding dishes. All was extremely flavorful and uniquely prepared. I had the Pesto Basilico, quite a savory pasta dish that I'd highly recommend. My wife raved over the sweet chili stir-fry, and the girls shared a couple of the tempting pizzas. Our evening was enhanced further by the talented pianist, as live music is always a delight. To wrap things up, we made a stop in the attached boutique and found some unique "souvenirs" to remember our trip. Oh how the girls love those Chinese shoes!
