No one would probably ever have predicted that a wood-carving woman working in Kentucky and Northern California would eventually become owner of one of the most unique dining experiences in Louisville, but Lynn Winter has done just that. Lynn's Paradise Café invites its guests to dine on a deliciously distinct menu, admire an eclectic array of art, and share in life as a community.
Nestled in the heart of the Highlands, Lynn's Paradise Café combines community fun with an atmosphere that attracts guests from around the world. Local noteworthy events include Kentucky Derby-themed celebrations, and Kentucky State Fair-inspired contests. Other exotic and eccentric festivities attract people from outside of Louisville, including book signings, New Year's Pajama Parties, Valentine's Day Proms, a celebration of Pi Day, Mother's Day and Father's Day events, and even an October Lynntoberfest. Clearly this restaurant offers more than an every-day simple dining experience.
Lynn's Paradise Café offers party planning for any type of celebration and welcomes reservations for such events. Their menu includes entrees for any meal of the day, available for order any time of day, offering both classic menu items and items only found in Paradise. The drinks are out of this world, including the World Famous Bloody Mary made from their very own Bloody Mary mix from scratch.
Such a dining experience has not gone unnoticed, and Lynn's Paradise Café has plastered the press, including appearances in Esquire, Southern Living, USA Today, The New York Times, and on the Food Network and Oprah. Both the restaurant and Lynn have racked up multiple awards like Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year Award, The Tower Award for Women Leaders, Louisville's Distinguished Citizen Award, Louisville's 40 Under 40, National Restaurant Association's Chairman's Award for Grassroots Leadership, Women Business Owner of the Year, and Louisville Magazine's Best Restaurateur award.
Lynn has even cooked for two Inaugural balls.
To quote Jane and Michael Stern's book Roadfood, "Decide for yourself: Is this a great restaurant with amazing art... or an amazing art gallery with a great restaurant?"
Restaurants like Lynn's Paradise Café are one of many reasons Louisville is such a remarkable place to live. For more information on living in Louisville, please contact The Vince Carter Team.
