Singapore Noodles
Elaine D.

How many times I've passed Paradise Cafe, and thought I should try it. I was in Paris today and went for lunch. Looked like locals having Sunday lunch. Very friendly proprietor. I ordered the Singapore Noodles. Very good, with plenty of shrimp and just enough spice. Take a ride out to Paris and check-it-out. 115

My husband surprised me with lunch date here! We both were highly impressed. Not only is the food delicious the sweet man who made the food, took awesome care of us! He made sure he was providing the best experience for us! If you are looking for a 5 star experience I'd go here! We will definitely be back! Another huge plus was the reasonable prices! I 10/10 recommend!!!

My boyfriend and I were in town for a concert and stopped in to eat and the food was absolutely amazing! Our service was great, the whole vibe of the restaurant is stunning everything we had was lovely and we will definitely be stopping in again if we are in town! We got the lovers platter to share and tried a cup of the egg flower and wonton soup and entrees were fantastic as well!

This was our 2nd trip here, Everything was fresh & very good & made to order. My wife was very impressed & she isn't a big fan Chinese buffets . Portions size was good & place is very clean. Didn't realize it was a B&B too??

Great service. Good food. Lovely atmosphere. Nice change from the million mexican restaurants this town has to offer. Thx to the kind owner, Lee, for an enjoyable and memorable dinner with friends.

So I have been on this journey to explore and understand Vietnamese food. It has been a long slow journey but one that in recent weeks has accelerated. I have spent the last several weekends in Paris working. About 3 weeks ago I was traveling home dog tired when I noticed this sign that I have never noticed before. AJ Paradis. But what really caught my eye was the three letters PHO. So I turn left on Main and Park and dash in to order some carryout. Since that first visit a few weeks ago I have been there often. There is a sign in the store that says Lee's Famous Egg Rolls. At least that is what I recall. The egg rolls are delicious. I had some saved in the refrigerator and my wife raided the fridge and eat them up. Big hit with the wife. Now back to my journey to understanding PHO. First time eating carry out here I was starved so when I got home I had the soup and all of these little containers of stuff. Saw some red sauce dumped it all in, saw some hoisin sauce left it out as I did with the lime. Took a spoonful and it lit me up. Now the thing about PHO as I now understand better is you can create your own experience. Now my perfect PHO is a half teaspoon of hoisin sause, I dip the tongs of a fork into the red sauce, the lime is the best so it is necessary and I do not put all of cilantro into the soup and voila the perfect bowl of PHO. The interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated and the staff is fast, efficient and friendly. The food is enjoyable and now I better know how to manage all the tiny containers that they provide. While traveling through Paris Kentucky give these folks a call. Apparently the business has been here for 20 years. However that sign I never notice is New. Kudos to whoever decided to upgrade the sign. Without it I could have easily driven past it another 20 years. Stop by. I am sure you will be glad you did.

Best Pad Thai I have e v e r eaten. First time travel to Paris, KY because of business and was told that there was not a single good place to eat there so I drove downtown and found Paradise Cafe. From the outside it looks nice and the from the inside even nicer. Place was empty but it was 3pm and I actually prefer a quiet place to eat. Greeted by a very nice, humble and quiet gentleman and ordered the Chicken Pad Thai. The kitchen is right there so I began to hear the food getting prepared by him and it smelled very good. The plate arrives and to my surprise it's beautifully plated! Of course I had to take a pic :) Upon first bite I was immediately aware that this was the BEST freakin' Pad Thai I have ever enjoyed! Nothing else to say but try it. Thank me later.

Finding a neon pho sign in Paris KY produced a delightful meal presentation.

Authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The fresh spring rolls and the pho are excellent. Dine in or carry out. I only wish that they served alcohol.

Just book it--- you will NOT be disappointed…read more My wife and I stayed here for three days and nights, as a home base while exploring various Kentucky highlights. We chose it based on Yelp reviews and location, as she has family in Wilmore. Just needed a place to hang our hats for a few days...well, we found a lot more than that! Having stayed at a few B&Bs around the US, we didn't have the highest expectations for the breakfast fare, and would have been ok with something between typical hotel Continental breakfast and Denny's- level traditional. Be prepared for a major upgrade! Every day Suzanne​ wowed us, not just with the delicious, creative breakfast, but with the "treat of the day", which was, for us, in order, (homemade) salted chocolate chip cookies, (homemade) rhubarb pie, and (homemade) blueberry buckle. For breakfast on the morning we left, she made Bourbon French Toast with Chocolate Bourbon sauce. We're now spoiled. Not just the quality of the food, but the level of service, too, was far above what we've come to expect at B&Bs. The little touches made the difference---a common sitting room with available DVDs for no additional cost, the free daily bottles of water, tea & coffee always available, the aforementioned treat of the day, fluffy robes in the closet of your room, a bathroom stocked with quality toiletries...and just Suzanne's graciousness as a hostess made this a place my wife and I wholeheartedly recommend, and hope to return to someday. If you're looking for Southern hospitality and charm, you found it.

Amazing!!! Suzann is the perfect hostess we arrived to a beautiful, clean and welcoming "home" away…read morefrom home- the bed was super comfy and the porch swing was calling our name- the breakfast was better then any restaurant and the coffee was nice and strong the way I like it- We now have a new friend and a place to stay when in the area- thank you Suzann for everything

Our bedroom with its own large bathroom was beautifully decorated and so very plush-even had plush robes hanging in the closet for our use! Mini refrigerator was stocked with sodas that we mentioned we liked. We arrived around 3 and went to our room. About an hour later our picnic basket was ready. The sandwiches and cupcakes were DELICIOUS! The next morning our breakfast included a croissant with some kind of blueberry compote and cheese filling with crisp bacon. OMG! The homemade food at Charred Oakes is worth the stay. What a lovely time in a beautiful BnB with very gracious hosts.

We stayed at the Charred Oaks Inn while on the Bourbon Trail in mid September. Richard and Pamela…read morewere wonderful. From the moment they opened the front door to the morning of our departure, they were very welcoming. Their knowledge of the history of the area, recommendations for restaurants and local businesses, and afternoon picnic baskets were incredible. The room was very cozy and warm. Pamela's homemade breakfasts were amazing (and this is an understatement). I would highly recommend staying at this lovely Inn!!!
