For wonderful veggie meals (they also have some non-veggie stuff) in a very ecclectic atmosphere (old diner-style tables and various toys and colorful salt-n-pepper shakers on the tables), try Lynn's Paradise Cafe on Frankfort Avenue. There is usually a wait for dinner on weekends (no reservations) but they are also great for breakfast and lunch. IF you indeed choose to go a bit fancy, then I HIGHLY recommend LILLY'S on Bardstown Road. They lean a bit to the French side, but the owner/chef often uses Kentucky grown ingredients (lamb, goat cheese, free-range chicken/veal, etc.). Kathleen Palmera [email removed]
