Had an absolutely delightful brunch at Bella Cafe today. Our server was fantastic and the European Bar is so delicious. If this isn’t on your list of best brunch spots in Lexington, it should be💜.
Duce the bartender took the time to chat with me, he was so busy; he was so kind.

Bella Cafe and Grille offers a delightful dining experience with a unique brunch concept featuring small pastries and muffins. The professional and friendly staff provide excellent service in a clean and cozy ambiance. For dinner, guests can enjoy dishes like the crispy chicken sandwich with coleslaw and spicy pickles, or the grilled chicken, often served with sides like perfectly cooked Brussels sprouts. Customers have also appreciated the chicken salad and vegie burger options. The restaurant maintains a calm atmosphere, making it pleasant to hear conversations without the music being overbearing. While service can sometimes feel rushed during busy times, the attentive staff strives to make every visit special. Recent guests praised the food and drinks as excellent, though the place can get very packed, which may cause longer wait times for orders. One enjoyed the Restaurant Week special, including a well-cooked pork chop and delicious red pepper soup, despite running out of the advertised dessert. Others noted that the chicken tenders with Brussels sprouts were especially tasty, with the chicken's unique breading and two great dipping sauces—ranch and BBQ—and the Brussels sprouts crispy with honey sauce and shaved Parmesan. Visitors also highly recommend the filet and the butter bourbon old fashioned, praising the quality of the food and drinks. The staff remains pleasant and attentive, though tight seating and noise levels can be high, which some feel could be improved with sound dampening. The restaurant is known for its tasty grilled chicken wings, with a hint of lemon that makes them refreshing, yet juicy and tender—never greasy or heavy. Parking can be a challenge, as guests are reminded to avoid towing issues, but street parking is plentiful. Overall, Bella Cafe and Grille continues to be a great spot for a meal out, offering good food and a welcoming environment. Guests frequently praise the menu, whether dining in or ordering DoorDash, and recommend bringing visitors to this “A” List spot. The staff’s bubbly personality and attentive service enhance the experience, and the seasonal specials along with an impressive wine and cocktail list make it a favorite in Lexington for brunch, lunch, or dinner.
