Opened in 1979 and considered one of the best-kept secrets of the Alleghany Highlands, Michel Café specializes in French and American cuisine prepared by chef and owner, Michel Galand. The freestanding building with a dry-vit façade, generous parking and beautiful views of downtown Lexington offers an interior look of Café Michel and strives to remain casual, comfortable, but elegant. The menu features seafood, beef, poultry, and pasta entrees. Cooking classes are also available and there is a private party room which accommodates up to 70 people.
