Bakery that was on the corner of Bonnycastle and Bardstown for a good chunk of the 80's before closing. The location now houses Cafe 360/Mantra Cafe.

Bakery .

Restaurant, although they did have a bakery as part of the gig.

Parisian Kitchen, not Parisienne.

Great place, though. I hated to see it go.

I don't remember a restaurant there, but only purchased bread. BBC looked at the spot, as a potential 2nd location, after the Equestrian Grill closed '95ish. The bakery was still setup on the ground level, Bonnycastle side. I wanted to put a brew kettle under the large hood vent.


(I also purchased my first waterbed at that location in 1973 when it was Karma records. True story.)

Karma Records! Forgot that!

I'm sure about the restaurant, though. It opened while I was the food guy for The Times, and I reviewed it about three times during my tenure. Also, the chef, Richard Whittaker, later moved to North Palm and I ran into him again there later when my Mom lived in that neck of the woods.

Also, that's the place where the next owner allegedly took out a wall upstairs, angering a resident ghost who cursed the place for restaurants for 10 years or so, although 360 appears to have broken the curse.

Although I don't believe in such mumbo jumbo, here is a version of the alleged Parisian
Pantry curse/haunting. http://www.strangeusa.com/Viewlocation.aspx?id=64524

Let's suppose I did believe in said hokey pokey-ness. I would submit that the location is still cursed as I wouldn't wish Cafe 360 on a worst enemy.

I did, too! And before that, Les and Mark's downtown?

Les Naiman also came back with a short reincarnation on Whittington Parkway not too long ago, but it didn't last. :(

By the way, have you seen Les on Facebook? :shock:

Yeah they have done the St matthews farmers market for the past few years now. I don't really like the fact they changed their website to all pink and brown when It wasnt like that before. I wanted to have the pink and brown color monopoly lol :lol:
