Parc Cafe brings a touch of Paris to Maysville Kentucky

     There is nothing more quaint than visiting downtown Maysville Kentucky along the Ohio river. My daughter and I love to make frequent visits downtown to enjoy the shops and local dining.  We were wanting a little something sweet to eat and I said that I'd like to check out Parc Café since I've heard many good words about it. Parc Cafe is located on 35 East 2nd Street, Maysville KY 41056. As we walked in the café entrance, you get the feeling of being in Paris, France. The atmosphere was pleasant, relaxing, and the aroma of the ingredients was delightful.
     Parc Café offers hand-crafted espresso drinks, drip coffee, and a variety of beverages. The menu consist of fresh daily lunch specials, delicate sandwiches, and a variety of fresh bread and beautiful desserts. All the menu items and specials are made from scratch and using fresh ingredients provided by local farmers.
     My daughter ordered the Chiffon Fruit Sandwich.  The chiffon was perfectly airy and the bread was soft, moist, and topped with fresh fruit.  I ordered the Lavender Chocolate cup.  The chocolate was creamy with a hint of lavender to enhance the richness of the chocolate. Both were the perfect treats and definitely hit the spot.
     The manager of Parc Café is Joao Fernandez who wasn't at the café at the time for us to meet. We were able to meet and talk with the Assistant Clint Stone and Chef Masako Stone whom are a husband and wife team.  The story they shared with us seemed like a fairy tale, a little humorous, and quite touching. Clint and Masako were both living in Japan at the time they met.  Clint noticed Masako who was working at a florist.  Clint said she caught his eye and he regularly sent her flowers for 3 years to show his love for her.  After 3 years he finally got her full attention. Shortly after, they became husband and wife and now living in Kentucky with 2 beautiful children. Masako did her culinary training at the prestigious Tsuji Culinary Institute in Osaka, Japan. Chef Masako Stone specializes in French and Pastry while still bringing in a flavorful touch of her personal Japanese style cuisine.
     If you are ever near Maysville Kentucky or just want to take a road trip, I suggest visiting downtown Maysville and eating at the Parc Café.  The ambience and the food will not disappoint. It's a beautiful little touch of Paris along the Ohio River. I can't wait to go back. :-)
