About this business

They say when visiting a town, go where the locals go. This charming corner cafe in the middle of downtown Decatur is just that place. Simple and sweet, the concrete floors of the dining room are offset by bright purple walls, and seating is pretty limited. Best known for its monster sandwiches, piled high with fresh vegetables and select meats, Cafe Lily also provides a nice array of ethnic dishes. Sample the Moroccan jerk steak, the Portuguese ribeye, or any of a number of light seafood selections. Dinner starts at 5:30p f... read more

Absolutely wonderful! – We went to Cafe Lily upon recommendation from friends for a special night out and it was fabulous. The service was impeccable and the food was out of this world. The salmon appetizer was so good, I'm going back for more. And the buttersquash ravioli was out of this world. Highly recommended for a date or for small groups. Just wonderful.

Tremendous! – As another reviewer said, I'm like family there! Angelo is wonderful to my wife & I each time we go. The food, atmosphere & service are beyond great! And if you are on a diet like I am, ask Angelo for help and they'll cook to order! And don't forget to ask for wine advice. We've learned so much from them.

nearly perfect – This is consistently one of my favourite places in town. I recommend this place more than any other restaurant, for almost any occasion - birthdays, dates, special events, casual nights out, whatever. I am compelled to get the mussels with spicy broth every time. I rarely get to dessert, I so stuff myself, but when I do, it's always a delight. Service is always great and with reservations, it's always on time. The owner and his family rock, verily.

I'm like family! – At least, they make me feel like I am! From off-the-list wine selections to the EXCELLENT service, I would (and do) recommend this place to anyone with good taste. The nightly specials make it difficult for me to decide to get my faves from the menu. The filet (with gorgonzola) is SO much better than Spago's (sorry Wolfgang)!

Consistently Delicious – Cafe Lily is the most consistent restaurant I've been to in Decatur. The food is always delicious, the staff always friendly and attentive. I am always torn between trying new things and falling back on my favorite - the always amazing Pinchitos - but I've never been disappointed.
