Are you looking for a place to impress a date? Something a little more fancy than Applebees or Olive Garden? Or are you just looking to try a different culture’s cuisine? Bella Luna Cafe might be the place for you. They serve all sorts of Mediterranean food, from hummus to quinoa to chicken de Chateau. Bella Luna has two locations in Wichita--New Market Square and Bradley Fair.

This summer, I ate lunch at Bella Luna Cafe in New Market Square. The venue is small; they only seat a small number of people — my guess would be somewhere around 50-100 people. The service was quick, especially considering we had a group of 15, and the food was amazing. I do give a little warning — it is somewhat expensive. To start, we all shared hummus and chips, one of the dishes Bella Luna Cafe is known for. I had the lobster ravioli and quinoa. I had never tried the rice-like side but quickly found that is was delicious.

Even with it being expensive, the combination of trying new foods and the more personal atmosphere makes Bella Luna Cafe an excellent choice for a date or a small dinner party to celebrate with your friends.
