Artesia Fusion Bistro and Catering

Here at The Dandy Lion we like to tread lightly, live well, live simple, and to love Mama Earth. We've met our match and are quite smitten with Artesia's Fusion Bistro. Yet another amazing chance to support local independent free thinking entrepreneurs. They are bringing character and eco-conscious atmosphere to downtown. Glad they're part of our home sweet home, and even more glad they make enjoying a taste of something new super affordable.

"Great Menu! I love the attention to detail. Probably the best new restaurant in the metro area! Everyone should check it out, you will fall in live with it." - Chad Seewer via Urban Spoon

" "...the integrating of disparate cooking styles w/ local, seasonal ingredients..." Artesia has done it. They have a wide variety of offerings; grass fed burgers, bison chili, organic hummus/ tabbouleh, soups, salads and great side offerings. They change the sides regularly. Right now, fried green tomatoes, fried mushrooms, french fries, sweet potato fries, sauteed green beans, farm fresh sauteed greens w bacon, and acorn squash w brown sugar were on the menu." - Urban Spoon

"Artesia is wonderful. Portions great, healthy, KID FRIENDLY!!!! Hummus, tabouleh and fried green tomatoes out of this world. You normally only find this food on Bardstown road, but guess what they are in downtown New Albany!" - Laurie O'Hare via Urban Spoon

Friendly owners & staff, amazing ingredients, something for everyone!

Just-in! Owl Mamas!

PRESS: Velocity Holiday Gift Guide

"Lewis Black might be good for your college-age brother, but your hip niece who reminds you of "Juno" would prefer something hand-made from The Dandy Lion (310 Bank St., New Albany). Co-owner Katy Traughber goes straight to a collection of prints ($16) by artist Matt Cipov. "I think these are amazing," Traughber said. "I love 'em because I feel like they're really playful. I can see a guy or girl hanging these. I haven't seen anything like this in this area yet. I kinda like the creepiness about it, too." Both boys and girls have those times when they could use a drink, but aren't supposed to. For those times, Traughber recommends any one of their various flasks, and agrees with my manly selection of one in particular. "I like the skull flask ($22)," she said. "It's also got a little bit of art deco."
