It's no secret that I have been spending lots of time in Louisville as of late. One of my favorite things about the city, aside from Mr. Louisville, are all the restaurants. There are so many and I just don't feel like Newport/Cincinnati compares! I've listed some of my memorable food moments below.
I'm still thinking about the cornmeal pancake I had at Silver Dollar months ago.
North End Cafe is my favorite. Maybe my most favorite? I've only ever been for brunch but I am obsessed with their salads. I like to pop in by myself and chat with Andrew at the bar. We even invented our own drink. A Black and Rad. Stiegl Radler on the bottom Guinness on the top and the perfect brunch beer.
I had the most amazing ribs at Doc Crow's and I really dug the atmosphere.
Cumberland Brews is my go-to when I want to grab a beer. Also, their fried green tomatoes are delish!
I'm a sucker for some good Mexican food and El Camino is a fun place for it. The atmosphere is the coolest! I could eat chips and listen to the vintage surfer music all day. They were even nominated by Bon Appetit as one of their 50 best new restaurants for 2014!
Speaking of Mexican, we went to Wild Rita's before catching Bill Maher one night and I loved their cocktails! WARNING: I LOVE spicy food so I was excited to try a sampling of their salsas. However, their hottest, pinche caliente, was inedible. TOO HOT!! Pinche caliente = Hot shit.
Mr. L's favorite restaurant is Ramsi's. The service was too terrible the time I went there for me to take it seriously but they have a very eclectic menu so I'll definitely give it another try. It reminds me of my Newport favorite, York St. Cafe, but 10 times the menu.
Monday night is wing night at Shenanigan's and I could drink their mixed BBQ/Hot wing sauce. They also have my favorite kind of jalapeno poppers filled with cheddar cheese. Bar food at it's best!
I've mentioned the burgers from Grind before. So good! But they've recently added a permanent location in addition to their food truck that I can't wait to try.
We stopped into Baby D's Bagel and Deli before a bike ride one day and I was seriously impressed. Their bagel sandwiches are so good! I crave a good veggie sandwich so I loved their Hogan's Fountain with cream cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sprouts, cheddar and brown mustard on a bialy.
Sapporo for sushi and hibachi has always treated us right!
Mr. Louisville loves his steak. We've been to Jeff Ruby's and Morton's. Jeff Ruby wins, obviously. I'm not much of a steak snob but the service was amazing.
There are some places that are on our list like Mussel and Burger Bar, 610 Magnolia, Harvest, Bahn mi Hero, Sergio's, just about every new restaurant opening up on Bardstown Road and so many more!
What am I missing, Louisville? Any other suggestions?
