The Best of NileGuide
-
Named one of the "foodiest" towns in America by Bon Appétit, Louisville has no shortage of excellent restaurants, many whose menus present locally-sourced ingredients in new ways.
Repeatedly voted Best Restaurant, Jack Fry's is located in the Highlands and the perfect pick for a special occasion, like your first night in Louisville. If foie gras and $30 entrees seem intimidating, the burger is a solid and absolutely affordable choice. Another favorite for a fancy night out (and a great burger) is Proof on Main, part of 21C Museum Hotel.
Don't miss Louisville's international fare, like Mayan Café and its salbutes, the out-of-the-way Vietnam Kitchen and Queen of Sheba, our only Ethiopian restaurant. Ramsi's Café on the World includes dishes from all around the globe, but be prepared for a wait any night of the week. If you're craving Cuban, check out Havana Rumba.
Finally, if you're looking for something quick, stop by Papalino's for a slice of New York-style pizza.
