The 25 Best Restaurants in Cincinnati Right Now, According to Yelp
"ADDRESS: 4100 Hamilton Avenue (Northside)EPISODE: Season 21, Episode 2: “Seriously Saucy”. Since Guy’s visit in 2014, Melt’s location, ownership, and even its name have gone through a few changes. It’s now called Melt Revival, but new owners Shannon and Diane assure me that—although the BBQ chicken sandwich and vegetarian 3-way featured on Triple D aren’t always on the menu—they’re still available to guests who request them, in addition to their other locally sourced dishes served daily."
"Melt Revival, previously known as Melt, is a long loved staple of Cincinnati’s culinary scene that recently underwent a plant based transformation. The menu, previously traditional (yet delicious) soups and salads, is now a much more global experience. The real difference> Melt Revival is now a primarily whole-food based eatery with a vegan / vegetarian slant offering lunch, dinner, cocktails– and you guessed it– brunch."
"This brand new pop-up, pick-up restaurant downtown is not your average salad joint. Essen Kitchen’s mission is to create plant based compositions that are accessible to everyone– and ‘compositions’ is the word for it. Essen prioritizes fresh, local ingredients, presentation, and balanced texture profiles in their menu items– basically meaning, Essen’s food is beautiful in every sense."
"If you’re looking for a place that serves quick-bite vegan food in Cincinnati, ESSEN Kitchen is the perfect spot to check out. Offering specific menus for breakfast and lunch, you’ll be able to try their delicious breakfast wrap and unique Comfort Box entree. You can never go wrong with ordering one of their all-day sweets!"
"Located in the historical Findlay District, ESSEN Kitchen serves up 100% plant-based lunch options. With a seasonally rotating menu, try one of their signature Bento Lunch Boxes, or grab a lil’ something a la carte.1 Findlay St., Over-the-Rhine, essenkitchen.comWhat to Get: ESSEN Burger, Daily Soup, Chocolate Chip Cookie"
"At Aladdin’s, they take great care in providing diet friendly Lebanese-American cuisine made with fresh and flavorful ingredients. Though Cincinnati boasts three locations around the city, their expansive menu is going to make it hard for you to choose. That’s why the Vegetarian Appetizer Combo is your best bet: you get a little taste of everything you want."
"Aladdin’s Eatery is a restaurant that serves flavorful Lebanese-American foods. Many of their soups, salads, and pitas are all vegetarian-friendly. Check out their menu here to get an idea of what type of dishes they offer."
"Another great place to enjoy some vegetarian dishes is Allyn’s Cafe, a restaurant located in the neighborhood of Columbia-Tusculum known for serving cajun-style cuisine. One of the more popular vegetarian dishes on the menu are the Huevos Rancheros, which consist of egg, peppers, onion, and cheese wrapped in a tortilla and topped with salsa. Location: 3538 Columbia Pkwy, Cincinnati, OH 45226"
"Keep Allyn’s in mind for the weekends because three of the seven items on their Sunday brunch menu are vegan. Or taste-test the chili, jambalaya, jackfruit BBQ, and Mardi Gras pasta (all vegan, and all made with local and responsibly-sourced ingredients) from their eclectic Cajun menu any day of the week."
"Perhaps the first place on this list that you’ve actually heard of!. Tom and Chee was made famous on Shark Tank and later, Man v. Food but it all started in Cincinnati. “Tom+Chee is the grilled cheese and tomato soup shop for the kid at heart, mixing classic comfort food with fresh ingredients, healthy alternatives, and a flair for the unexpected."
"Ooey and gooey goodness from Tom & Chee that we just can’t wait to chow down on!. Image courtesy of The Business Journals."
"Amma’s is a vegetarian South Indian restaurant known for its dosas (thin rice crepes) and daily lunch buffet. On Wednesdays, the buffet is completely vegan."
"Another popular place to get vegetarian dishes is Harmony Plant Fare, an all-vegan shop in the historic Findlay Market of the Over-The-Rhine neighborhood. As their site shares: “You can order a sandwich, buy meats, cheese & salads by the pound, or pick up some vegan pantry staples. We make our own seitans and vegan cheese."
"This chain is in fierce competition with Skyline, although fans of the chain argue that it has a richer sauce and will save you a buck or two compared to Skyline."
"Located across the Ohio River in Covington, KY, the Railway Museum of Greater Cincinnati is an entirely volunteer-run museum that features an incredible collection of authentic trains and railroad equipment. For anyone interested in the history of railroads or trains, this is a must-visit spot. Price: $4 Adults, $2 ages 10 and under (cash only)"
"Panera may be known for its bread – but any kid will tell you that this fast casual restaurant’s mac n’ cheese is king. Cheese-loving littles will go gaga over Panera’s creamy, soup-like shells and cheese – and parents will appreciate that all kids’ meals come with healthy sides like fresh fruit or yogurt."
"Ohio native Blair Fornshell spent years honing her craft at home before opening her sun-filled, pastel-hued bakeshop in 2017. The pastry case is stocked with familiar treats in contemporary flavors, like matcha cheesecake, lavender-infused lemon bars, and turmeric sugar cookies. Fornshell's partner, designer Chaske Haverkos, often helms the counter, which is covered in stunning seafoam-green tiles custom-made in Cincy."
"Take one look at Brown Bear’s Instagram and you’ll want to visit immediately, try the cinnamon roll, and never want to leave. Blair Fornshell, who moved somewhat quietly behind-the-scenes at different venues like the City Flea, launched her own brick-and-mortar venture in 2017. She takes her time tirelessly developing recipes, and the result is baked perfection you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else."
