Today's post was HIGHLY requested and I am so excited to finally be able to share it with ya'll. If you know me then you know how much I love to pick up a fork. I'm a true foodie at heart and I get more excited than I probably should about sitting down to the dinner table. I think my southern roots are mostly to blame but who am I kidding, I'm pretty sure I would have ended up obsessed with sauces and seasonings and cocktails regardless.
So today I wanted to sit down and finally share some the best, at least in my opinion, places to eat in Louisville. Granted I haven't eaten at EVERY restaurant this city has to offer, but I've been around the block a time or two. I have included a few places I still want to visit as well just in case you wanna know what's on my radar. So if you live in Louisville let me know if you've ever been to any of the places listed below and please PLEASE share your favorites with me too. I apologize in advance for the length of this post.
Wiltshire Bakery and Cafe: Even though I use to only go here for coffee and croissant I've recently stated eating eating here and oh my goodness. Besides the fact that they have the best damn iced latte I've ever had, their homemade pasta's like the one above are TO DIE FOR!
Please and Thank You: I love the vibe of this place...super laid back and chill. They also have great coffee, lavender lemonade and amazing chocolate chip cookies!
Toast on Market: After a night out this is usually where me and my friends gather on Sunday mornings to recap and sip on mimosas. Some of my favorites here are the breakfast burger, the hash brown casserole and their rotating mimosa of the day!
Louvino: This one is a favorite of mine for bunch, lunch and dinner! The menu is so so good ya'll! From the filet and eggs and the chicken biscuit sliders to the brussels sprouts, the chicken tacos and the steak and fries you seriously cannot go wrong. They also have some pretty sweet wine flights too, my favorite individual bottle is called Sexual Chocolate lol.
Guacamole: Best guacamole EVER EVER! My favorite is the Yucateco. I also always get the Suizas which are shrimp and crabmeat enchiladas. And I'm not talking baby shrimp either my friends, these are the jumbos!
El Taco Luchador: My favorite place to grab tacos in Louisville. They are all so flavorful and the corn on the cob is a must. Yes it's messy to eat but it's so unbelievably worth it!
The Eagle: You get fried chicken here ya'll but I really come for the sides, the bourbon punch and the hot honey sauce! SO SO GOOD!
Feast BBQ: Everything at Feast is good ya'll. EVERYTHING. But I feel like it is my duty to tell you that the mac and cheese and collard greens are non negotiable and delicious AF.
Dragon Kings Daughter: Located in the Highlands this is one of my favorite sushi spots. I always get the stuffed wontons, the dipity role and the don't hurt em roll.
Garage Bar: Tucked in the heart of NuLu this place is a great hangout on nights and weekends. They have great pizza and their wings are delicious!!
Artesano Tapas: I love tapas restaurant because you get to order a whole bunch of stuff to taste share with everyone at the table.
Brix Wine Bar: I love a good pasta and for me it's all about the sauce. If its not flavorful or too runny I'm over it before I even start. But this place has THE BEST chicken carbonara and the sauce is MONEY. Like, seriously the best.
Mercato Italiano: I could honestly go on and on about how much I love this place. Eating here for the first time my friend Olivia and I read the menu and seriously got mad that we couldn't just order everything haha. Like, why is that not an option. This would be a great spot for a date night or a GNO.
