Cincinnati Restaurants

The Queen City will surprise you with its diverse food offerings and regional fare. Make sure you try “Cincinnati chili,” spaghetti topped with a Mediterranean-spiced meat sauce that is then covered with a mound of mild cheddar cheese. Locals swear by it, and it has confused and fascinated travelers for generations. Another local favorite is goetta, a sausage or mush made up of meat and grain. It originated when German settlers came to the Cincinnati and Dayton area of Ohio and can be found on most breakfast and brunch menus in the area. Nothing quite symbolizes the Cincinnati culinary scene like enjoying a delicious meal while overlooking the Ohio River. Enjoy the view from a casual sports bar cooking up award-winning wings or from the highest floor of a skyscraper over a romantic candlelight dinner.
