This is our favorite Thai restaurant. Best we've had in Louisville, better than anything we had in Washington, D.C., too. Simply excellent.

Organic, locally grown food prepared by a gourmet chef with a Southern flair. Excellent. Best omelet I've ever eaten. Or try the burger on pretzel bun with hog-jowl jelly. Crazy good.

Not exactly gourmet, but for some quick tacos, I go here all the time. Really good and really close. They also have a good "Fiesta Pack" that you can take home.

One of the most interesting new restaurants in Louisville. Gourmet burgers paired with fresh mussels. Weird concept and strange location in a strip mall, but trust us---it's VERY good.

In my opinion, the best coffee in Louisville, a pretty coffee-snobbish city. If you're looking for the best, this is a drive, but it'll be worth it. Recognized by one mag as 6th best in the nation.

Fantastic beer garden on Bardstown Road, THE coolest area of Louisville. It will be busy, but the selection is top-notch. Neat atmosphere, too, in a re-purposed church building.
