Cincinnati is known the world over for its five-star chili and the many other restaurants which make this city a “gourmet” delight. People have gallons of the chili shipped to their homes in other states. There are many other restaurants in Cincinnati which do not have the popular appeal of the five-way chili but they excel in many other and more notable ways.
The number one ranked restaurant is also on Zagat’s List of the 10 best restaurants in the country in 2013. Orchids at Palm Court is a gem. This is the place where you would take a prominent business client, or a woman you want to seal the proposal for marriage with. It never misses the mark of high quality food, service and wine. Almost every food expert in the Cincinnati culinary world agrees.
Another great dining place is the renowned Italian restaurant Nicola’s which many food experts rate as one of the best Italian restaurants in America. There is an unwavering glow of hospitality combined with food which is acclaimed to be both noble and rustic.
Ruth’s Park side Cafe is another brilliant entry into the city’s downtown dining experience. It is notable for combining the maximum flavor potential of humble ingredients into dishes which are never lacking in perfection.
Let’s not forget about the steakhouses. Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse is everything you want a steakhouse to be. Beginning with serving a pound-and-a-half bone in rib eye to other generous portions of superbly prepared food served with perfection.
It is proper to look at the local restaurants and among them are the famous hot dog restaurants. Beginning with the 5-star Senate followed by Skyline Chili and Chili Time. These all serve the well-known chili dogs.
Barbecue ribs cannot be overlooked when a world famous rib place is in the neighborhood. The Montgomery Inn has been serving ribs to the world since 1951. The Montgomery Inn is the barbecue mecca for every celebrity who comes to Cincinnati and many famous people have the ribs shipped to them. Frank Sinatra was perhaps the most out-spoken fan of the ribs which put Montgomery on the map. Every U.S. President since Gerald R. Ford has eaten these wonderful ribs either at the Inn or had them shipped to the White House.
