Check out the food scene! Below is a list and some photos of our favorite restaurants and bars in the downtown area. Reservations are encouraged, especially during the busy Memorial Day weekend.

We highly recommend Taste of Cincinnati.This annual food festival is runs May 25-27, 2024 and features some of the area’s best restaurants and food trucks. Located 4 blocks off Fifth Street, between Main Street and just east of Sentinel Street in downtown.

We also recommend Findlay Market, Ohio’s oldest continuously operated public market. Findlay Market has a unique collection of food vendors, produce, shops, and an outdoor beer garden. Located at 1801 Race Street in the historic Over-the-Rhine (OTR) neighborhood.

And of course there is Cincinnati Chili! This is an acquired taste for some (meat sauce, beans, and cheese served over top spaghetti), but you will find no shortage of chili restaurants and parlors throughout the city, with Skyline being the most prevalent.
