Louisville has gained a reputation for being a foodie town, so when you’re hosting out-of-towners, you know they’re going to be expecting a good meal… or two or three. 

And that’s a good thing! Because you’ll be able to be right there with them, sampling some of Louisville’s best. 

But, the downside of our city having a roster of good restaurants is that it’s hard to choose where to go. 

There are a couple things to consider: You want to be sure that your guests are going to have a good experience and you want to know that you’re taking them somewhere that embodies the city in some way.

The 28 restaurants on our list hit both of those requirements.
