Food-obsessed visitors to Cincinnati typically have a chili parlor at the top of their must-visit list. While we’ve got nothing against a dreamy three-way, there’s more to the Queen City dining scene than chili and cheese topped spaghetti. Tucked away in unexpected places are hot new bistros and uber-cozy cafes. Cincy diners feast not only on gourmet burgers, but also high-flying Italian, farm-to-table American, and contemporary Cuban. Locals know to hit Northside’s Blue Jay for breakfast, downtown’s Via Vite for dinner, and Newport’s Hofbrauhaus for a raucous good time. Feel free to have your chili, just leave room for the rest.
