Ramsi's Cafe On The World · Highlands
Jerusalem born owner Ramsi Kamar opened this Bardstown Road room in 1994 and has been feeding the Highlands ever since. The menu wanders the Mediterranean basin and well past it, and close to half of it is vegetarian. Art covers the walls, the patio stays busy in warm weather, and the kitchen serves late by Louisville standards.
Guaca Mole Modern Mexican · Ormsby Station
Opened in 2012 by the restaurateurs behind Havana Rumba, and reviewed by LEO Weekly's Robin Garr. Guacamole is mashed to order in the molcajete, and the elotes callejeros come straight off the grill with lime and cotija. The room sits out at Ormsby Station and draws a suburban crowd that keeps the patio full through the summer.
Nachbar · Germantown
A corner bar on Charles Street dating to the 1930s, with a deep international beer list and a patio that hosts live jazz. LEO covered it among Germantown's craft beer rooms, though the appeal is as much the room as the list: dark, worn in, and entirely uninterested in being fashionable.
