Erika's
and the Gasthaus
German restaurants (it's a tie) Le Relais Favorite French Restaurant at Bowman Field Airport HangarAn atmosphere for any occasion, this restaurant has the warmth of a Parisian cafè, with the elegance of Louisville's finest restaurants. This ambiance makes it great for a quiet, mid-week gathering with clients, girlfriends and neighbors while maintaining the superior level of service and cuisine normally reserved for special occasions and Saturday night full course dinners. The crab cakes and crème brulèe won the coveted Best of Louisville award and the wine and cheese selection is fabulous. I recommend both the salmon appetizer and entree. I will be returning for the jazz nights Wednesdays and Sundays- and for the chocolate mousse. This is my favorite place to go for cheese and wine and conversation.Call for reservations 451.9020. Closed Mondays.
Bucks Favorite Steak Restaurant at 5th and OrmsbyThe steak here is the only place I go and don't even look at the other items on the menu. Try the New York strip. Small, quiet and romantic, you can go to chains and get the chain-steakhouse-vibe anywhere. But the ambiance and the service here are uniquely Louisville. It's in the old Mayflower Hotel in Old Louisville near Central Park.Jeff Ruby's Favorite Martini and Piano BarFun crowd, good wait staff - fabulous martinis. At the corner of 4th and Main Street, connected to the Galt House. The walls are colorful and decked out in a 1920's fun spirit. The ahi tuna dish is fabulous.
A great spot in the Lyndon Area tucked away in a shopping center called The Corner Cafe. The desserts are fantastic also, made by Desserts By Helen. Try the Chocolate Truffle Cake and the Key Lime Pie. All of the subs, pizza, pastas and salads at our table were delightful. 426-8119 Eva Mae's Creekside on Lower River Road Favorite Place to Casually Relax by the Water A wonderful place to sit on the back porch and have a delicious fish sandwich while watching the water. 228-2882
READERS REVIEWS: "Heidi, I think Tijuana Flats in Prospect is great for a first date. The restaurant has a fun, casual atmosphere. They play good music. The food is great and there is a hot sauce bar to make your burritos as spicy as you like it." - Sarah P, Louisville "Hi Heidi, I think your readers should try The Grapeleaf in Crescent Hill. It has Mediterranean cuisine that you can't find anywhere else. It's definitely somewhere I would take a business lunch or a friend for dinner." - Holly T., Hurstbourne Area "Captains Quarters is the only place to go on summer Sunday afternoons for a great view of the River and a fun atmosphere with good food. I like the Bar B Que pizza and fish sandwich" - Teddy A., Audubon Park "Anybody who is moving to Louisville has to eat the Frickled Pickles at Ginny's Diner on Frankfort Avenue. It's practically a right of passage." - Kent A., Louisville East End "The Douglass Loop intersection in the Highlands has everything you need: Heine Brothers coffee, Graeters Ice Cream and Fat Jimmy's Pizza. Why go anywhere else?" Kevin S., Highlands "Basa is always good." Chris B. |

Is
it too early to start talking about Kentucky Derby 2008? Not a bit.
Here is my Derby hat from last year. I found it online. There are some great hat shops in Louisville. Most of them are in St. Matthews, on Hurstbourne, or at the Summitt shopping mall.
If you have not been to Derby, you must go this year. It is the most fun, decked out, dressed up, loud, excited, fast paced event you'll ever attend.
Derby is always the first Saturday of May.
The Derby festivities, like Thunder Over Louisville 2008, begin 2 weeks before Derby. Thunder is also on a Saturday. Thunder Over Louisville is an air show during the day and fireworks at night.
Hotels and restaurants fill up FAST during Derby Week. So call now for next year's dates.
