CIncinnati's best kept secret:
Cincinnati Magazine Pick: Six of the finest restaurants in Cincinnati are located in Northside!
Click here for maps and directions to Northside
Hamilton Avenue, Northside's beautiful main street.
Cincinnati Magazine Best Restaurant Picks (March 2007 issue) lists "Best Restaurant Blocks:
Slims, Honey, Gahah Wong West, The Hideaway, The Blue Jay, and Melt hovering around Hamilton Avenue in Northside."
Tango Cincinnati's Current Favorite Restaurants in no particular order:
 NEW JAPANESE RESTAURANT IN NORTHSIDE! KoSho.
Another incredible restaurant moves to Northside to join the illustrious parade of amazing restaurants along Hamilton Avenue! KoSho offers more than just Sushi--discover fine Japanese meals and soups served in a traditional fashion. Public parking is available immediately behind the restaurant.
Fabulous new Indian restaurant! DUSMESH, 944 Ludlow Avenue, 221-8900, at the bottom of Clifton
Avenue near the police station, across from Cincinnati State. We were impressed by the luncheon buffet - the best Indian buffet we have ever tasted in Cincinnati! Vegetarian selections! DUSMESH opened
at the old location of the Indian Palace, which went out of business after five years. The kitchen and dining area were completely renovated by the new owners and the new menu is very large.
They are offering specials for a limited time to encourage customers to return to this location and experience a totally new restaurant.
Be sure and visit this great new restaurant!
SLIM'S at 4046 Hamilton Avenue, at the corner of Blue Rock and Hamilton. (513) 681-6500. Widely acclaimed as one of the best restaurants in Cincinnati--some say the best. You just need to try it to verify that it really is that good. The menu changes weekly to keep their cooks and regular customers engaged and inspired. $45 pre-fixe menu with specials on certain days. See the website at http://slimsrestaurant.com/ for details.
PORTOFINO, 1609 Chase Avenue, 542-5858, half a block from the corner of
Hamilton and Chase. Greek and Italian deli items, Middle Eastern specialities and pizzas. Vegetarian selections!
Be sure and visit this great new restaurant!
MELT
Next to Northside Tavern. Vegetarian sandwiches. Some meat for you carnivores. Really great sandwiches!
We are listing this one first because we dine here so often and are always surprised by the variety of
the menu, the quality of the menu, and how much it changes. The world's only curry ice-cream
can sometimes be had here. See www.meltcincy.com for details.
HONEY Fabulous Restaurant! Eclectic menu. They opened a couple of years ago
in the old BOCA location, a block East of the Feldenkrais center. This restaurant is our pick for one of the best in Cincinnati, and we are sure it will be earning all the
appropriate awards and accolades soon! Call for a reservation as they are usually packed! Moderately priced. The Enquirer food editor has already given it a top-rated review! HoneyRestaurant.com.
THE COMET, 4579 Hamilton Ave (one mile West up Hamilton Avenue towards College Hill).
A cool place for casual dining or drinks. Best Burritos in the city of Cincinnati! TheCometBar.com
SIDEWINDERS, coffee house on Hamilton close to Norhside Tavern.
Sidewinders seems to have set a new standard for coffee shops to beat. The interior is inviting and interesting art always hangs on the walls. The menu includes five-star coffee, good teas and good food. There are even vegetarian selections. If you really want to take in the atmosphere , go when they have music in the back room. The courtyard is small and sweet. We heard the Noyse Merchants perform early music there and it was fabulous! Here's Sidewinders Website
Northside has ample parking areas!
NORTHSIDE TAVERN, 4163 Hamilton Avenue in Northside, received
Best of Cincinnati 2005 from Cincinnati Magazine. Not really a restaurant, but you can pick up food
next door at THE HIDEAWAY or at MELT and bring it in to eat with your beer. Great beer on tap. Bands start late on
weekends. GREAT AMBIENCE! This is the only tavern in Cincinnati that reminds us of pubs in Europe.
Doesn't have the slick, corporate look. You won't feel like a tourist, and sometimes the music will
knock your socks off. One night we found that Slavic Soul Party
had come from the heart of New York City to amaze and captivate everyone there. Totally changed our mind about what kind of
music you can play in a bar! In addition to occasional world-class entertainment,
Northside Tavern has truly great beer on tap. They also host classical string quartets playing Mozart and other favorites.THE place to hang out in Northside. NorthsideTavern.com.
THE HIDEAWAY, 4163 Hamilton Avenue. Great food and cozy atmosphere. The Hideaway serves generous portions of tasty, gourmet comfort food - and it's all very affordable. Right next to Northside Tavern. In fact, you can take your Tavern beer into The Hideaway, or your Hideaway food into the Tavern!
Spring just never ends in Northside!
More great restaurants in Northside:
KAY'S RESTAURANT, Spring Grove Avenue. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner Tuesday through Saturday,
Tuesday - Thursday: 7 am - 8 pm Friday and Saturday 7 am - 1 am. Just good old-fashioned food at good old-fashioned prices.
THE FIFTH AMENDMENT, 4114 Hamilton Avenue. Lunch, dinner, full bar, and live music on weedkends.
PARK CHILI PARLOR, 4160 Hamilton. Family owned and operated, this place has been here since 1937, and things haven't changed much. Great prices.
It definitely has the ambience of the 50's diners. You gotta experience it at least once!
BLUE JAY, 4154 Hamilton Avenue, 513-541-0847 (shown below). More good old American food at good old American prices. Our favorite to just sit and chat over egss and toast.
