V-Grits opened three months ago with a bang, and it's been a happening place in Germantown ever since. This restaurant's owners did a lot of things right from the get go. They started out with a food truck, provided a high-quality product, and got their name out there. They built up a clientele that would... Continue Reading →
Little Jerusalem is a little oasis
If you don't live in Okolona, Kentucky, Little Jerusalem might be a little pilgrimage. But it is well worth it. Located in what was once a single family home off the Outer Loop, this gem of a restaurant offers many delicious options for Louisville's vegetarians and vegans. The lentil soup, laced with lemon juice, was... Continue Reading →
Shreeji, the White Castle of Indian Restaurants
I had high expectations of Shreeji, the newest vegetarian restaurant in Louisville. Hindus and other Indians have developed a great vegetarian cuisine. After all, they've had centuries of religious strictures against meat eating to work on their recipes. But Shreeji was a disappointment on a number of levels.
Underwhelmed at Bar Vetti
I was really excited to go to Bar Vetti because the Google Maps reviews made it sound like THE place to go. We entered through a lobby that smells like a swimming pool. Unless there is actually a pool in the building, they need to back peddle on the bleach. The best thing about the... Continue Reading →
Blissfully vegetarian at Havana Rumba
Just because I'm going vegetarian doesn't mean I'm going to live like a monk. So Havana Rumba is the ticket when I want a good vegetarian meal without the deprivation. It had been one of those days that screams for the immediate sedation of a margarita. And, luckily, it was happy hour, so I scored... Continue Reading →
Decadently vegan at Ramsi’s Cafe on the World
To call Ramsi's Cafe on the World a cafe is something of an understatement. It's more of a palace. Lavish art work accents the high ceilings. There's a huge, floor-to-ceiling bookshelf. On the way to the parking lot, we saw a toppled statue and some palatial doors that seem to have been abandoned. The place... Continue Reading →
Dinner by the fire at Gordon Biersch Brewery
Gordon Biersch Brewery and Restaurant turned out to be the answer. The wind was kicking up and the evening was turning cool. But I still wanted to have dinner outside on a beautiful sunny day in Louisville. And, as usual, I wanted to eat mostly vegetables. So we ended up at Gordon Biersch Brewery, prominently located...

Falafel House: Best vegan food for your Louisville dollars
We entered hungry, and left only $25 lighter (including tax and tip). I had the veggie plate which is a fabulous assortment of hummus, baba ganoush, dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with seasoned rice), a green salad, and three falafels. The veggie plate is, in my opinion, the most beautifully presented thing at Falafel House. It's... Continue Reading →
Salad for breakfast
Flying El Al to Israel a few years ago, I was a little surprised when I saw a green salad on the breakfast menu. I thought it must be a mistake. But faced with the alternative of rubber eggs and bread made from library paste, or some god-awful pastry made entirely of sugar, white... Continue Reading →
