Nothing in Louisville reminds me of Paris like the inside of Wiltshire Bakery on Barret Street. You can agonize for minutes at a time, trying to choose between the croque monsieur, the spinach and mushroom croissant, and other delicacies. I got my head turned by this galette, but remained faithful to the quiche. On a... Continue Reading →
Return to Cafe Classico
Is there any vegan delight better than a glass of red wine and some really well cooked French fries? Technically, these are pommes frites, served standing up, with three different sauces. A bouquet of French fries. This is the way I start any lunch at Cafe Classico, my favorite Louisville restaurant. Cafe Classico offers a... Continue Reading →

Lunch at El Nopal: Cheap, fast, and good
Vegetarians can cobble together a good meal at almost any Mexican restaurant. The traditional ingredients in Mexican American cuisine: corn, tomatoes, avocado, onions, beans, and rice, come together a lot of different ways to provide balanced protein and other essential nutrients. Our go to Mexican diner is El Nopal, a regional chain which is expanding... Continue Reading →
Lunch at Eiderdown
Traditional German cuisine doesn't offer a lot to vegetarians. When a girl in a dirndl is coming your way with a plate of food, it is usually brat or wurst. Luckily, Eiderdown, on Goss Street in Louisville's Germantown neighborhood, is not entirely traditional. Eiderdown is, in fact, very friendly to its vegetarian customers. A modest...

We started with the war fries and roasted carrot salad. The war fries are modeled on the Dutch tradition of serving French fries with peanut sauce, mayonnaise,... Continue Reading →
Fabulously faux at Red Yeti
Arguably, Louisville's best veggie burger is in Indiana. I'm talking about the Red Yeti on Spring Street in Jeffersonville. Yes, Google maps, it's easy to locate in normal traffic. The owner's sense of whimsy extends to clever dish naming. The vegetarian burger, for instance, is called a fauxhawk. Served with macaroni and cheese, this is... Continue Reading →
Dope lunch at Morels
I confess to being a little unnerved when I walked into Morels and saw the neon “future is fake” sign. I would have said the future is very real food that you grow in your own backyard. Or buy from a farmer’s market or fresh stop. That said, and setting vegetarian philosophies aside, lunch at... Continue Reading →
Naïve is pretty crafty

The bright digs and cleverly crafted, light cuisine have already won a loyal following in Louisville’s midtown. Trendy crowd here Naïve is basically a... Continue Reading →
Booze and compassion at V-Grits
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 →
