CINCY FOR FOODIES

WHAT MAKES CINCY’S CULINARY SCENE SO UNIQUE?

A mash-up of cultures has created a dynamic food scene in the Cincy Region. Our world-famous Cincinnati Chili — served on top of spaghetti with mounds of fluffy shredded cheese — originated from Greek and Macedonian immigrants. We also pay homage to our German immigrant roots in our beloved Goetta, a pudding of ground meats, oats and spices that we cut and fry. We even have an entire festival dedicated to variations of Goetta, Glier’s Goettafest, in late July and early August. Southern food trends are also a menu staple, with many restaurants boasting the best fried chicken in the South. One thing’s for sure... no one leaves hungry!

Tell Us About The Range Of Culinary Experiences

From high-end dining experiences such as Boca, Sotto and Bouquet to some of the most unique hole-in-the-wall diners serving tasty American favourites, food and the sharing of a meal is a big tradition in the Cincy Region.

As the start point of the Kentucky Bourbon experience, Cincy also showcases the making of America’s Native Spirit at many unique bourbon-themed restaurants on Northern Kentucky bourbon trail, The B-Line. We also host a number of food festivals from the epic Taste of Cincinnati in late May to the USA’s largest Oktoberfest in mid-September.

WHAT IS A MUST TRY FOR VISITORS WHEN THEY VISIT?

Get an overview of our home-grown goodies at Findlay Market, one of America’s longest operating food halls, in Cincy’s OverThe-Rhine neighbourhood. For a local experience, head to one of the 300 chilli parlors for a three-way dish of Cincinnati chili, spaghetti and cheese, or make it a four-way by adding onions or beans. Partner this with one of the 80+ breweries in the region such as Taft’s Ale House in downtown or Braxton Brewing in Covington. Always wrap your meal up with a visit to Graeter’s Ice Cream, who have been making their French Pot treats since 1870. Cincy-born George Clooney and Sarah Jessica Parker love the Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip.
