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."
Cincinnati's Current Favorite Restaurants in no particular order:
 NEW RESTAURANT ALERT! 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.
HONEY Fabulous New Restaurant! Eclectic menu. They opened last year
in the old BOCA location, a block East of the Feldenkrais center. This restaurant is our pick for 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!
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!
SIDEWINDERS coffee house on Hamilton close to Pot Luck. Best coffee in Cincinnati!
Why patronize the corporate coffee chains when you can
a)help promote small business and
b)enjoy the best coffee ever!
Northside has ample parking areas!
GAJAH WONG WEST
Too busy for that trip to Indonesia this winter? Craig and Ru bring
Indonesia to you! Enjoy the flavors of the old Spice Routes that lead to Indonesia,
the old Spice Islands. Join us for flavorful food prepared in the traditional Indonesian style,
spirited cocktails, specialty mixed drinks, and a large assortment of non-alcoholic beverages
and espresso coffee drinks. Relax in a warm atmosphere furnished in Indonesian imports and
softly lit by onyx lamps. Relax and socialize in woven water hyacinth couches and chairs.
(We are currently having a clearance sale on the remaining furniture items.) Seating
from 5:30 PM Wednesday through Saturday. Closed on Sunday and Monday but available for private affairs during
this time. Reservations requested for parties of 6 or more.
For questions or reservations, please call (513) 591-3935 or (513) 602-7949 Gajah Wong West,
37 Spring Grove Ave. Next to the BP on Knowlton's Corner. Please do not park in the BP parking lot. They tow.
Stop Press Update! Gajah Wong West now has a beer and wine license.
Catch TOTEMS, a world-music group with fabulous sounds, on special nights at Gajah Wong. Check their website
Totemsworldmusic.com to hear their exciting sound.
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. THE place to hang out in Northside.
THE HIDEAWAY, 4163 Hamilton Avenue. Great food and cozy atmosphere.
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.
Another beautiful day in Northside!
