The holidays are over and the new year is in full swing, what now? Now would be a good time to step out of the box and try something new! Losing weight, exercising and eating healthy are always the popular resolutions; most of us slip up when it comes to dining out. Resolve to make smart dining choices at home and out socializing. Here are the top five local spots to try that will satisfy your taste buds and your waistline with fresh local ingredients!
1. The Mayan Café- To celebrate their fifth anniversary, a new menu will be featured starting January 18th. With their “farm to table” concept, their fusion of local foods and Mayan cuisine offer a unique dining experience that will keep you coming back for more!
2. Rye On Market- This brand new NuLu district restaurant is already cooking up some notable buzz! Not only does the menu focus on local ingredients but the late night hours cater to the night owls out there!
3. Harvest Restaurant- Serving lunch, dinner and brunch on the weekends you can make sure to partake in local ingredients at anytime! The drink menu even offers local bourbons and several drinks made with local seasonal ingredients.
4. Cake Flour- For the dessert lover, change the game up and partake in this natural bakery. Daily specials make this bakery hard to resist! Having sensitivity to allergies and dietary restrictions by using all natural organic ingredients and European methods, there’s no need to choose between health and taste!
5. Heart & Soy/Roots- Although these companion Asian restaurants are at the same location, they differ in menu choices. For an upscale vegetarian experience, Roots provides soups, salads, main dishes and a wide array of teas. Heart & Soy has Kentucky’s only tofu manufacturing machine and some classics like Pad Thai and Pot stickers, with both restaurants having many vegan options.
So eat, drink, and be local!
