The 18 Best Restaurants in Louisville, Kentucky | Eater

"Shelby Park is home to quite a few of Louisville’s most interesting restaurants: Shahar, one of the last-standing vegan eateries; Nook and Nowhere, the city’s only bookstore bar and cafe; and Perso. At the last, owner Emil David draws inspiration from the flavors he grew up with in Pampanga, the culinary capital of the Philippines, and blends them with Roman-style favorites. Dishes include everything from duck confit to rabbit puttanesca, and the chef’s table is a true highlight. Know before you go: A speakeasy-style garden bar, dubbed Segretto, is open from March through October and accessible only through the restaurant." - Lennie Omalza
