The 18 Best Restaurants in Louisville, Kentucky | Eater

"Any Louisville restaurant list would be incomplete without a mention of Jack Fry’s. Established in 1933 by Jack Fry and his wife Flossie, the bistro offers Southern-style cuisine with French influences and it has long served as a hangout for local sportsmen whose historic photos still hang on the restaurant walls. Today, bands play live music every Wednesday and Thursday while regulars enjoy beloved dishes like the ricotta gnocchi tossed in Calvados cream sauce with roasted mushrooms and broccolini; spicy fried oysters served over Weisenberger grits with country ham; and the prosciutto-wrapped chicken saltimbocca served over polenta and roasted Brussels sprouts, and finished with lemon-caper berry thyme jus. Best for: Jack Fry’s is a popular spot for celebrations and special occasions, including Valentine’s Day and Derby weekend." - Lennie Omalza
