The 19 Best Restaurants In Columbus, Ohio - Columbus - The Infatuation

"It’s always a good time of year to eat at this upscale bistro. During the summer, everyone wants a seat on the large leafy patio (it’s first come, first served). When it’s cold out, the cobblestone streets, copper bar, tin-tiled ceiling, and red-leather banquettes are the perfect setting for dinner with your parents before seeing The Nutcracker. Servers still wear ties and the menu is made up of beloved bistro dishes: french onion soup, beef carpaccio, and delicate angel hair pasta with shrimp in a spicy Cajun cream sauce. Take a picture outside the historic front entrance on the corner of Beck and Mohawk—the valet guys won’t judge." - erin edwards, kindra peach

"A walk down the historic cobblestoned streets of German Village leads you to the front doors of Lindey’s, a classy piece of culinary history. Envisioned by Sue Doody back in 1981, the restaurant has remained a Columbus landmark for decades by serving up elegance on a platter. Classic dishes include the Georges Bank cod layered with sweet corn puree paired with marbled potatoes, brined duroc pork topped with caramelized pear and apple chutney, and tournedos of beef dressed in bearnaise. Whether you’re visiting for a first date, your 50th anniversary, or a quiet dinner out, you’ll leave Lindey’s telling friends and colleagues about the restaurant in hushed, reverent tones." - Angela Lee

A German Village classic with white-tablecloth polish, Lindey’s turns out a refined weekend brunch—think eggs Benedict, croque madame, and beignets—on one of the city’s favorite patios. Recognized on OpenTable’s Top 100 Brunch Restaurants in America and a frequent Columbus Underground favorite, it’s a quintessential Columbus experience.
