Several fantastic chefs, including Anthony Lamas, Alison Settle, and Edward Lee, live and work in Kentucky. I love visiting their award-winning restaurants to enjoy their food, which is as much art and experience as sustenance. Among these culinary icons is Dallas McGarity, the chef and owner of the Fat Lamb Modern Kitchen and Bar. Since opening in 2016, the eatery has earned its place as one of the best restaurants in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Fat Lamb is a modern American restaurant located in the Highlands neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. The chef and restaurant have received several impressive awards.
Dallas McGarity was named one of the 2024 James Beard Award Semifinalists for Best Chef: Southeast. McGarity also won the Food Network's "Chopped" competition in 2019.
The dinner menu features several mouthwatering starters, such as baked goat cheese and pita bread, fried artichokes, and truffle fries.
Doesn’t this appetizer look absolutely delicious?
Don't fill up on appetizers, as there are many unique entrees to choose from.
The menu includes pork tenderloin, ricotta gnocchi, and braised short ribs. If the restaurant's name has you in the mood for lamb, the Smoked Paprika and Five Spice Lamb Chops may be the perfect choice.
Desserts include key lime tart, a warm blondie, and bourbon pecan pie—each sounds more delicious than the next!
The family-friendly restaurant offers a kids' menu with a cheeseburger, chicken tenders, and grilled cheese.
The cocktails at the Fat Lamb Modern Kitchen and Bar are as beautiful as they are tasty.
