The Cincinnati Art Museum is a world-renowned attraction in Ohio that attracts art lovers from across the Midwest.

Perusing a collection of some 67,000 works of art chronicling 6,000 years of human creativity is bound to work up an appetite. Luckily, there's a wonderful restaurant located at the Cincinnati Art Museum: The Terrace Café.

Open Tuesday-Sunday (view the exact hours on the restaurant's website), The Terrace Café offers a full menu with a variety of soups, salads, and sandwiches inspired by works in the museum's celebrated collection.

While art museums can often be viewed as buttoned-up and a bit intimidating, The Terrace Café boasts a menu that's decidedly rustic and informal: simple sandwiches served with potato chips, classic charcuterie boards, and an assortment of pastries. The Terrace Club is a menu favorite, featuring Applewood smoked ham, smoked turkey, bacon, sharp white cheddar, house-made guacamole, chipotle aioli, lettuce, and tomato, all on perfectly toasted multigrain bread.

Visitors can opt to dine indoors, surrounded by beautiful artwork and picture windows...

...but we're partial to dining outdoors, on the namesake terrace!

Out here, you'll enjoy views of the Cincinnati Art Museum’s pristine Alice Bimel Courtyard, which in our humble opinion, makes this restaurant the perfect way to end an art-filled visit to the Cincinnati Art Museum.
