It’s Not Hard To See Why This Mouthwatering Cincinnati Restaurant Was Named A Must-Try Destination

Cincinnati has so many good restaurants that there is really something for everyone around every street corner, both downtown and in the surrounding suburbs. One newer eatery on Race Street downtown was recently named one of 9 "must-try's" in the city and we couldn't agree more. Maplewood Kitchen and Bar has a fresh approach to both food and the dining experience, making it a restaurant in Cincinnati that you really should try.

Maplewood Kitchen and Bar sits on Race Street downtown, not far from Fountain Square.

They describe themselves as a "West coast cafe in the heart of Cincinnati's urban core," which is really the perfect way to explain this delightful dining spot. The atmosphere and food are unlike any other restaurant in the city.

The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, seven days a week, and is a casual and welcoming place for any meal of the day.

When you walk in the door, you'll enter a line where you will find menus hanging on the wall. You order and pay at the counter and then take a seat while you wait for your meal. There is a waitstaff, but you can also get your own water and go ahead and leave when you're finished.

The food options at Maplewood are unique, fresh, and incredibly delicious.

On the brunch menu, you'll find Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, a top-notch Breakfast Sandwich with goetta, and countless other tasty choices.

If you visit at lunchtime, you can't go wrong with any number of their sandwiches, salads, and cold-pressed juices.

And dinner is special as well with beautifully created entrees and a plethora of cocktail and wine options.

The interior and atmosphere of Maplewood is what truly sets it apart.

It's light and airy, comfortable, and cheery. If you can grab a table by the large windows, you'll feel as if you're dining al fresco. But no matter which table you sit at or what you order, you'll surely enjoy your dining experience at this must-try Cincinnati restaurant.
