The 8 Cleveland Restaurants You Should Be Eating At Right Now

Dining out in Cleveland, you can’t help but get a history lesson of the city itself. Located on the Cuyahoga River, the city grew into an industrial metropolis in the late 19th century and has long been known to embrace immigrants—and Cleveland’s culinary scene is far richer for it.

That means you’ll find traditional Brazilian food like hearty stews and cheesy bread, Eastern European-inspired fare from a celebrity chef at a barbecue destination, and classic French dishes at a restaurant that gives back to the community in a big way.

Fahrenheit (Downtown)

For the new downtown location of Fahrenheit, which opened last year, celebrated Cleveland chef Rocco Whalen didn’t hold back. The two-story New American restaurant is a looker with a sophisticated vibe—check out the massive glass-wall-encased wine rack as you head upstairs to the dining room and rooftop patio. The menu matches the impressive setting, and dishes like the hot seafood sampler tower and ahi poke nachos have become favorites. BOOK NOW
