 Bourbon Street Barrel Room
2393 Professor Ave., Cleveland
With the perfect mix of eccentric and classy decor, this Tremont spot has the right ambience for the type of place it is - a slice of New Orleans in Cleveland. And the bourbon list is extensive, naturally. Soul-satisfying dishes like gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish etouffe, barbecue shrimp, and red beans and rice will transport you to the bayou. And the bourbon list is extensive, naturally.

Saffron Patch
20126 Chagrin Blvd., Shaker Heights
This unassuming Indian joint in a strip center in Shaker Heights may very well have the best Indian food in town. The chicken tikka masala is to die for, the onion kulcha is naan on crack, the paneer palak melts in your mouth and taking out from here is just as good as eating in.

 Jo Jo Carloni’s 
26926 Cook Rd., Olmsted Township
Despite its zip code, the snug space has all the Old World charm of our favorite spag-and-ball joints in Little Italy, where descriptors like "gourmet" and "trendy" are replaced by "hearty" and "comforting" and "I can't believe I ate the whole thing." This spot is definitely worth the drive.

 Seven Roses
6301 Fleet Ave., Cleveland
Even in a city with many citizens with ancestors coming from Poland, it’s hard to find a ton of restaurants offering the cuisine. This Slavic Village diner not only offers good Polish food but they also offer it buffet style for lunch during the week and the kielbasa and pierogies are some of the best around.

 Salted Dough 
9174 Broadview Rd., Broadview Heights
Pizza. The classic takeout dish. And Broadview Heights’ Salted Dough knocks it out of the park. The rest of the menu, highlighted by the gnocchi, meatballs, Brussels sprouts and charcuterie board is just as good. Try this place.

 Deagan’s Kitchen and Bar
14810 Detroit Ave., Lakewood
Deagan’s has some of the best burgers in town, their fries are on point and almost everything on the menu is shareable. So if you’re one of those people that can never decide what to order, get Deagan’s with the whole family, order all the appetizers and small plates, and you get to sample most of the menu. The corn fritters and buttermilk fried chicken skins are some of our favorites.

 Banana Blossom Thai
2800 Clifton Ave., Cleveland
This 60+ item Thai menu will keep you coming back time and time again to try new things. But we highly recommend the house specialty hot and spicy crispy duck if you’re a first-timer and want the best item on the menu.

 Adega
2017 East Ninth St., Cleveland
This modern Mediterranean joint may be known for being one of the coolest designed places in town but that doesn’t mean you should sleep on the food. Being located at the Metropolitan hotel/the Nine, downtown’s swankiest residence, makes it not just beautiful decor, but the food is always creative and delicious as well.

 Sichuan Hot Pot
2162 Rockwell Ave., Cleveland 
Just when you think that Cleveland's Chinese restaurant scene can't possibly get any better, when stalwarts like Siam Cafe, Li Wah and Szechuan Gourmet are joined by thrilling additions such as Han Chinese and LJ Shanghai, along comes Sichuan Hot Pot to gobble up some of the attention. And deservedly so, as die-hard fans of tongue-tingling Szechuan cuisine can't seem to stay away from the relative newcomer.

Just when you think that Cleveland's Chinese restaurant scene can't possibly get any better, when stalwarts like Siam Cafe, Li Wah and Szechuan Gourmet are joined by thrilling additions such as Han Chinese and LJ Shanghai, along comes Sichuan Hot Pot to gobble up some of the attention. And deservedly so, as die-hard fans of tongue-tingling Szechuan cuisine can't seem to stay away from the relative newcomer.
