Where to eat:

🍽️ The Grape Leaf

Where: 2217 Frankfort Ave, Louisville, KY
When: Open Wednesday–Monday, 11:00 AM–8:00 PM (Closed Tuesdays)
Menu: G

The Grape Leaf is a small Mediterranean restaurant in Louisville’s Clifton area. It’s been around for over 30 years and is known for making fresh food using simple, real ingredients. They have plenty of choices, including vegetarian meals and dishes without oil.

What makes it good:
The space is cozy, with both indoor and outdoor tables. The staff is friendly, and the food comes out hot and well-seasoned. It’s a good place to bring the family or meet up with friends for a relaxed meal.

Try this:
The Filet Mignon Kabob is a solid pick. It’s grilled steak served with seasoned vegetables and a cool yogurt sauce called tzatziki. It’s tasty without being too heavy, and if you like steak will probably enjoy it too.

Have a great weekend!
Pat.
