Benevolence Cafe |
|
(Restaurants - Lunch) |
|
41 W Swan St, Columbus 43214 • 614-221-9330 |
|
|
| |
Description:
SHORT NORTH. In the artsy Short North district, this vegetarian café offers a peaceful sanctuary from the bustle of city life. The premise is simple-healthy food made from scratch daily and served on rustic community tables. But the hearty soups such as Gypsy vegetable, dense homemade breads such as Grains of the Goddess, and heaping salad plates ensure that simplicity won't leave you hungry for flavor. Top it all off with some of the best cookies, cakes and cinnamon rolls in the city. |

Blue Danube |

(Restaurants - Lunch) |

2439 N High St, Columbus 43202 • 614-261-9308 |
|
|
| |
Description:
Not a lot has changed at "the Dube" since it made its debut on the Columbus restaurant scene back in the 1940s. But the draw for a mixed crowd from professor-types and students from Ohio State University, to families is the food. Reasonable prices and well-portioned sandwiches, pizza, burgers and salads, plus plenty of Greek specialties keep them coming back. The bonus: it stays open late, and the jukebox is great! |

Broad Street Bagels and Deli |

(Restaurants - Lunch) |

66 East Broad St, Columbus 43215 • 614-224-3596 |
|
|
| |
Description:
A steady stream of downtown and Statehouse workers file in to this establishment that serves bagels of every type, from cranberry orange to spinach. To compete with the chains, the independent owner offers wonderfully priced bagels and charges just a little more to add toppings such as peanut butter, hummus, or various cream cheeses. Eat on the run or sit at the bar and people watch. Come back for lunch and you can choose your salad ingredients from an extensive salad case – a server will then toss your selections for you in a big silver bowl. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. This brewpub stands out for its great food, as well as its beer selection. The dishes on the menu were developed to compliment a variety of handcrafted beers. Pizzas from the wood-fired oven work with the lighter ales, while the chef recommends nut-encrusted fresh catch to go with the popular Nut Brown Ale. When the weather warrants, outdoor dining draws the after-work crowd. Casual attire is fine. |

Description:
GERMAN VILLAGE.. Why has this coffee house been rated #1 in Columbus? Because it's a great spot to relax in comfy couches and plush velvet seats as you sip on a fine cup of brew, munch on fruit filled croissants, and listen to jazz. Gourmet coffee isn't shipped in, it's roasted in-house daily. They've also made a name for themselves with desserts such as Chocolate Suicide and Luscious Lemon Cheesecake. Oh, by the way, the art on the walls is for sale! |

Elevator Brewery and Draught Haus |
|
(Restaurants - Lunch) |
|
161 N High St between E Chestnut and E Nationwide, Columbus 43215 • 614-228-0500 |
|
|
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. This restaurant and brewery, located on popular High Street, is a registered historical landmark that was built in 1897. It's easy to spot thanks to its turn-of-the-century, multicolored, Art Deco elevator façade. Inside, ornate ceilings, tile floors and polished banquettes add a sense of nostalgia. Finer dining occurs in the back with patrons enjoying house specialties such as jambalaya, steak frites and Pan-Seared Walleye. A rowdier crowd congregates at the front and enjoys house brews such as Procrastinator Dopplebock, a dark lager that makes you want to put everything else off until tomorrow. |
