I eat at Zim's at least once a week! It is located in the recently restored Historic Courthouse between Main and Short Street. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and a bakery. Ouita Michel is THE quintessential Kentucky chef and restaurateur (and a good friend!) and Zim's is named after her grandfather.

Good luck getting in for brunch on the weekends! But so worth it when you do. Carson's is a quick walk just across Main street to delicious food. We've found all of the food is incredibly filling and dare I say...heavy? Not the place for a light meal by any means. Think horse-country-style decadence!

Full disclosure--this is my restaurant! We serve salads, soups, and house-made lemonades in a quick-serve setting. It can be hard to find wholesome food while traveling so if you need something light, check it out! Vinaigrette is located in the Square near Triangle Park.
