26 New Cincinnati Restaurants You Need to Try in 2018

West Side versus East Side, Skyline versus everything else — there are quite a few subjects that Cincinnati just can’t seem to agree on. But no matter what neighborhood you call home, where you went to high school or what you think of the streetcar, there’s one commonality all Cincinnatians share: We love to eat.  And it seems as though a new diner, bakery or takeaway joint opens up here every other day. (Lucky us.) There’s no arguing that the Queen City has quickly become foodie heaven. From additional locations of tried-and-true favorites to brand new spots to score everything from ramen to gluten-free pastries, check out all of the latest additions to the Greater Cincinnati food scene that have opened in the past year.
