Lexington is serving up culinary excellence. Condé Nast Traveler placed our city at the No. 4 spot on its 2024 list of the “Best Food Cities in the US.”
The ranking was created using the results from the annual Readers’ Choice Awards survey, which received 500,000+ votes. That means there are a lot of people with a palate for Kentucky cuisine, and we can see why.
The city was celebrated for having 10+ bourbon distilleries and being home to acclaimed chefs like Ouita Michel and Sam Fore. But that’s just a taste of Lexington’s offerings — there are many more ways to celebrate local flavors:
- Explore 30+ brunch restaurants where you can get a sweet or savory start to your day
