The Best Restaurants in Ohio City and Tremont
Jonathan Barlow
The Renaissance
Cleveland's food scene has undergone a transformation that rivals any mid-market city in America. The epicenter is two neighborhoods on the West Side: Ohio City and Tremont.
Dante — Tremont
Chef Dante Boccuzzi's flagship. New American with Italian and Asian influences. The tasting menu is ambitious and consistently delivers. The sushi bar in the back is a hidden gem within a hidden gem.
Larder Delicatessen & Bakery — Ohio City
Jeremy Umansky's fermentation-forward deli. The pastrami is dry-aged and house-cured. The bread is baked daily. The pickles are unlike anything you've had. James Beard recognized, genuinely original.
Lola Bistro — Downtown (Tremont roots)
Michael Symon's flagship put Cleveland dining on the map. The pierogi with braised short ribs is the signature dish for a reason. The patio in summer is one of the best dining experiences in the Midwest.
Soho Kitchen & Bar — Ohio City
Small plates, craft cocktails, and a neighborhood energy that makes every dinner feel like a celebration. The charcuterie board is the move for groups.
Cleveland eats better than cities three times its size. Ohio City and Tremont are the proof.
