Everyone knows Cincinnati is a city with seven hills, and those hills make for some pretty incredible views. Many restaurants in the Queen City have taken advantage of those views by positioning themselves atop a scenic hill. East Walnut Hills is one of those neighborhoods that has lovely river views, but they’re not very accessible to the public. Thankfully, the lovely French, beef-focused restaurant Le Bar a Boeuf is tucked away on this Cincinnati hill and the food is even more incredible than the views.
Le Bar a Boeuf is located in historic East Walnut Hills, at the top of a high rise residential building. It's an unexpected place, but once you reach it, you'll understand the choice. It's also very easy to access with convenient parking and noticeable signage outside.
The unique location of Le Bar a Boeuf is easy to understand once you step foot on the rooftop patio. On a nice day, you can clearly see the river valley and take in views that are not easily found in other parts of the city.
The interior of the restaurant is just as divine as the exterior with elegant decor and splashes of color and whimsy. It's upscale, yet comfortable, modern, and welcoming.
The restaurant was created by acclaimed Cincinnati Chef Jean-Robert de Cavel, who always delivers true dining destinations to the Queen City. Along with the endearing restaurant, beautiful views, and wonderful food, you can expect topnotch service as with all of his other eateries around town.
The focus of this French Neo-Bistro is beef and it's the highlight of the menu. You can create a beef creation of your liking, as shown below, or choose from many other options. The Beef Tartare is a unique and flavorful appetizer, and the mac & cheese with braised beef is also a delicious choice.
There are other options on the menu aside from beef, and each dish is presented beautifully and tastes even better. Seafood, duck, ham, salads, and much more find their way onto this French-inspired menu.
The pastry chef also prepares the most delightful desserts so you can finish your meal with something sweet. The entire dining experience at Le Bar a Boeuf is perfect for a date night, a special meal, or simply when you want to try something new.
The views and the menu both have near equal appeal when considering a visit to Le Bar a Boeuf. You know the food will be delicious, especially if you love beef, and the views top off a superb experience at this hidden Cincinnati restaurant.
Don’t let the fancy French name of Le Bar a Boeuf scare you away from this lovely restaurant. The food is divine and you can’t beat the views from both the patio or the enchanting dining room. Have you dined at this unique spot in Cincinnati? Share your thoughts with us in the comments!
