When it comes to the Columbus restaurant scene, no one knows it better than local food bloggers. So, we talked with local experts, and they dished out some tasty insight.
If friends are visiting, what’s one restaurant you recommend they try?
“Comune. The menu is so thoughtful and creative, and I enjoy their wine selection. I love that the dishes are shareable, which gives the opportunity to try so much more. Bonus that it’s next door to Parsons for a before or after dinner beer.” — @eatpour614
“Rooh. It’s a more modern Indian cuisine, but every dish I’ve had is an explosion of flavors in my mouth. Everything from their cocktails to their entrees is so unique.” — @alexa__eats

What is your favorite brunch spot?
“Valter’s at the Maennerchor. I love to start with an order of his wings for an appetizer then I either get the hangover skillet or sometimes I’ll mix it up and order the pancakes. It has fun cocktails and good coffee.” — @614feast
“Skillet. I love the old, charming vibes.” — @alexa__eats
What restaurant makes the most Instagrammable cocktails?
