James Beard Restaurants in Louisville
Six Louisville spots carry James Beard recognition. No wins, but two finalists lead the way.
MeeshMeesh Mediterranean, a 2025 Finalist in NuLu, and 610 Magnolia, a 2017 Finalist in Old Louisville, top the badge count. The rest are semifinalists spanning 2018 to 2024, from North of Bourbon in Germantown to Seviche in The Highlands. Recognition isn't our rating — this list runs from Damn Good down to On the Radar, and the medals don't change where a place lands.
