AMAZING PLACES TO EAT IN COLUMBUS
The center of the aviation industry in Ohio and the Midwest, Columbus has attracted people from many different cultures. As a result, the city’s dining scene is an eclectic fusion of local tradition and international flavor. These five must-try restaurants define Columbus' culinary culture, from laid-back bistros and cafes to innovative food served in luxury settings.
Harvest Pizza
Harvest Pizza is my favorite pizza in Columbus! In addition to pizza, you’ll find small plates, salads, burgers, and sandwiches, but the star is the pizza! They feature lots of local ingredients because “Local Tastes Better”! Harvest Pizzeria first opened its doors in German Village with the mission to provide guests with the freshest, tastiest food possible through partnering with local farmers to nourish the community. The commitment to freshness, community, and quality took hold, and the small pizza shop developed a considerable following. Harvest has since grown to a family of six restaurants.

You will love everything about this restaurant. The vibe and atmosphere are very fun and welcoming. The menu features healthy and fresh options. The portions are very large, so it is worth the price for the quality and size. The employees are all kind and courteous. We highly recommend this cafe.

SCHMIDT'S
This iconic German Village restaurant is the perfect place to celebrate with others. For five generations, they have been serving authentic German food. The sausage has become so famous that the Bahama Mama has been voted the official food of Columbus, and the building is registered as a historic landmark. Come take a trip around the Autobahn Buffet, or if you want something other than sausage, try one of their traditional German dinners. Of course, you can have one of their half-pound jumbo cream puffs for dessert.
