LEO’s Reader Choice Awards are Published
Every year the LEO (The Louisville Eccentric Observer) polls it reader’s in various categories to see what the reader’s like the best. I perused the results and found that I agreed with many of my fellow readers’ opinions. To see the full results click here- LEO Readers Choice Winners.
Some of the categories and my choices…
CD/Music Store- ear X-tacy- There is not a more interesting place to browse and buy music in the city.
Video Store- Wild & Woolly Video- This is Louisville’s most unique video store with movies that you will not find anyplace else. If you like Samurai Theatre this is the place to go.
Health Food Store- Rainbow Blossom Natural Foods- This locally owned store only ranked number three on the list but for customer service alone it should be in first place.
Bookstore- Carmichael’s Bookstore- This is a great locally owned bookstore, though Barnes and Noble comes in a close second since it has such a big selection.
Best Restaurant & Best New Restaurant- Seviche- I have heard many good reviews for this restaurant, but I have gotten over to Bardstown Road to eat their yet. My personal favorite is Gasthaus over off Brownsboro Road.
Best Restaurant on the River- Captain’s Quarters- This restaurant recently revamped its menu and the food is wonderful. If you have a boat you can even pull up for dock-side service.
Best Japanese & Sushi- Sapporo Japanese Grill & Sushi- Louisville has many great sushi places, but Sapporo is always wonderful and consistent.
Best Bakery- Blue Dog Bakery- This only hit number two on the list but they have some of the best bread and pastries around.
Best Breakfast Place- Lynn’s Paradise Café- You visit to this eclectic restaurant not only for the good food, but for the atmosphere and décor.
Best Coffee Place- Heine Brothers- This is my first choice for coffee and the Cookie Lady’s cookies.
Best Dessert Place- Homemade Ice Cream & Pie Kitchen- You gain three pounds just by walking through the door and smelling the goodies, but it is worth it. The French Silk Pie is to die for.
There are a lot of other categories to check out, but these are always my favorite. It is also fun to compare LEO’s Readers Choice with Louisville Magazine’s Best of Louisville awards.
