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.
