Dining
With over 1000 restaurants to choose from, deciding between four-star and finger linking barbeque won’t be the only obstacle. In fact, Omaha has more restaurants per capita than any other city in the United States. Omaha is a well-known beef town, but it also offers excellent choices for Italian, Thai, Indian and Continental cuisine. With so many choices, start with location.
The Old Market in downtown Omaha can entice the hunger patron with a corner hot dog stand, a steak dinner or fine French dining. Choose your own steak from the tableside at Omaha Prime. For big plates of homemade pasta and mouth-watering risottos, don’t miss Vivace. When an ice cold beer and a big juicy burger are the only things to satisfy, Billy Froggs won’t disappoint.
Beyond the downtown scene, midtown can offer extensive steakhouse choices like The Drover and Gorat’s Steak House. West Central Omaha features the Imperial Palace with outstanding Chinese cuisine. To the north of Omaha, new and established restaurants abound to offer a full range of eat-in or take-out like the Surfside Club and Thai Spice. Authentic Mexican, Italian and Old World cuisine can be found on the Southside with such favorites as El Alamo, Sole Mio Ristorante Italiono and the Bohemian Café.
