  • Americano at Bratenahl Place Club

    1 Bratenahl Pl., Bratenahl Eastern Suburbs

    216-541-3900

    The dining room at this posh twin-condo complex has been the site of numerous short-lived restaurants. But if any endeavor has reason to survive it is Americano, an impressive Euro-American bistro. An ambitious kitchen crafts its own charcuterie, pickles, condiments and breads. The at-times-brilliant bistro fare straddles the line between classic French and seasonal American, with prices thankfully in line with the latter. Enjoy mussels, crab cakes, steak frites, beef Bourguignon and seared scallops. Full bar and wine list.
  • Astoria Cafe and Market

    5417 Detroit Ave. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

    216-266-0834

  • Babushka's Kitchen

    6531 Brecksville Rd., Independence Western Suburbs

    216-447-9277

    An outpost of the Northfield Center original, this Polish soul kitchen serves big portions of well-prepared standards like cabbage rolls, fresh kielbasa, and roast pork. Don't let the paper placemats and counter service fool you: The hearty food is a tasty bargain. And certainly don't miss the jumbo pierogi, our pick for some of the best around.
  • Bodega

    1854 Coventry Rd., Cleveland Hts. Eastern Suburbs

    216-932-3060

    This sleek restaurant specializes in authentic Moroccan cuisine. Naturally, there are numerous couscous and tajine dishes, plus a festive Berber stew featuring prawns, scallops, and mussels.
  • Cowell & Hubbard

    1305 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-479-0555

    This being Zack Bruell's fifth Cleveland restaurant, diners now know they can expect high-caliber service, an interior pulled from the pages of Architectural Digest, and a menu the size of Atlas Shrugged. What Bruell calls "modern French-American" might just as well be billed New Mediterranean, with nods to Morocco, France and Italy. In the end, the food is characteristically Bruellian: tidy stacks of meat and veg resting in an opulent sauce, diamond-cut by the acidity of lemon.
  • Der Braumeister

    13046 Lorain Ave. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

    216-671-6220

    Hours: Kitchen 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Mon-Wed, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Thurs-Sat, Closed Sun. Bar stays open later.
  • Dervish Turkish Cuisine

    35840 Chester Rd., Avon Western Suburbs

    440-937-0733

    Following in the ultra-successful footsteps of Anatolia Cafe, Northeast Ohio’s first Turkish restaurant, Dervish introduces the Middle Eastern cuisine to far West Siders. Despite an exotic-sounding pedigree, the cuisine is remarkably approachable, largely healthful, and ideally suited to our meat-and-potatoes sensibilities. There are vegetarian spreads, flavorful grilled meat kebabs, and simply prepared seafood items. Comfort foods like stuffed peppers and Turkish pizza transcend cultural borders.
  • Felice Urban Café

    12502 Larchmere Blvd. East Side/University Circle/Little Italy

    216-791-0918

    If you think Fat Cats is cool, you'll definitely love Felice. Run by the same restaurateur, this cozy eatery is tucked inside a restored Craftsman-style home on the Shaker-Cleveland border. Awaiting diners is unfussy and affordable Mediterranean fare, much of it with a decidedly Spanish flair. There's chorizo-spiked mussels, lamb sliders, skirt steak chimichurri and garlicky seafood stew. Full bar, wine and beer. Outdoor patio.
  • The Greek Village

    14019 Madison Ave., Lakewood Western Suburbs

    216-228-4976

    This is the place to come if you crave authentic homemade Greek specialties, like souvlakia, dolmades, avgolemono and spanakopita. Or grab a $4 gyro and some handcut fries. Open for lunch and dinner.
  • La Strada

    2050 E. 4th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-861-3663

    Like any good Fellini flick, this production is loaded with fantastic scenery. If that scenery is the journey, then the food must be the destination. Spanish, Moroccan, Turkish, Italian and Greek items combine in harmonious fashion. Think Italian wedding soup, wood-fired Turkish kebabs and Moroccan chicken and couscous. Enjoy the namesake film from a wrought-iron balcony as it is projected onto a large interior wall.
  • Le Petit Triangle Café

    1881 Fulton Rd. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

    216-281-1881

    A little cramped, occasionally noisy, and quite possibly the city's smallest restaurant, this tiny French bistro still manages to turn out superlative crepes, earthy pâtés, and one of the best Croque Monsieur sandwiches this side of the Seine.
  • Luxe Kitchen & Lounge

    6605 Detroit Ave. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

    216-920-0600

    This welcoming bistro brings approachable, affordable, and delicious Mediterranean-inspired food to the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood. Shabby-chic with a farmhouse twist, the restaurant features mix-and-match plates, kitchen-towel napkins, and repurposed fixtures. With a host of small plates, shared plates, pastas, pizzas, and prix fixe dinners, the menu has options for every mood and budget.
  • Maha's Café

    3323 W. 25th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-741-9810

    Maha's specializes in Mediterranean foods, especially falafal wraps. They've got burgers and BLTs, but the menu is also loaded with middle-eastern favorites like kibbie, hummus and mujadara.
  • Rose Hill Fine Food & Spirits

    7249 Wooster Pike Road, Seville Medina County

    330-721-2111

  • Sans Souci

    24 Public Square Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-902-4095

    Under the guidance of well-seasoned chef Brett Montgomery, this 20-year-old restaurant in the downtown Renaissance Hotel seems reinvigorated. Much of that comes from Montgomery's decision to highlight local products on his Med-American menu, an urge that extends from precisely prepared dinner entries like Lake Erie walleye and Ohio City Pasta pierogi to the cheeses, sausages, and even the maple syrup on the groaning breakfast buffet.

  • Schnitz Ale Brewery

    5729 Pearl Road, Parma Southern Suburbs

    440-340-4353

  • Seven Roses

    6301 Fleet Ave. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

    216-641-5789

    Though this Polish deli and restaurant looks and feels like it has always been here, the Slavic Village shop opened in 2008. The front portion is devoted to the deli, with wooden shelving and coolers laden with smoked meats, pastries, and imported foodstuffs from Eastern Europe. A spare but elegant dining room in the rear of the shop dishes up hearty, homey comfort foods like pierogies, potato pancakes, stuffed cabbage, pork schnitzel, and cabbage and noodles. A buffet, during busy times, is a great bargain, offering an all-you-can-eat experience for $6.99.
  • Sky Mediterranean Lounge & Cuisine

    6405 Pearl Rd., Parma Heights Western Suburbs

    440-345-5007

  • Taste Food & Wine

    2317 Lee Rd., Cleveland Hts. Eastern Suburbs

    216-932-9100

    This polished Mediterranean bistro is a welcome addition to a street known more for its pubs than posh eateries. An easygoing vibe belies the level of talent in the kitchen and prowess on the plate. Elegantly composed dishes sing with clear flavor, purpose and direction. In the chef’s hands, items like seared scallops and rack of lamb are at once familiar and original. Consider the prix fixe menu, which includes an appetizer, entrée, dessert and two glasses of wine for $45.
  • The Wine Bar at Solaire

    111 First St., Hudson Akron/Summit County

    330-650-9095

    Don't let the "wine bar" designation fool you: This second-floor boîte in the First and Main shopping district (above Solaire spa) is really a small but elegantly appointed restaurant, serving a generally well-executed menu of contemporary French and Mediterranean cuisine.
  • Zdara Mediterranean Grill & Lounge

    1382 W. 9th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-535-0001

    Exotic, authentic flavors of the Mediterranean are the specialty of this comfortably upscale restaurant in downtown’s historic Warehouse District.
