Gralehaus

Louisville


There's breakfast all day at this snug eatery housed in a historic early-20th-century home, and you should indeed indulge in its chef-centric takes on traditional Southern comforts (think locally sourced biscuits and duck gravy, lamb and grits). It's typically crowded, but seats seem to open up when you need them. Gralehaus links to Holy Grale pub across the back courtyard.

Brews, mimosas and serious signature coffee drinks are on tap at Gralehaus, too. Upstairs, three rustic-chic rooms ($150 to $200) feature craft beer-stocked minibars, hardwood ceilings and edgy furnishings.
