Experience the Best Food in Covington, KY’s German Village

Explore Covington’s Mainstrasse Village and savor delicious local fare, while strolling through a charming neighborhood with beautiful architecture from the 1800’s. Visit five locally-owned restaurants and even meet a few of the owners and chefs.
