Travel + Leisure magazine ranked Cleveland #7 among America’s Best Food Cities and it’s no surprise to us. From the hearty homestyle food of Slavic Village to the trendier cuisine in Ohio City, Cleveland has something for everyone. Almost ½ of the restaurants in the country are female-owned, and Cleveland is no different. We’ve got a list of some female-owned eateries that are a must-try.
