I’m including North Downtown (NoDo) restaurants on this list as well as a few that time may consider South Omaha.

And I feel like, after a year of odd restrictions, Omaha’s restaurants had some new tricks up their sleeves once the COVID shackles came off. Below you’ll find the best things I had to eat in Omaha restaurants in 2021. These are all personal experiences; yours might be different, and that’s OK!
- Au Courant. What is it: A modern European eatery serving locally sourced, innovative, finely crafted small plates and entrées, plus craft cocktails. Why go: Chef Benjamin Maides is always changing the menu at Au Courant but one thing remains the same: his satisfying seasonal cuisine never disappoints.
- Dante. What is it: An Italian restaurant dishing house-made pasta and Neapolitan-style pizza, along with a long list of Italian wine. Why go: Dante takes pizza and pasta seriously, and it also takes supporting local farmers seriously.
- Block 16. What is it: This supper club is an upscale burger and fries joint that happens to host high-end weekend dinner specials appreciated by foodies of all kinds.
