The Diner on Clifton (11637 Clifton Blvd.). Locals flock here for healthy portions of fantastic omelets and French toast. (dineronclifton.com) Detroit Deagan's (14810 Ave., Lakewood). This gastropub has a mix of traditional and contemporary fare, although you could fill your daily caloric limit at the Bloody Mary bar alone. (deagans.com)

ABOVE: Crop Bar & Bistro:

Bon Bon Pastry and Café (2549 Lorain Ave.). Order breakfast or lunch all day long, but be sure to save room for the delectable desserts. (bonboncleveland.com) L'Albatros Brasserie (11401 Bellflower Rd). If you're spending the day in University Circle, stop by this excellent French bistro to recharge before moving on to the next museum. (albatrosbrasserie.com)

Noodlecat (Public Square and the West Side Market). Offering Japanese noodles and steam buns with some American influences, Noodlecat is great for everyone from carnivores to vegans. (noodlecat.com)

DINNER

Crop Bar and Bistro (2537 Lorain Ave.). Come for the architecture, the food or the people-watching-Crop is an incredible dining experience. (cropbistro.com)

Momocho (1835 Fulton Rd.). Serving modern Mexican cuisine, Momocho brings nirvana to fans of guacamole, which is served in a variety of innovative ways. (momocho.com) Player's on Madison (14523 Madison Ave., Lakewood). A longtime local favorite that's packed on the weekends.

LATE NIGHT

ABOVE: Happy Dog:

Melt Bar and Grilled (Lakewood, Cleveland Heights, Mentor, Independence). The portions at this popular spot are insane-the menu options are ostensibly gourmet grilled cheese, but the ingredients are so surprising, they inspire fans to get tattoos of the mini-chain's logo. (meltbarandgrilled.com)

Prosperity Social Club (1109 Starkweather Ave.). Serving up fare that takes its cues from what's been described as Cleveland comfort food, this hipster joint attracts a young crowd of urban professionals. (prosperitysocialclub.com)
