Lisse Staekhuis

Where in Covington can you see a (replica) Rembrandt? At Lisse Steakhuis, a Dutch-meets-American fine dining restaurant in a 19th-century Italianate building. Unfortunately the history of this commercial building is unclear, as archives were lost post-Civil War. The bricks likely came from Covington’s very first brickmaker, located in the area. Situated just off the historic German section of town, it overlooks a wide boulevard that was part of Covington’s original city plan as a large market square.

Lisse Steakhuis combines local ingredients with beloved Dutch recipes inspired by the owner’s hometown of Lisse, Holland. Steaks are named for the great Dutch masters, and pair well with hutspot—a traditional carrot, potato, and onion mash. Finish with moist boterkoek, a decadent butter cake, or with whiskey in the Cigar Lounge! There’s also a lovely roofdeck where you can sip Old World wine before or after your meal.
