Restaurants

Dining on the Iron Range is an experience all it's own. Each restaurant has its own special treat waiting for you to enjoy.

Smoked meats and fish, hearty stews, homemade soups, old-world breads, apple strudel, and chicken kiev are only a few of the specialties to be tasted during your travels on the Iron Range. Bon appetit! You will enjoy our ambience from rustic log interiors to white linen tablecloths and candles. Make sure to bring your appetite, and discover why the northeastern Minnesota's Iron Range is "A Great Way to Getaway!"
