Eating from the land is a practice many Wisconsinites are familiar with. But “tree-to-glass” drinking is a rarer experience for those now more accustomed to city living. Which makes The Cider Farm’s tasting room at Brennan’s Market in Madison a superb staycation outing.
Restaurant of the Week
Restaurant of the Week: Blind Shot Social Club
“Another round” takes on multiple meanings at Blind Shot Social Club. Whether you’re a fan of golf or a delicious craft cocktail (with or without alcohol), the new Madison-based social club is quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite.
Restaurant of the Week: Leopold’s Books Bar Caffè
Any bibliophile can affirm few things go together as well as a fascinating book and a sumptuous beverage. Which is what makes Leopold’s Books Bar Caffè the most notable addition to Madison’s near West Side in well over a year.
Restaurant of the Week: Tupelo Honey
Tupelo Honey, found just under the bridge from the Milwaukee Public Market, opened late July of this year in the new Huron Building building. A scratch-made kitchen offering Southern food in a Northern climate, Tupelo Honey is a great spot to get your taste of fare inspired by the traditions rooted in the Carolina Mountains.
Restaurant of the Week: Hop Haus Brewery
Craft beer connoisseurs eat in style at Hop Haus Brewing. The OG location in Verona now has a sister outpost in Fitchburg, which is grander in terms of its scale and menu but offers the same quality brews and bites that Hop Haus has always been known for.
Restaurant of the Week: Wander Provisions
Eating out in nature can be a superb experience, assuming one has the time to prep, cook and pack eats, drinks and utensils before heading off on an excursion. An efficient and affordable alternative to schlepping all the vittles, plus necessary kitchen wear, from home exists now that Wander Provisions has set up shop in Spring Green.
Restaurant of the Week: Liberty Station
Open daily for lunch and dinner, Liberty Station American Tavern and Smokehouse serves American comfort food that will leave you delightfully full while still craving “just one more bite.” The restaurant opened its doors in June 2020 on Rimrock Road near the Alliant Energy Center in Madison.
Restaurant of the Week: On The Bus
Veganism is often associated with food high on favor–and low on taste. But On the Bus in the Milwaukee Public Market debunks just about every misconception about eating plant-based with its towering milkshakes, massive mouthwatering burgers and lightly battered fries.
Restaurant of the Week: Lake Park Bistro
Since 1995, Lake Park Bistro has been a beloved special event destination in Milwaukee, offering beautiful views of Lake Michigan. In reopening late last year, Chef Paul Bartolotta has the brought the restaurant to its roots – reimagining it as a haut bistro inspired by his experiences working alongside acclaimed chefs in Michelin-starred restaurants.
