Lutsen Dining Guide

Area restaurants offer everything from hearty home cooking to gourmet dining. The only thing you won't find is the typical fast food chains, although you can find a good homemade pizza that's just as convenient. Dress is casual everywhere, so come as you are, and bring a good appetite - northwoods vacationers don't go home hungry. Or thirsty. Enjoy micro-brews, fine wines and spirits, and inventive specialty drinks. It's your call.
