Local Food

Of the 150 restaurants in downtown Milwaukee, 73% are locally owned. From fine dining to a morning cup of coffee, Milwaukeeans love to eat local.

Cheese Curds

A Milwaukee staple, you'll find cheese curds all throughout the city. Pick up some fresh curds (you'll know they're fresh when they squeak when you bite into them!) or find the delicous deep-fried curds on almost any Milwaukee menu.

Seasonal Flavor

Milwaukee chefs base their menus off of seasonal ingredients provided by suppliers they have a personal relationship with, like professional forager Mike Jozwik. Also known as “Mushroom Mike,” Jozwik provides not just mushrooms, but more than 250 seasonal ingredients including raw honey, edible flowers and wood sorrel to local chefs.
