The 17 best restaurants in Milwaukee
"Milwaukee was lacking authentic Chinese food, which is why two chefs, both named Dan, decided to fill the void. Both Dan and Dan are Midwestern chefs with an affinity for the cuisine, mixing their personal culinary styles with traditional fare. Take your pick of tender noodle dishes or spicy wok-fried mains, and if you’re still hungry take a stab at their three-course Peking duck service."

"DanDan, known or its “Chinese soul with Midwestern sensibility.” This Asian spot, open for lunch and dinner, has a menu laden with options that can be made vegan. One of my favorites, the General Tso’s cauliflower (vegan). It is flavored with chili oil, scallion, ginger, and bok choy."

"For dinner we walked back up the river to the SafeHouse, a spy-themed restaurant that was recommended by several people. There’s a secret entrance hidden off an alley (look for a sign that reads International Exports), and a password is required before the doorman will let you in. We didn’t know the password."

"For pizza, wine, fun times and some elevated al-fresco vibes, head to Pizza Man, located in the Murray Hill area of East Side Milwakuee. While the Pizza Man rooftop is more like a second floor balcony than a sky-high terrace, it is a charming and lovely outdoor spot, offering nice views over the iconic Downer Avenue. Indulge in fresh and handmade pies and signature pastas, along with a wide selection of wines from around the world, and beers on both tap and bottle."

"The investors who’ve recaptured the essence of Pizza Man’s North Avenue cave updated it for the 21st century. Two floors of Downer Avenue joie de vivre delivered by Rinka Chung architects. Pizza, laid out on a cracker-like platform, is still the main attraction, but it has a supportive cast in the starters (onion ring loaf, fried sausage-stuffed olives), seasonal salads (e.g., beet, burrata and orange) and pastas (some new, some old, most of them good)."

"Serving up classic Milwaukee-style thin crust pizza since 1970, Pizza Man offers inventive specialty pies and an impressive wine list that’s been recognized by Wine Spectator every year since 1989. Have you ever tried cream cheese on a pizza before?. Trust us, it’s a game changer."

Milwaukee’s Top 30 restaurants for 2019: Delicious food, spectacular service set these stars apart
"Amilinda, the downtown restaurant that nods to Spain and Portugal, could draw people in by virtue of its food alone, but I’m taken with its drink, service and atmosphere, too. The restaurant seems only to get better each year, from the yeasty rolls and roasted-vegetable spread that start dinner to the desserts that end it (like strawberry-rhubarb tart in the tenderest crust, with basil ice cream that I now want to eat with everything, please and thank you). In between, compelling flavors: a bewitching dressing for fried pork belly salad that mingled honey and sweet-hot pepper juices, or steak enhanced with piquillo-pepper butter and creamy saffron panisse, shaped in crescents."

"If Spanish and Portuguese-inspired fare sounds delicious, set sails for Amilinda. Their digs are quaint and the menu is small and focused, but dishes rotate often, depending on what’s fresh and in season, so your tastebuds won’t tire. At any given moment, you could find empanadas, bacalhau (salt cod), housemade sausages or (if you’re lucky) piri piri chicken, a dish that’s always a solid bet."

"Amilinda, which specializes in Spanish and Portuguese-inspired cuisine, is currently open for takeout and curbside pickup orders. The restaurant plans to open for in-house dining in August."

"Located on the grounds of the Marquette University, the St. Joan of Arc Chapel, is a fine example of Gothic and Roman architecture!. Even though the church’s design is spell-binding, the story behind the church is what makes it an attraction!. It is said that Joan of Arc prayed at this very church in 1429 which was dedicated to St. Martin de Sayssuel at the time."
