Beer, cheese, and beyond the stereotypes
Milwaukee's food scene honors its German and Polish roots while embracing a new wave of creative dining that's putting the Cream City on the national food map. Known for beer and cheese curds, Milwaukee has evolved into a surprisingly diverse and innovative dining city.
Best times to dine: Happy hour runs 4-6pm. Friday fish fry is a sacred Milwaukee tradition - every neighborhood has its spot.
Milwaukee's culinary identity starts with bratwurst, beer, and cheese curds, but extends into a thriving farm-to-table movement, excellent fish fry traditions, and increasingly diverse international cuisines. Brady Street's Italian heritage, the Third Ward's upscale dining, and Bay View's hipster food scene create distinct neighborhood dining experiences.
