Harbor View Cafe

Top choice in Wisconsin


The book-stuffed Harbor View is a Slow Food stalwart. Staff write the changing menu on a chalkboard twice daily – once for lunch, once for dinner. Cross your fingers the list shows the four-cheese stuffed mushrooms, caper-sauced halibut and lemon cake with ginger. Deck chairs line the sidewalk outside, each with a water view. No reservations.
