WELCOME TO THE CHIPPEWA VALLEY. WE HOPE YOU’RE HUNGRY.
Long time, no Eat Scene! Like many things, COVID-19 put a hold on our Eat Scene guide for a few years, but now it's back for the first time since 2019. After some major updating, we've once again brought you an all-in-one guide to eating in the Chippewa Valley. From coffee shops to upscale dinner spots, from sweet to savory, from brand-new venues to longtime favorites, all of it adds up to a buffet of tasty options like we’ve never seen before. This year we challenge you to step outside your normal eating habits and try something different. A new place, a new meal, a new experience. Variety is the spice of life. Take a bite and see how it tastes.
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
BITE-SIZE CONTENT BREAKING DOWN THE GUIDE
THROUGHOUT THE EAT SCENE GUIDE restaurants are listed alphabetically by city starting on page 6 , If you know what restaurant you're looking for, go ahead and find it that way. If you're a little more curious and you know the style of grub your looking for, you should check out the index on page 68 that breaks down restaurants alphabetically according to style (Bar & Grill, Mexican, Upscale, etc.). Peppered throughout the guide, you'll find content about food-related stuff the listings don't cover, like pop-up restaurants, pizza farms, food events, food trucks, and more. Boxed in yellow, you'll find quick lists which break down spots that meet a certain criteria, like restaurants that serve a Friday fish fry, vegetarian-friendly eateries, and places that deliver. So yeah, we hope you're excited to do some digging in the Chippewa Valley food scene. Eat up!
