Mackinac Island Restaurants

Long a summer colony destination, Mackinac Island includes dining options that range from the fine dining one would expect from a resort town to the surprisingly affordable. Its hotels include restaurants boasting majestic views of Lake Michigan with menus to match. Their offerings include classic American cuisine like prime steak, King crab, and elaborately prepared salads. More adventurous palates will be pleased by menu items like truffle fries, tapas, and Wagyu Beef Tartare. Heading into downtown, you will find that there is another side to Mackinac dining. Ice cream parlors, coffee shops featuring homemade fudge, pizzerias, pancake houses, and upscale diners shouldn't be missed. If you're the gourmet type, you'll be thrilled to know that there is nary a chain restaurant to be found on the island.
