This restaurant is located in a prime location, one block down from the lift bridge. It offers outdoor seating on a wood deck in the summer but also wrap around windows for the inside diners. It does not overllok the lake, but is still a fun view of canal park. The food is incredible! They use fresh ingredients and combine... More

We dropped into the LAKE AVENUE CAFE in the Dewitt Seitz building while in Duluth the other day, and I have to say, the food was fantastic. There were 8 of us, we all ordered something different and it was fun. The buffalo cuban was super delish! (could have used some chips in it though, not enough crunch) Even better... More

Lake Avenue has a great menu with some unexpected items - our meal was excellent as was the service.

We decided to hit the Lake Avenue Café for their brunch menu. Everyone ordered something different! Everything was excellent, from the basics eggs, homemade sausage, homemade potatoes, toast, to the special rib omelet, which was fantastic! Would definitely go back! The French Toast was the best ever, the apple topping etc. were all excellent!

Different , menu, food was good, not great. Wine is expensive, limited beer selection, waitress looked like she was going thru the motions. Wanted to be somewhere else? My local guests love this place but I would rather go to Fitger's.

While on a weekend getaway with friends in Duluth, my husband chose this restaurant for us to check out and try for dinner. WOW, we could not have found a better place! We were blown away by the variety on the menu and the unique pairings of ingredients for each dish. The majority of our conversation was discussing how flavorful... More

We eat at the Lake Avenue Cafe every time we go to Duluth. Actually, we go to Duluth just to eat at the Lake Avenue Cafe. We recently moved overseas and we're planning a trip to the LAC when we come back to the States next time. Food is imaginative without being pretentious, and we have never, ever had anything... More
