Food scene

Excellent gourmet deli sandwiches and ‘take and bake’ pizza. I like to call ahead for carry-out, grab a bottle of wine and hike to top of Avalanche Preserve for a sunset picnic with a stunning view of Lake and city.

Call ahead to reserve a spot outside and enjoy dinner with a beautiful lakeside view. Best breakfast egg dishes with potatoes. Egg Benedicts are awesome.

The place for tapas (only available 6pm-9pm) Reservations needed. The patio out back is a peaceful and intimate setting. A bit pricey so best for a couples. The owner is an interesting character.

Plenty of wineries in this area. Make a stop on your way back from Petoskey. I’m not a big wine but their craft beer and hard cider is awesome. Grab a growler and take some with you.
