Not all of Minnesota’s best restaurants are in big cities. Sure, you can visit the largest cities – Twin Cities or Rochester or Duluth – and find outstanding eateries sure to satisfy. But there are also plenty of great restaurants tucked away from view. In the past, we covered the Trestle Inn, a wonderful spot hidden in the Superior National Forest. Today, we want to add another forest eatery. When you visit the Evergreen Restaurant at the Grand Ely Lodge, you’ll have yet another chance to dine in the middle of an enchanted forest. Read on below to learn more about this beautiful restaurant:

Evergreen Restaurant is a part of the Grand Ely Lodge in Ely, Minnesota. It’s a popular place for both locals and visitors to stay the night, grab a good meal, and enjoy all that beautiful Ely has to offer.

If you’re looking for something warm, a hot sandwich or burger could be the ticket. Alongside a pile of fries, these are filling meals that will keep you going for the rest of the day.

If you stop in for dinner, there are many other great options. Pasta, chicken, and seafood are common choices. You can’t go wrong with the surf and turf, served with a sirloin and your choice of scallops, walleye, or jumbo shrimp!
