Commercial Places in Milwaukee

Milwaukee is home to incredible restaurants ranging from stylish cuisine café, elegant fine dining establishments to low-priced bohemian college snack bar.  Whatever food that your taste buds craves, surely you will find a restaurant that will satisfy such craving.  Some of the recommended restaurants in the place are the Carnevor in downtown which offers contemporary dining with its specialty steak; the Bacchus at Wells Street for contemporary American cuisine and has available rooms overlooking Lake Michigan; and at 3133 E. Newberry Blvd., one will find the Lake Bistro, the finest French restaurant, which was voted as “Most Romantic Restaurant” by its residents. Other notable restaurants are the Milwaukee Chophouse; the Ristorante Bartolotta; and the Third Street Pier. 

However, it must be emphasized that these restaurants share a common theme: i.e. the time honored tradition of the “Friday night fish fry”. This is based on a call for the days where no-meat-on Friday rule by the Catholics. Thus, eating friend fish on a Friday became a defining cultural trait of the whole state of Wisconsin.
