Eat Fresh

Fall in love with food all over again. Madison’s chefs take full advantage of the region’s fresh organics, pasture-raised meat, and locally grown produce from Wisconsin’s fertile farmlands. Dining out or cooking in is a delicious springtime endeavor.

Another sure sign that spring has sprung: the arrival of food carts spanning across the city, bringing hand-crafted foods to the streets of Madison. Global cuisine—including Ethiopian, Indonesian, Thai, and trusty Wisconsin classics—is at your fingertips.

Sample Wisconsin’s heritage from the booth of a supper club, complete with mounted deer antlers on the wall and a jar of pickled eggs on the bar. From gourmet sausages and beer brats to deep-fried cheese curds and the Friday fish fry, Madison delivers on both taste and atmosphere.
