Looking for the best restaurants ​in
​Glen Arbor, Michigan?

To me, Glen Arbor is the consummate vacation town. Quaint, charming, and cozy, Glen Arbor is the perfect place to get away from it all, Up North. Don't let its tiny size fool you! Glen Arbor has plenty of restaurants to keep you well-fed during your time in the Mitten. If you're curious about Glen Arbor, check out my 10 Charming Things to Do in Glen Arbor, Michigan!

Art's Tavern

No less delicious for its affordable pricing, Art's Tavern has been a Glen Arbor staple since 1934. Expect family-friendly dining, hearty sandwiches & burgers, and local brews. Don't forget to bring cash (they don't take cards), and don't ask for Art (he died in 1970).

Boonedocks

You can't go to tiny downtown Glen Arbor without seeing fun-loving vacationers enjoying the charming patio at Boonedocks. On a beautiful, Up North evening, there's no better spot to enjoy that gorgeous Glen Arbor weather. Hit the shops while you wait for your table, and pick an evening with live music.

Did you know Northern Michigan is the cherry-producing capital of the world? The headquarters of The Cherry Republic is right here in Glen Arbor, Michigan. You can buy every cherry-flavored product imaginable, from cookies to wine, and in recent years, they've added full dining options at The Cherry Public House.

Extra Credit: M-22 Winery

Don't count Michigan wine out! Stop by M-22 winery to sample some delicious Michigan wine and pick up some adorable M-22 merchandise!

Restaurants at
​The Homestead

If you're staying at The Homestead (which I highly recommend), there are quite a few delicious dining options for you. For more about the resort, check out the full post on a stay at The Homestead, Glen Arbor!

Whisker's Bar and Grill

Whisker's Bar and Grill has added massive outdoor seating and updated its menu with local favorites and local beers. We found ourselves walking over to Whisker's most days of our stay, for lunch, dinner, or just to grab some drinks and have a stroll!

Cafe Manitou

For a delicious meal (or drinks) overlooking the shores of Lake Michigan, make a reservation at Cafe Manitou during your stay at The Homestead. The views are unbeatable, and the food is worth every penny (and it's quite a few pennies!)

Nonna's

Looking for classic Italian food in a cozy environment? For a fancier, traditional experience at The Homestead, check out one of the resort's original restaurants, Nonna's!
