This included new flooring, walls, tables, chairs, lighting and more, all while maintaining the historic integrity of the Lutsen Resort dining room. With the recent renovation, we added a 16-bottle wine dispensing station as well as a 1200-bottle enclosed temperature-controlled wine cellar. The Strand Waterfront Dining Room now carries nearly 200 different bottles of wine. We have 20 wines from the Wine Spectator Top 100 list, including #1.

At Lutsen Resort

From our home on the shores of beautiful Lake Superior, we roast small batches of sustainable coffee beans with the goal of bringing you the best coffee from around the globe.

The concept of fika (a Swedish word meaning coffee break) permeates everything we do. A fika is a moment of quiet indulgence in an otherwise hectic day, a time to gather with good friends for great conversation, a sweet treat, and a hot cup of coffee. This concept shapes everything from how we roast our beans to how we connect with customers.

A little grocery store and bakery, this place has a small cafe with windows looking out the back, where you can watch the deer that hang around. Delicious pies with a flaky crust, homemade pasties, sandwiches, soup and breakfast menu.
