Bayfield's restaurants and eateries have been included on the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's ten best list, written up in the New York Times as well as Bon Appétit and featured in Gourmet magazine.

Cuisine ranges from home cooking to gourmet, and area chefs take inspiration from Bayfield's harvest of berries, fish and apples, adding to traditional chowders, blueberry pancakes, fresh pies and dishes of their own devising, and local specialties like sautéed whitefish livers.
