Restaurants & dining in Hunter's Park, Duluth, Minnesota
Part of the Hunter's Park neighborhood guide. Back to the full guide.
Hunter's Park has no restaurants of its own, and unlike Congdon Park it does not have a walkable strip a few minutes away either. This is the trade for living above the hill in a purely residential district: dining means getting in the car and deciding which direction.
Downhill and south, toward the university corridor and the East End, is the usual choice. At Sara's Table Chester Creek Cafe at 1902 East 8th Street is the closest full-service restaurant of consequence, about seven minutes away, doing farm-to-table breakfast through dinner with a bakery attached. Sir Benedict's Tavern on the Lake at 805 East Superior Street is roughly ten minutes and is the default pub: sandwiches, a long tap list, live music, and a patio facing the water.
East along the shoreline, the Lakeside business block between 44th and 47th Avenue East is about twelve minutes and worth the drive for Amity Coffee, Sammy's Pizza in the location the family has run since 1958, and handmade ice cream at Crank and Dasher. Lake Superior Brewing is a few minutes further out on Superior Street. For a special occasion, the New Scenic Cafe on Highway 61 is roughly twenty-five minutes up the shore.
The compensating advantage is that downtown Duluth, with the fullest range of dining in the city, is only about ten minutes from here, which is closer than it is from Lakeside or Lester Park.
In the Mount Royal shopping centre on Woodland Avenue, the commercial anchor for the neighborhoods either side of the university.
