Ethnic Restaurants

The Iron Range was settled by immigrants from over forty countries, who arrived with their family recipes. Today, these old country recipes are still tasted in savory cuisine and ethnic foods like sarma's, porketta, potica, baklava and pasties. These delightful favorites can still be found in many of our dining establishments. Whether you are sitting down in an old-fashioned cafã feasting on delicious home cooked favorites including cream of wild rice soup, homemade meatloaf, blueberry pie, or savoring a delicious steak, crab legs or freshwater walleye at a four-star restaurant, we have it all on the Iron Range.
