Popular Restaurants | Other Restaurants Tips | All Tips (117) The coffee and food at Alterra is excellent, but their lakefront location is a truly unique experience. The coffeehouse is located in a pumping station built in 1888 of Cream City brick. In one section of the shop you can sit and nibble on your sandwich overlooking the gigantic pump that lies about twenty feet below floor level. It's in an interesting place to look around, very industrial-chic.

This place is great. It's run by a Nigerian family who specialize in variety of West African dishes from Nigeria, Camaroon, Cote d' Viore, etc. The banfis, slow cooked stews, are highly recommended. There is a kasava pie for dessert that simply cannot be missed. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. A great restaurant and a great experience. I bring out of town guests here all the time.

Mercado El Rey has three locations on the South Side of Milwaukee. The closest to Downtown is on Cesar Chavez Drive. The largest and most varied lunch menu is at the one on 35th and Burnham. El Rey's lunch counter cannot be beat. You'll find the full array of Mexican favorites done very well, and a selection of specials (I had the goat meat last time) that never disappoints. The prices are amazingly low. One of the few places where one can get fed well for under $5.

As the saying goes - 'You havn't been anywhere until you've hit Rock Bottom' ! The Rock Bottom Brewery is located in the city core along the banks of the Milwaukee River. They have a great outdoor seating area as part of the Riverwalk renovations and we found ourselves drawn to its location on more than one occasion. Our first evening in town was spent there watching the activities while I sipped on their Raccoon Red beers. Later, after our Sunday stroll around town to take in the sights, we settled down for a great lunch. This time I had their half pound of beer-boiled shrimps in shell with cocktail dipping sauce ($9.95) and a Greenfield America Lite beer. This is a great spot to be on a Saturday night when the boats are active and people are strolling the river banks. The restaurant has other smaller tables serving bar snacks where you can sit right along the river edge and keep a closer eye on the activities.
The shrimp were good! Leave a Comment Theme: Pub/BreweryPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: 740 North Plankington Ave.Phone: 414-276-3030Directions: On the river by East Wells Street

While in Milwaukee, we voted to have lunch at MADER'S RESTAURANT which is well-known for its German cuisine. As you walk in, you can see just how big this place is. There are little rooms everywhere, all decorated with an incredible collection of medieval weaponry, woodcarvings and an impressive collection of beer steins. The menu offers an extensive offering of German specialties prepared in the German tradition. Hans and I both had the Reuben sandwich, which came open-faced, with a generous portion of corned beef and saurkraut, topped with melted cheese along with a side of french fries. Hans also had the five-cheese onion soup which he said was absolutely delicious. Mader's also has an extensive wine and beer list and children's menu.
Lunch: 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Dinner: 4:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Sunday Brunch: 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Leave a Comment Theme: German/AustrianPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 1041 N. Old World Third St. Milwaukee WI 53203Phone: (414) 271-3377Website: www.madersrestaurant.com Other Contact: 1-800-558-7171

Located on the ground floor of the Hilton Center, the Miller Time Pub is a great place to go for either a quick snack or a full-blown meal. There are TVs located at strategic places around the ceiling showing about 3 different channels of sporting events. The organizers of the conference that we were attending booked part of the pub for the group's Monday evening outing - complete with finger food snacks and drinks.
I had a great chili for dinner one evening and on another occasion, when I was not feeling very hungry, a simple hot dog did the trick for me. We noticed that the pace of life in Milwaukee slowed noticeably on Sunday and we were not able to find ourselves a restaurant downtown that was either open or suited our fancy. It was back to the hotel and the Miller Time Pub to the rescue!

Mo's is prominantly located on the corner of a city block, with its large windows inviting one in for an ale or two. We had spotted the place on our first night in town but decided to try Riverwalk area instead. When we went back downtown on Sunday, we were surprised to find the pub closed - as were most of the other eateries in the area. We finally made it back there on our last night and enjoyed sitting in the corner watching the activities of the other patrons.
I thought that their menu was a bit limited, we had steak in mind but the closest we could come to that was a steak sandwich. Nevertheless, it tasted great and the Guinness did not hurt either! We noticed that there was a Mo's restaurant across the street - maybe that is where the 'full' restaurant is located.

After visiting the Pabst Mansion, we headed out to find a bite to eat. My first choice of German was overruled so we headed to the section of town where there are lots of Mexican restaurants, around National and 5th Avenue. Someone had recommended La Fuente to me so we decided to eat there.
The place was busy for a Saturday afternoon, no wait but quite a few patrons. The dining room decor is fairly typical for Midwestern Mexican restaurants with pinatas hanging from the ceiling, a large mural on the wall of a scene from Mexico. It's not a fine dining restaurant but it seemed clean.
I tried a combination plate of an enchilada, tostada and taco, my friend tried a combo plate with an enchilada, tostada and flauta. It's a nice way to try several different items.
I thought the food was good but not great, I'm a little spoiled with all of the great choices for Mexican in Chicago/Northwest Indiana where there is a large Hispanic population.

This is another of the many eating establishments located along the river, in this case just across from the Rock Bottom. The patio part of the pub (we never did go inside) has a few trappings to give a bit of a flavour of England. There was a nice ambiance, there always is if you can sit outside by a river and have a good meal !
It was a quick lunch-time meal, so I settled for their Ham & Swiss Cheese sandwich with chips. It really hit the spot - not too big ! Leave a Comment
