Best Cozy Restaurants in Duluth

Our server, Destiny, was excellent…very personable, attentive, and knowledgeable! The food and ambiance was great! Will definitely return.

We hadn't been to Kurt's in a number of years, but having recently been in Germany, we had a hankering for some schnitzel so we decided to go and we were not disappointed! Our waiter was phenomenal, charming, funny, personable, knowledgeable. And while the specials all sounded wonderful and the pork shank that went by looked amazing, we were pretty singularly focused. The potato pancake appetizer didn't disappoint, with both applesauce and sour cream for those who are torn. My husband had the veal schnitzel, a huge portion over yummy spätzle, and it was outstanding, lightly sauteed, deliciously seasoned, lemon on the side. Perfect. I had the "Kurt's special" - the goulash over the spätzle and it was equally huge, incredibly flavorful and the spätzle soaked up the stew juices in the most delicious way. Between these two amazing dishes, two dunkels (dark beers) for my husband and a yummy German sangria for me (also quite good), we didn't think we could fit another bite in but we were convinced to try the homemade chocolate gelato in an almond cup and we were so glad we did! The rich chocolate flavor of the gelato topped with house made whipped cream was the perfect compliment to the incredible main dishes. We left with full doggie bags and can't wait to go back! It definitely won't be as long between visits next time!

Service, excellent - Herbert is always attentive and has best recommendations for the evening. Food is consistently good, husband loves the Veal Shank!

Food and service was great. Menu selection is limited

I recommend this restaurant for it's varied menu, cocktail offerings, delicious food and friendly service. Located in the walkable downtown of Duluth, it offers both indoor and outdoor dining. We had the goat cheese croquettes, branding and grouper tacos, all delicious!
