Spring Park Restaurants

Spring Park, Minnesota, borders on the expansive Lake Minnetonka. This lake offers opportunities to go ice fishing, swimming, canoeing, and snowshoeing, and picnic facilities are available so that you can enjoy a take-out meal from one of the many hamburger and hot dog shops located on the suburb's main streets. Many people living in Spring Park have Swedish ancestry, and this history is reflected in the various family-owned restaurants in the community. Some of the local specialties of Swedish cuisine include boiled potatoes with lingonberry jam, pickled herring with sour cream and chopped chives, and gravlax with locally grown produce. There are also many people of Norwegian descent in the area. A few small restaurants offer traditional dishes from Norway, including pitepalt and artsoppa.
