9 New Restaurants To Try This Summer In Wisconsin's Door County

Door County is one of the Midwest's most beloved summer escapes, and it is easy to see why.

According to Destination Door County, the peninsula boasts more than 300 miles of shoreline, 11 lighthouses (one of the highest concentrations in the entire country), and five state parks, more than any other county in Wisconsin.

Add in cherry orchards, fish boils, art galleries, and charming waterfront villages, and it is no wonder travelers flock here from across the region every single year.

Another bonus, beyond all the beauty and the endless activities, is the food, and Door County's dining scene has been booming over the past year.

This list rounds up nine spots that are new to the peninsula for the 2026 season. Some are brand-new businesses, while others are familiar names opening a new location or their very first storefront.

Either way, if you have not tried them yet, they belong on your summer list. Here is a look at each one.
