Justine’s at Gunflint Lodge
When people talk about Gunflint, great food quickly becomes part of the conversation. We have been serving fine Northwood’s cuisine for more than 80 years. The dining rooms are located inside the main Lodge with a lakeside patio, and feature a panoramic view of Gunflint Lake with some amazing sights and glorious sunsets. Named by the Star Tribune as one of the 10 Most Romantic Restaurants Within a Short Drive from the Twin Cities, Justine’s serves hearty Northwoods fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We make extensive use of native ingredients, including walleye, wild berries, maple syrup, wild rice, and mushrooms.
While most of our cabins include kitchens, there’s really little reason to cook when you can walk right over to a fine meal prepared to order and served at your table by the window – or beside a crackling fire in the native stone fireplace that adds warmth and charm to the dining room. Make Justine’s your dining choice – whether for a romantic dinner for two or a family meal at the lake. Add a meal package to your stay to see why we are one of the best all-inclusive resorts in Minnesota.
Reservations Recommended! Regardless if your staying in a cabin or just popping by, we want to ensure we’re ready for you. Book a reservation.
