First stop on our foodie weekend? Lake Avenue Café. It was a recommendation from a coworker and the owner at the B&B we were staying at and it did not disappoint. Lake Avenue focuses on local food and unique drinks right off of Canal Park in downtown Duluth.
Even though we were still pretty full from breakfast it was hard to resist all the delicious choices on the menu. We decided on splitting a sandwich and an entrée, the pulled bison cuban and the falafal platter. Both were amazing but I give the award to the bison cuban. Smokey, cheesy goodness on fresh bread with even better fries. We were in food heaven!
My cocktail made lunch even better; vodka, lychee liquor, crème de violet and lemonade. I need to figure out where I can get lychee liquor and crème de violet so I can recreate this drink. It might have been the prettiest drink I have ever had. A very light lavender color.
The price were a bit high for Duluth but it was so worth it. The service was spot on and we really enjoyed the atmosphere of the café. Quaint and bright with lots of unique art to look at.
