Dubuque has such an array of wining and dining options, the possibilities are almost limitless! Experience the strides Dubuque has made from its start as an industrial town to its deserving spot as one of America's most modern cities by visiting some of the culinary options that illustrate Dubuque's variety. Eat dinner aboard Iowa's only authentic paddle wheeler or a modern yacht while exploring America's River. Taste freshly baked bread, fried catfish, frosty treats, local farmer's produce, and award-winning chili while attending one of Dubuque's many festivals held throughout the year. Eat on the go; pack a picnic lunch to enjoy while exploring a formation-filled living cave, seeing three states at once while overlooking the Mississippi, or biking along a trail connecting Dubuque to Dyersville.

Of course, the city and surrounding area also have a number of popular and innovative restaurants, local wineries and breweries to satisfy all tastes. From a romantic dinner at a restored historic hotel to a family lunch on the bustling riverwalk, or perhaps a quick bite at a coffee shop or while sampling the latest in local brews, maybe even partaking in a lavish buffet at a state-of-the-art casino or enjoy a home-cooked breakfast at a quaint country inn, our town has something for everyone.
