In the late 1800s, Scandinavian immigrants-turned-North Shore fishermen salt-packed and smoked their Lake Superior catch, and laid the foundation for a regional cuisine that continues to delight with its smoky, Scandinavian-inspired goodness. At the Historic Lutsen Lodge, our seasonal menus celebrate our culinary heritage in dishes like Cedar Plank Coho Salmon, Scandinavian Chicken & Waffles, and Venison Carpaccio.
