Dining
Taste the best in locally sourced food from top Door County chefs and artisan cheesemakers like the Wild Tomato, The Cookery, Artisan Schoolhouse Cheese and more.
Wild Tomato
The Wild Tomato is a fresh new restaurant with not only great wood-fired pizzas, salads, sandwiches and burgers, but also a new approach toward giving to their community.
Using sustainable products and sourcing much of their ingredients from small, local farmers, owners Britt and Sarah Unkefer have created an affordable restaurant and a Door County dining staple in just a few short years.
In addition to their fantastic food, the Wild Tomato offers an unexpectedly exceptional array of craft beers, one of the most creative beer lists on the peninsula.
Schoolhouse Artisan Cheese

America’s Dairyland is a leader in cheesemaking innovation and artistry, and Schoolhouse Artisan Cheese has personally selected the handcrafted cheeses that we offer. Through our personal relationships with our cheesemakers, we are connected and share the passion and pride used to create their small batch, original recipe cheeses.
Each cheesemaker has their own unique story – some with generations of experience, others with a renegade spirit – we invite you to learn more about the skilled cheesemakers from Wisconsin.
Whether you are looking for a treat for yourself, or giving a personal or corporate gift, we will be sure to satisfy your needs. Shop online or visit one of our two locations in beautiful Ellison Bay and Egg Harbor, Door County, Wisconsin, where our experienced cheese mongers will guide you through your own personal cheese flight.
The Cookery
A Fish Creek mainstay for over 30 years, The Cookery has been using local Door County food producers for decades.
The family run restaurant serves “fresh food, expertly prepared” (Midwest Living, Best of the Midwest 2011), with a menu featuring American fare with a creative twist, all menu items are made from start to finish in their kitchen.
Lunch, dinner, and small plates in the second-story wine bar are served daily, as is breakfast. Since re-opening after a fire three years ago, The Cookery has retrenched itself at the top of the Door County culinary scene with an inventive menu and a fabulous craft beer and wine selection.
