The 36 Best Restaurants in Des Moines, Iowa

"The younger sibling of the retail-focused Cheese Shop, the Cheese Bar is an ideal stop on a crawl down Ingersoll Avenue (one of the best dining drives in town). Owner C.J. Bienert and his team of experts showcase the best Iowa cheeses and cured meats on their signature massive monger boards, alongside house-made pates, jams, and crackers. For lunch, don’t miss the next-level grilled cheeses with spicy roasted tomato bisque. For happy hour, fondue, and raclette steal the show. And if dinner is on the agenda, you can’t miss the cast-iron skillet mac and cheese. Pair anything with the thoughtful selection of wines, beers, and cocktails." - Karla Walsh
