Tapas restaurant · Walker's Point

"La Merenda is where the world meets Wisconsin. This Walker’s Point restaurant has dishes from all around the globe, with top-notch ingredients sourced from local farms. The menu rotates extremely often, but you’ll find things like Roman pork belly with polenta, where the tender pork comes from Maple Creek Farms, or saucy butter chicken using birds from Alden Hills. The wine list is what makes it a date night staple, though: they have a bunch of pours from regions you won’t typically find in Milwaukee. Plus, they’re always hosting wine dinners—and yes, they’re called Wine-O Wednesdays—so you can get access to hard-to-find bottles." - kristine hansen
