"An Ojibwe restaurant with a touch of French style by chef Bryce Stevenson. Notable for dishes like blueberry cedar lemonade and a wild rice bowl with smoked whitefish and mushrooms." - Justine Jones

"One of the newest Native American–owned restaurants on the national culinary scene is Miijim, which opened in May 2023. Located on Madeline Island (also known as Mooningwanekaaning in Ojibwe), Miijim is helmed by chef Bryce Stevenson, a member of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The restaurant is a bit similar to Sean Sherman’s famed Owamni in Minneapolis in that there’s no gluten, dairy, or refined sugar on the menu. However, Miijim distinguishes itself by serving traditional Ojibwe dishes with a French flair, echoing the local Ojibwe history of marrying French settlers. At Miijim, diners can feast upon decadent dishes like venison striploins served with mushrooms cooked in duck fat as well as bison heart steak plated with red potatoes and spring turnip. And never fear, vegetarians: There’s a plant-based section of the menu with items like squash stuffed with tepary beans and corn that’s drizzled with a cedar vinaigrette." - Mae Hamilton, Andrea Cooper

Really great food. It’s small plates though, so you’ll likely want to order everything. Great chance to try dishes you can’t get anywhere else. The buffalo and squash were outstanding. All Gluten free dairy free meals.

Here you can taste the delicious food that you can't usually eat in the city, such as rabbits, fresh white fish, etc. Although the price is a little expensive, considering that they only have a few months of business hours a year, these are reasonable. Business is very good at peak times, and the waiters will be too busy to send bills. You just need to put the money on the table. . The taste of the dish is very special and delicious, but the amount is a little small. If you want a three-layer hamburger for your stomach every time, I suggest you eat something before you go.

This dining experience was excellent. Best dining experience I've ever had on Madeline Island or Bayfield. This restaurant has amazing pre-colonial indigenous inspired food - that means no dairy, folks (which is a huge plus in my book)! I would go so far as to say that this is the north shore/Lake Superior region's equivalent of Minneapolis' Owami. Extremely satisfied with the quality of food and service!

Miijim is easily the most exciting dining experience I've had in years. I had the beets and heart berries dish, a stuffed pepper dish, and a grit based dish. The flavors explode off the plate. 10/10 would recommend!

I ate at the Owamni in Minneapolis and it was an awesome experience but lacked flavor. This place Miijim had the same exciting concept but with great flavor and well seasoned dishes that popped. Interesting ingredients like Bison Heart kept the experience unique. But good seasoning and excellent flavor knowledge of sweat and savory made every dish taste great! The use of a blue berry sauce was on several dishes gave excellent sweat accents. I won't lie I had worry and doubt but overall was extremely impressed. The Owamni made me feel guilt for wanting that salt or just seasoning to make food pop. Here at Miijim things like the blueberry sauce worked very well to be amazing and still naturally occurring regionally. The use of salt might not be pure authentic but paying for high end dining it has to taste good and everything had great flavor and seasoning. I def want to make some comment but hopefully not offend about this being Ojibwe and Owamni being Souix... maybe it's the advantage of having trade with the French!

Every so often i have a meal that i just can’t stop thinking about–this was one of those experiences. Each of our five plates we got were unique, thoughtful, and delicious, unlike anything i’ve had outside of the cities. It’s incredibly refreshing see a restaurant in a small town that takes risks and serves food from an under-appreciated cuisine that is creative both in flavors and presentation. This coupled with the significance of a native restaurant on the island and the history of the area makes Miijim truly an incredible experience. Go in with an empty stomach and an open mind and enjoy. The braised rabbit and manoomin hash are a great place to start.

We were looking for a unique place to eat with good food. We were pleasantly surprised. The meals are intended to be served family style so you can try a variety of foods. We selected the Bison with mashed turnips and Lions Mane, Beets and Berries and for dessert a sweetbread made with squash and maple syrup topped with blueberries. The service was great! Thanks for making my birthday one to remember.

We had a wonderful experience in our first visit to Mijim. I enjoyed the duck breast, my wife had an amazing rabbit and our friend raved about his whitefish! We enjoyed this with an excellent French wine. Wish it was closer to home but we will definitely be back the next time we go to Madeline Island!
