"Just North of Duluth sits New Scenic Café, with stellar views of Lake Superior and a nod to Nordic traditions in both menu and decor. Sharable dishes like the game platter or the smörgåsbord (a true smorgasbord of pickled herring, smoked salmon, deviled eggs, cheese, fruit, and olives) are a must." - Justine Jones

"New Scenic Cafe, on Duluth’s north end up Highway 61, channels Scandinavian traditions in both its menu and design. When it’s chilly, you can catch shimmering lake views through the dining room windows — but when the weather allows, grab a seat around the fire pit in the the open breeze. Highlights on this menu include the “Nordic plate” of arctic shrimp, beet gravlax, and accoutrements; seared sea scallops with compressed cucumber; and lingonberry creme brulee." - Eater Staff

"Chef Scott Graden’s New Scenic Cafe, just north of Duluth on Highway 61, is a destination dining spot on the shores of chilly Lake Superior. This Scandinavian-influenced menu offers small plates like beet-cured gravlax and lobster salad; mains like sea scallops and Swedish meatballs, all served in a dreamy, cedar-paneled dining room where delicate birch trees arc across the ceiling. On summer evenings, grab a chair around the fire pit." - Justine Jones
