Guidebook for Traverse City
Food Scene
A historic piece of Old Mission that you don't want to miss, originally the Bowers Harbor Inn built in the 1880s. The historic charm of the restaurant is an experience you won't find anywhere else.
This low key spot is great to grab a couple wood fired pizzas, or snack on some truffle fries with a cold microbrew.
Recommended drinks: the locally distilled cherry flavored vodka or a Diabolical craft beer. *But you can't go wrong with anything on the menu!
