Our Front Porch







Lotta's is a lively, unpretentious bistro reflecting owner/chef Chris and Janel's commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients supplied by local farmers and fishermen. It's just a short ferry ride from scenic Bayfield to Madeline Island where you can savor the culinary creations of our ever-changing menu. We offer, in our dining room or on our open-air covered porch, the perfect setting to entertain, mingle, or watch the sunset.
