Grand Traverse Resort Restaurants
Traverse City has been recognized by Condé Nast Traveler, Bon Appétit, and The Daily Meal for its first-rate restaurants, artisan chefs, and locally grown, gourmet fare.
You'll find all of that and more here at the Resort, where the finest ingredients are sourced from both near and far. Menus change seasonally to take advantage of fresh local produce.
