🇺🇸 Madison Food Recommendations - Part 1!! ☀️

After a super long winter and an almost nonexistent spring, we’re finally enjoying the bright and sunny summer! 🌞 Here are a few chic restaurants perfect for summer—make sure to book in advance for these! 🍽️✨ Tempest Oyster Bar 🦪 All-you-can-eat oysters with a huge variety and super fresh. After all, it’s the "gas station for men, spa for women" 😉! For mains, the lobster is absolutely top-notch, and the salmon is delicious too. Their desserts are great, and the drinks are pretty strong—had me feeling a little buzz 🍸😅. Perfect place for an amazing dinner! 💵 Per person: $70-100 Samba Brazilian Grill 🍍🔥 All-you-can-eat Brazilian barbecue (churrasco style) located on the second floor downtown. Nice atmosphere! Waiters bring different kinds of grilled meat to your table—you just say yes or no. Fun system: Each table gets a token (like a big hourglass) with green on one side and red on the other. Green means "keep the meat coming!" 🟢, red means "I need a break" or "I’m done" 🔴. Highly recommend the grilled pineapple and beef—sooo flavorful! There’s also a salad bar with veggies, fruits, cold dishes, and sides. 💵 Per person: $50-80 Red 🍣 A modern take on Japanese cuisine with very Instagrammable presentation. The sushi rolls are pretty big—seems tailored more to American tastes. This place is popular, but personally, I didn’t find it super standout. Though my friends highly recommend their ramen—worth a try! 💵 Per person: $60-90 #FoodDiscovery #DateNightSpot #HiddenRestaurantGems #MadisonWI #USA #StudyAbroad #SummerVibes 🍹📸
