Cafe Seiche

We were staying in Bayfield and were planning on eating at a wonderful restaurant in town on the day of our anniversary. Our anniversary landed on a Sunday and they weren't open for Sunday dinners yet. We read reviews and decided that Cafe Seiche might be worth the ferry trip to Madeline Island. It is a short walk to the restaurant from the ferry landing so you don't need to bring a car. The food was excellent! The best we had so far this weekend. The waitress was wonderful and suggested a great wine to go with my almond crusted trout. My husband's beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection.The chocolate cake with chocolate ganache was the perfect ending to our wonderful meal. The pictures don't do it justice. We had taken some bites out of each of the plates before I remembered to take a picture. 🙄 We will definitely make the trip again next time.

My new wife and I went in for an early dinner. We started with a smoked white fish cake. The texture was like a custard that was totally unexpected but it was so good! I had the beef tenderloin and my wife had the fish entree. I don't recall what it was but I remember it and the beef were cooked perfect. We were excited for our first visit and we were not disappointed!

The food was excellent! I had the Whitefish salad sandwich and it was better than any tuna salad I've ever had and my wife had roast beef that was also incredible and the best part was that it was served up fresh with in about 4 minutes time which is faster than any drive-through I've ever been in LOL!
Kudos Cafe sachet 5 star

I had the tenderloin and my boyfriend had pork. Both were excellent. The presentation of the food was gorgeous! Recommend!

Omg! Sunday night of Memorial Day weekend and they're serving lighter fare. We're sharing a cup of celery and gorgonzola soup (wow!), a whitefish salad on a croissant (excellent), and a "too live for" chocolate truffle cake (decadent)! Happy 40th anniversary to me!

Cafe Seiche is da' place to go... food was thoughtfully prepared and delicious! And the staff was fantastic and friendly. Without a doubt, I will be back!

As always, a great night with excellently prepared local dishes. Great service as well!

The whitefish roulade was outstanding. There are some public land picnic tables next door that we used to post up and enjoy our takeout during covid. They offered some to go utencils and were generous with the portions. Two entrees and two small plates was more than enough to satisfy two hungry people. The tenderloin was also delicious but I felt the whitefish really showed some talent. Polenta and some other sides could have used some salt but I'm not going to nitpick a place like this. We're on an island and they have an amazing product. No idea how they source all this amazing local food. What a place!

We worked with Cafe Seiche for our small wedding dinner in October and were very pleased with how everything turned out! The food was delicious and exactly what we were looking for in farm-to-table style restaurant! We would recommend them to anyone looking for catering for a small/medium size event on Madeline Island!

We visit here every year during our anniversary trip to Madeline Island. The food here is well designed and executed. They focus on local ingredients and making dishes that are just a bit more classy than you'd expect from a little restaurant on the Island. The decor is homey, the staff is friendly, and the food is good. Definitely worth a visit!

Best restaurant on the island. I am always surprised by the creative new dishes they come up with, all using beautifully fresh local ingredients. You’ll leave feeling healthy and satiated, not overstuffed. Wine selection represents great value and tastes better than you’d expect.

Was so pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! The food was fresh and delicious. Greens grown on site. We had a couple of fish dishes and a beef pot pie and all of them were excellent. Staff was very nice and attentive! I would make a special trip over from Bayfield just to go to this restaurant!

Always delicious, always local, always quality food and experience. Out of all the options on Madeline Island, Cafe Seiche is the best place to go for dinner. Support local! And if it's on the menu you MUST try the Key Lime Tart.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. This restaurant would be among the best in any city, and it’s quite a surprise to find it on Madeline Island. There were five entrees on the menu the night we went, and it was hard to choose between them since they all looked so good! If you go, try and get a seat on the outside porch. The view of the sunset is amazing.

If you want fine dinning and still be able to pay for the rest of your vacation. Cafe Seiche is a delectable choice. Everything is made from scratch with a touch of a farm house supper on a Sunday at Granny's, Such a warm inviting place to sit and relax. My husband I will definitely be making this a permanent place to eat at when we come back to the island. Great work Chris Seiche, and all of your employees!!!!

Soooo good. Tomato dill soup. Local herb and pesto whitefish. Housemade espresso panna cotta. Perfectly balanced dishes with all the right flavors- hit all the right spots. Well-paced dining that is ALWAYS worth the wait. And sunset view was the icing. (Mom with the melt-in-your-mouth perfectly done tenderloin for the win!). Unassuming, Island atmosphere with dishes that don’t disappoint. If you miss this, you’re missing out.

The best takeout dinner we’ve ever had! Don’t skip the soup nor desserts because those were both phenomenal as well.

I'm a regular on the island and do not like to go ordering, thought I'd try it tonight. Got home put my food on a dinner plate and thought I was in their dinning room, food was fantastic highly recommended!!

Great food and wonderful service on beautiful Madeline Island. Perfect. For some reason, Google sometimes shows this as a review of Lotta's, which is the predecessor of Cafe Seiche. My review is of Seiche

Great restaurant. Great food.
