Top 5 Places to Eat on Bridge Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan
Sovengard - There is no cooler setting on Bridge street than The Sovengard. When you walk in off Bridge street you will be blown away by the unique ambiance. Nestled in the back of their Garden level restaurant, their Bier Garten, is the perfect escape for city dwellers and foodies alike. The Scandinavian titles can be a bit intimidating , however, a server’s suggestion has never lead me astray and I’ve always LOVED it! I’ve honestly never had something from here I didn’t enjoy. This restaurant is farm to table and the owners, Rick and Kelly, have created a taste and an environment you will never forget.
