    October was a big month for restaurant news – from announcements of new openings and closings to our food critic’s exciting list of Milwaukee’s best restaurants.

    The culinary scene is constantly evolving in Milwaukee. Here is an overview of the latest news:

    Milwaukee’s Best Restaurants

    For the first time since 2019, the Journal Sentinel published a list of The 25 Best Restaurants in Milwaukee. The list — chosen by the food critic Rachel Bernhard — included long-standing restaurants as well as a restaurant new to the Milwaukee dining scene.

    “I’ll be honest. It was intimidating,” Bernhard wrote. “Months of planning reservations, driving across town, making difficult menu choices, taking notes, reviewing the service, and testing the limits of my appetite were necessary to make these selections.”

    Bernhard also created a shorter, more economical list of Milwaukee’s Top 10 Casual Restaurants for Everyday Dining.

    Little Cancun Sports: After five years in Bay View, Little Cancun Sports, located at 3040 S. Delaware Ave., has closed its doors.
