Madison Restaurants

The friendly southern city of Madison has won many "Best of Mississippi" awards and the dining options are, no doubt, a big part of what makes this growing city so attractive. Despite the scenic surroundings, the fare in Madison is surprisingly cosmopolitan. There's plenty of comfort food, of course, but there are also plenty of menus reflective of the farm-to-table movement and less expected cuisines like Mediterranean and Japanese. Southern staples like shrimp and grits or black-eyed peas are served at buffets and bistros alike. Contemporary menus offer soul food with a twist, resulting in dishes like shrimp corn dogs. Stuffed grape leaves are a delicious departure from all the fried favorites. If you're looking for bright, simple flavors, try a Hokkaido Roll.
