Canter Inn

Flavor, finesse, and a new favorite in town. We’re always on the hunt for spots that do less but do it better—and Canter nails it. The menu may be minimal, but that’s a good sign: fresh ingredients, focused execution, and zero filler. We kicked things off with oysters and tartare—both bursting with flavor and plated with care. For mains, I went with the Sweet & Sour Pork short rib (tender, rich, and perfectly balanced), while my wife had the Skate Wing—delicate, buttery, and cooked to perfection. The vibe? Warm, intimate, and full of character. Canter Inn is housed in a beautifully restored Victorian-style home in New Glarus, and the space blends historic charm with modern elegance. It’s the kind of place that feels special the moment you walk in. Thrilled to have a restaurant of this

The wife and I took advantage of the Thanksgiving menu tonight, and we’re so glad we did. We started with the shrimp cocktail, then enjoyed sides of rice pilaf, spinach, milk bread, and mouth-watering sweet potatoes, all of which were absolutely delicious. The turkey was roasted to perfection, with generous portions all around. We’re locals and can’t say enough good things about the staff. If you’re in New Glarus, it’s well worth a stop.

Canter Inn is such an amazing addition to New Glarus! The restaurant is in an old restored home and they managed to make it warm and cozy while keeping the beautiful, original details. All of our food was awesome - we especially enjoyed the homemade rolls, rosti potato sticks, steak, and desserts. Lots of great mocktail options for those who don't drink, too. Our server was wonderful. Thanks Canter Inn for giving my mother-in-law such a special birthday.

An absolutely wonderful place to spend an evening. Warm, comfortable, great music, and the most gracious, kind, and talented folks to complete the evening. Just had Wednesday night special of walleye fish fry, which included appetizer of pickled deviled eggs, and roesti(rosti) sticks, red cabbage, and old fashioned. They also made a wonderful pan seared Gluten free version of the walleye for my daughter. The affogato dessert was lovely. Will be back weekly. Thank you all!

We had an incredible meal at the Canter Inn on Friday night. The rosti sticks with fondue and beef tartare were standout starters. The pork shirt ribs with braised cabbage was seasoned beautifully and the perfect marriage of rich and bright flavors. The pork loin with old fashioned au poivre and pimento grits- the sauce and grits would taste excellent on just about anything, but the pork was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully. We had chocolate mousse pie for dessert, which somehow wasn’t too rich at the end of the meal, and the toasted coconut on top gave it a little texture and flavor boost. The service we received was 10/10. Dining out with dietary restrictions can be tough, but the server made it so easy for me to find items on the menu that I could safely eat, and I was pleasa
