La Rana

Ever once in a while, you stumble upon one of those unassuming Main Street bistros that turn out to be serving up amazing food with a shocking bar selection. That’s exactly what happened with La Rana. My cousin and his wife said that it’s one of their favorites and after this chicken salad, I can see why. The ciabatta was pillowy soft and this Sriracha almond chicken salad was perfection. The salad was lightly dressed with an amazing balsamic vinaigrette, and I’m glad that I split the sandwich with someone because it would have been tough to get through both halves. My only regret is not going back there and having the chicken curry special with a glass of wine in the evening.

Can’t speak highly enough. This place is a gem. The workers are great. The people. The atmosphere. Definitely a place for high quality food and people.

Best meal on our trip thus far and the service matched! Highly recommend, great food/drinks, fun atmosphere and great vibes 😉 We had the salmon and the Special which was a Green Curry Hake 🙌🏻

Amazing food in great atmosphere! My wife and I agree that it was the best, most flavorful meal we’ve had at any restaurant in years. The service was terrific even on a busy night Valentine’s night and we will definitely be back the next time we’re in Decorah.

La Rana is a wonderful little upscale bistro just off of the main street in Decorah. We made reservations ahead of time for a Friday night visit. We were greeted at the door and had wonderful service all evening. The menu is filled with items that you will not find in most Iowa towns. The bar also has options to meet everyone's taste. Everything we ordered was very good and came in a timely manner. Definitely worth a visit when in Decorah.
