Great Dining Options in Peoria

Let's Eat!

Dining in Peoria is a special treat. Whatever your tastes, we’ve got the food you’ll love. From fast food to fine dining, you’ll find it in Peoria.

Beyond the standard franchise fare of Olive Garden, TGI Fridays, Lone Star and others, we’ve got plenty of unique local dining establishments for you to experience. For instance, if you’re downtown and want a relaxing, elegant atmosphere try Jim’s Steakhouse. In Peoria Heights, you can’t go wrong with Seven on Prospect, Jim’s Bistro, Cyd’s Peoria and Vonachen’s Old Place. For a well-regarded, new upscale restaurant and wine shop visit French Toast. These are some of our personal favorites.

However, if you’re mouth is watering for authentic Italian cuisine, visit Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse, Rizzi’s or Paparazzi.

For an entertaining dining experience, try a Japanese steakhouse such as Sushi Gawa or Yamamoto Japanese Grill and watch the masters in action.
