THE HELFRICH'S RETIRED!
The Hilltop Inn is a full service restaurant founded by Mark and Marie Helfrich in the fall of 1987 just south of Park Rapids on Long Lake . It started as a lowly spot to come and grab some lunch but quickly found it's niche as a casual dinner destination for families of all ages.
But now... we're excited to hand the reigns over to Chef Joel London!
Chef Joel London brings world class culinary training and many years of international and local experience to the Minnesota Northwoods, the homeland that shaped his sense of place. He is now happy to be cooking with techniques of many cuisines practiced under guidance of premier chefs. Each catering menu reaches for and respects the highest quality products grown and created here in Minnesota.
Within our local culture, Chef London's team will strive to bring you the finest flavors and warmest hospitality.
The Hilltop Inn under Chef Joel London opens its doors Wednesday- Friday for you to experience our Northwoods Cuisine and Hospitality. Make a reservation to taste our ever-changing menu. New inspiration is drawn from what ingredients are the freshest and finest available from our gardens, local farmers and ranchers, and all-time greats from across the Earth.
