Baltimore is a great place to be a foodie. From celebrated chefs to easy access to locally sourced ingredients (think: farmland galore and the Chesapeake Bay), there are many reasons why it’s one of the country’s most delicious spots. Whether you are a Charm City local working your way through a dining bucket list or a visitor in town needing a bit of direction for your next night out, here are eight of the top spots that the Gogobot community is raving about right now, including some new kids on the block along with a few tried-and-true favorites.
W.C. Harlan
Go for: The fun of an unpretentious speakeasy, the mood of 1920s styling, and the taste of a perfectly executed craft cocktail.
Azumi

Go for: Sushi made with top-quality seafood, including some imported from Japan. Make sure you get a table with a view of the harbor — it’s almost as good as the food.
The Bun Shop

Go for: Carbs. If it comes in bun form, The Bun Shop probably has it, from sweet swirl buns to empanadas.
The Charmery

Go for: Ice cream with a twist, the “twist” being unique Baltimore flavors, like Berger cookies and — for the bold — Old Bay seasoning.
Bar Clavel

Go for: Cocktails with mezcal, tequila’s smokier cousin, and tacos from the team that’s also behind W.C. Harlan (see above).
The Food Market Baltimore

Go for: The Amish soft pretzels and then something hearty from the “big” portion of the menu — the steak frites is a good bet.
Shake Shack

Go for: The most beloved burger on the East Coast. Yes, it’s a chain, but if you haven’t tried it yet, you can now at the first (and still only) location in Maryland.
Atwater’s

Go for: A traditional Scottish pie and a warm beverage — both the coffee and tea are highly recommended.
