The 10 Best Restaurants In Bridgeport, Connecticut
Located on the Long Island Sound in Connecticut, Bridgeport is known for picturesque shoreline parks, the annual Barnum Festival, and an abundance of fresh seafood. Not limited to seafood, however, the city also has a number of choice venues serving everything from all-American steak to tapas and Italian specialities. We explore ten of the best restaurants in the area.
1. Joseph’s Steakhouse
Joseph’s Steakhouse
Attentive service and a love of simple, good-quality steak characterise Joseph’s Steakhouse on Fairfield Avenue. Frequently and positively reviewed by a variety of magazines from across America, Joseph’s Steakhouse has been a respected venue since opening in 2000. The culinary experience of the owner, Joseph Kustra, who was born in Croatia, lived in France and has worked in America ever since, is evident in the menu, which features stone-crab claws, USDA prime dry-aged beef, and the signature steak sauce. The wine list is extensive and the small selection of desserts is as tempting as the mains, including apple strudel, pecan pie, and a variety of after-dinner drinks. Inside, the décor is simple: the rustic heavy wood and white tablecloths indicate that the main attraction is the quality of the homemade food.
