112 Eatery				4 User Reviews
112 N 3rd St.	American	$$$	Minneapolis (Downtown)
When Minneapolis chef Isaac Becker (formerly of D'Amico Cucina and Café Lurcat) and his wife Nancy St. Pierre (a decade in the front of the house at Cucina) opened their homey little downtown restaurant with its cozy booths, they changed the face of fine dining in Minneapolis. First,... More >>

Cafe Levain				Write a Review
4762 Chicago Ave. S.	American, Contemporary, French	$$, $$$	Powderhorn
Reborn from the ashes of former fine-dining standard-bearer Restaurant Levain, Café Levain is a T-shirt casual, safe and sound little French-oriented bistro, with the emphasis on safe and sound. The French onion soup is the best in town--beefy as a steak, comforting as a quilt, and... More >>

Cafe Maude				Write a Review
5411 Penn Ave. S.	American, Breakfast, Wine Bar	$$, $$$	Southwest
Café Maude debuted in 2007 with a simple idea: Be as chic as Chanel, as hip as a San Francisco DJ, and as affordable as T.G.I.Friday’s. Sound good to you? Yeah, you and everyone else in town. If you do ever get in, some of the highlights you’ll find: creative cocktails (try the... More >>

Mill City Farmers Market, 704 S Second St.	American	$	Minneapolis (Downtown)
This mobile kitchen operated by two local culinary pros, Carrie Summer and Lisa Carlson, dispels misconceptions about mediocre street food every Saturday morning during the Mill City Farmers' Market and Sundays at the Kingfield Farmers' Market. Summer handles the sweets, and Carlson, the chef at... More >>

Corner Table				2 User Reviews
4257 Nicollet Ave. S	American, Wine Bar	$$$, $$$$	Kingfield
Most of food-oriented Minneapolis was reeling when three of our biggest of our big-name restaurants closed, namely Auriga, Five, and Restaurant Levain. What to do? Where to go? Who would carry the locally sourced, local-talent train forward? Luckily, the answer was right in plain sight, at the... More >>

The Craftsman Restaurant				Write a Review
4300 E Lake St.	American	$$	Seward/ Longfellow/ Minnehaha
The first really nice, upscale, celebration-destination dinner restaurant in the recent history of East Lake Street combines an American Arts and Crafts decorating scheme, a lovely outdoor patio, an over-ambitious menu, and a wonderful bar that serves a number of imaginative, well-executed, and...

Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant				Write a Review
1010 Nicollet Mall	American, Burgers, Contemporary, Wine Bar	$$, $$$	Minneapolis (Downtown)
The standard line on the Dakota is that it has the best food of any jazz club in the country. That's got to be true, but doesn't really cover it. When there is no music playing at all, the Dakota is a very classy lunch or dinner spot, thanks to the great work of chef Jack Riebel, formerly of... More >>

Grand Café				Write a Review
3804 Grand Ave. S	American, Bistro, French	$$, $$$	Kingfield
The white vintage oven at the Grand Cafe has been there for more than 60 years, baking basic sugar cookies for the Grand Bakery and, in more recent years, delicate scones for the Bakery on Grand. The quaint little storefront, with its multi-paned windows and scuffed hardwood floors, seems... More >>

Heartland				Write a Review
1806 St. Clair Ave.	American, Health, Wine Bar	$$$, $$$$	Macalester/ Groveland
In the grand tradition of emigrés who appreciate their adopted land more than the natives do, Jersey-native, French-kitchen-trained Lenny Russo is the Minnesota chef most dedicated to exploring the possibilities of a native Midwestern cuisine. Amazing explorations of Midwestern bounty can... More >>

Heidi's				Write a Review
819 W 50th St.	American	$$, $$$	Southwest
Pilot yourself over to Heidi's, the new restaurant by Stewart Woodman, and try to get a table in the first dining room, against the east wall. From there you can turn your head to the left at any given moment and see Chef Woodman, onetime New York City power player at such restaurants as Alain... More >>

Modern Cafe				Write a Review
337 13th Ave. NE	American, Breakfast, Diner, Wine Bar	$, $$	University
The pot roast at the Modern is the stuff of legend. The fries and breakfasts are tops, too. And the fact that you can get beer and wine? That's the sprinkles on top of the cherry on top of the whipped cream on top of the sundae. Is the Modern the absolute perfect definitive postmodern diner?... More >>

Sea Salt Eatery				2 User Reviews
4825 Minnehaha Ave.	American, Seafood	$, $$	Nokomis
Sea Salt is a consternating force in the life of Twin Cities fish lovers. On the one hand, it's got the best fresh fish in town, like oysters shucked as you watch, which taste chilly, silky, fresh, and briny as ocean mornings. Like fried haddock baskets offering fish fillets so crisp they snap;... More >>

Strip Club				1 User Reviews
378 Maria Avenue	American, Steakhouse	$$, $$$	Phalen
This cheekily named meat-and-fish joint is the sophomore venture from two of the founders of the Town Talk Diner in Minneapolis, so expect a similarly playful attitude. The dark, clubby digs inside a historic Dayton’s Bluff building recall St. Paul’s gangster days and make it a perfect... More >>

Town Talk Diner				2 User Reviews
2707 1/2 E Lake St.	American, Breakfast, Diner	$$, $$$	Seward/ Longfellow/ Minnehaha
Let the British have their gastropubs, for here in the Midwest we are taking it to the next level: Meet the Town Talk, the world's first gastro-diner. Pancakes? Check. Milkshakes? Check. A glossy, stainless-steel lunch counter straight out of a 1960s pop culture museum? Double check. But there... More >>
