If you’re looking for some new culinary delights, there is no better place to go than Minneapolis. While you may not think of Minneapolis as a foodie city, it has many restaurants that have become the stuff of legends. Its cross-section of cultures makes this Midwestern city a shining example of diversity.
Enjoy Upscale Elegance at Spoon and Stable
Spoon and Stable somehow makes fine dining feel down-to-earth. The chefs take gourmet creativity to the next level, while the restaurant vibe makes guests feel warm and welcome. The menu changes often, so every time you go, you know you’ll get to try something new, but you can still count on seeing your favorites, such as rigatoni. Expect dishes such as cappelletti with morels and pasta made with heritage grains.
Best Breakfast in Town at Al’s Breakfast
As soon as you walk through the doors of Al’s, you’ll know you’re in for a treat. This classic diner has been serving up the best breakfast in town since 1950. No matter what you choose from the no-frills breakfast menu will always be cooked perfectly.
And, as a side note, Al’s is also known as the narrowest restaurant in Minneapolis. There’s always a wait to get into Al’s, so make sure you allow plenty of time, and head over before you’re too hungry.
Broders Pasta Bar: The Art of Fresh Pasta
There’s nothing like freshly made pasta, and Broders’ Pasta Bar takes it a step further. Each of the pasta and risotto items on the menu is always cooked to order, served perfectly al dente, and tossed to perfection. The best place to sit at this restaurant is at the bar, where you get the best view of the pasta chefs as they create the dish you ordered.
This is not your average italian restaurant. All the sauces are made individually to order. Ingredients are always fresh. You won’t see the kitchen staff ladling a premade sauce over your fresh pasta at this Minneapolis hot spot.
Bull’s Horn Food and Drink – From Fine Dining to Dive Bar
What do you get when a fine dining chef decides to tone things down a bit and open up a dive bar? You get Bull’s Horn. This is the place to go for cheap beer and outstanding bar food. The menu won’t surprise you; it has all your bar food favorites, from fried bologna sandwiches to nachos and burgers, but when they’re prepared by a top-notch chef, how they taste will surprise you.
Pizza Luce – Not Your Average Pizza
If you’re looking for a straight-up pepperoni pizza, you can find it in Minneapolis, but not at Pizza Luce. Here, you’ll be treated to brunch-style pizza, such as the baked potato pizza and the Mexican-style Elote pizza. Make sure to check out Uncle Rico’s jalapeno popper pizza with cilantro cream cheese and fire-roasted red pepper or one of the pasta dishes. They will blow you away.
