- Broder’s Pasta Bar
As you guessed, family-owned Broder’s Pasta Bar is home to some of the finest Italian cuisine Minneapolis has to offer at 5000 Penn Ave. S. Since 1994, the Broder’s have mastered the art of pasta making. They combine fresh, local ingredients — some that they grow on site — and handmade or imported pasta and risottos.
This cozy neighborhood spot cooks everything to order, such as the pappardelle with lamb ragu. They offer an excellent selection of Italian wines and budget-friendly daily specials. Broder’s doesn’t take reservations, so plan to arrive early for the best table or have a seat on their inviting patio.
- Young Joni
When you’ve got a hankering for award-winning, wood-fired pizza, the stylish Young Joni’s in northeast Minneapolis at 165 13th Ave NE. is your best choice. At this venue, the standard pie is exceeded only by chef Ann Kim’s inventive creations such as the asparagus and egg pizza.
Her salsa macha, cilantro, and lime chicken wings are also delicious. Why not try a Korean-inspired dish? Whatever you order, it’ll pair perfectly with a cocktail, mug of beer or glass of wine from Young Joni’s hidden back-bar speakeasy.
- Chef Shack Ranch
Led by the godmothers of the Twin Cities food truck scene, Lisa Carlson and Carrie Summers, the ladies at Chef Shack Ranch offer a newly-opened, rustic-chic brick-and-mortar restaurant for your weekend dining pleasure. These talented chefs are cooking your favorites all year and pack every bite with flavor.
This cozy, casual-dining restaurant with a country-French flare offers easy counter-service. Select from a handful of perfectly executed dishes on the menu including the local favorite bison burger and other eclectic, organic comfort food. Find the food truck at the Mill City Farmer’s Market every Saturday from now until Oct. 25, 2019.
- The Lexington
Minnesota is home to a variety of traditional supper clubs, such as The Lexington at 1096 Grand Ave. in nearby St. Paul. This is one venue where every meal kicks off with a stiff drink and a relish tray.
The Lexington’s chef perfectly prepares scrumptious classic dishes like the pan-seared chicken breast with kohlrabi or a double-cut pork chop straight off the wood-fired grill and topped with blueberry, maple, and cracked pepper. When you sit down for dinner at The Lexington, order a brandy and prepare to be pampered.
These days, the Minneapolis food scene is garnering even more attention than ever before. The available number of terrific places to eat just keeps growing, making it difficult to decide where to go. Why not start with one of these four great restaurants in the Twin Cities area?
