 Seriously Good Eats! |
112, North 3rd Street Minneapolis, MN 55401 United States +1 612 343 7696 http://www.112eatery.com/defau... |
If there are any nonbelievers out there saying there isn't world-class cuisine in Minnesota, send them to 112 Eatery and they will eat their words, along with every tasty morsel put in front of them at this popular restaurant. The food here has been praised by publications like, eh hem, Food and Wine magazine and Bon Appetite. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, also lively well into the night, since they serve late. The Lamb Scottadito is simply to die for, and the Nori Encrusted Sirloin w/ Ponzu bursts with flavor, then gently melts in your mouth. They also have a very impressive and diverse wine list, and a broad selection of dessert wines and ports. People come here for the whole dining experience, and it won't disappoint. If you are thinking of eating here, well, you probably are thinking just like everyone else, so make it easy on yourself and make a reservation. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Quaint little café |
128 Cleveland Ave North Minneapolis, MN 55104 United States +1 651 645 4128 http://www.128cafe.net/ |
The 128 Café, with its varnished pine paneling and cozy seating, has a stylish romantic charm, to which the white linen tablecloths and flower vases add a touch of elegance. The simple menu features very tasty offerings. The sauteed chicken breast with charred tomato and basil salsa or the vegetarian entree of grilled red peppers, asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash and shiitake mushrooms served over pasta are very satisfying. A side order of grilled or broiled shrimp complements any dish. Top off your meal with a chocolate chunk brownie a la mode with caramelized pecans and chocolate sauce. A selection of wines, beers, fruit juices, coffees, teas and mineral waters are served. Brunch is offered on Sundays from 10am-2pm. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Make the scene in the hot zone |
2916 Hennepin Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55408 United States +1 612 824 7878 http://www.chinolatino.com/ |
This joint in artsy Uptown is usually wall-to-wall people, noisy and busy. Chino Latino is about dressing well, being current and making the scene. Look for the sparkly glitter marquee. If you can, stake out a large round, comfortable booth or group size table. The food and drink is as chic as the crowd. The menu features dishes from south of the border and Asia with many selections being hot and spicy. Choose from tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, Sweet and Sour Chicken, spring rolls stuffed with shrimp, chicken or noodles, shrimp and chicken curries, or Thai Curry Beef. The bar serves Japanese Saki, wines from France, Italy and Germany along with domestic vintages. The beer list is one of the best in town and cocktails are made with 'top shelf' liquors. Of course, soft drinks and fruit juices are also available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hearty and Sober Hippe Breakfast |
477 Seventh St W Minneapolis, Minnesota 55102 United States +1 6512270654 |
Hearty egg and potato dishes accompany a wide selection of fresh bread. As you might expect, the Day by Day Caf� doesn't serve alcohol, but you certainly won't miss it with the nice, strong Dunn Bros. Coffee flows freely for the price of a single cup. The dining room is spacious, brick-lined and decorated with unique art. During the summer months, the back patio is open for a remarkably pleasant experience, but get there early on weekends to avoid crowds. Dinner is also served on weekdays. Early-rising or nocturnal locals get there before 7am for the Very Early Bird special, but prices are reasonable all day. Cash or cheque only - Marie Richie Review © 2007, Wcities |

Simple and chic |
2990 West River Parkway Minneapolis, MN 55406 United States +1 612 721 2711 http://www.longfellowgrill.com/ |
This is another successful endeavor by the Blueplate Restaurant Company (no relation to H. W. Longfellow and his penciled ponderings!). In this grill, dark wood rules the interior, and the many windows allow for natural lighting. Dine on the patio and watch the Mississippi flow by, or inside, where the feisty waitresses are at your beck and call. An entree like the French Quarter Fettuccini should not be given a miss, unless you opt for the Gorgonzola Tamales. Enjoy the funky paintings as you wait for your meal to arrive.
