15 Minneapolis Restaurants With Patios Open and Serving
"If you want a great glass of wine in a classic Saint Paul spot, head to W.A. Frost in Cathedral Hill. The wine cellar boasts one of the most robust wine lists available in the Twin Cities, and we recommend asking for any current wine flight with the food pairing."
"Casual upscale American cuisine in a historic, landmark building. Boasts what many consider to be the best outdoor dining patio in the Twin Cities. With an extensive wine list and warm ambiance, W.A Frost is the ideal place to celebrate a special occasion."
"During the summer months, you’ll often find a line at Milkjam full of people waiting to try their most recent creations. Don’t let it scare you off – it moves quickly and it’s completely worth it!. If the names of their concoctions don’t lure you (“Cereal Killers” – orange coriander milk with candied fruity pebbles, or “Ridin Duuurty” – Oreo milk with Oreo chunks and salted peanut butter), their flavor combinations certainly will."
"Milkjam Creamery is a modern ice cream shop that serves unique flavors, like Hard Knock Life (dark chocolate, salted pretzels, brownies, and chocolate fudge), Thai tea, and Poppin Bottles (champagne sorbet with sprinkles). The flight of four is a great way to taste a few different flavors, but our favorite thing to get here is the Jam Bun, a warm donut sandwich with your choice of ice cream served inside."
"The Jam Bun is a Minnesota ice cream/donut match made in heaven, and it’s made with local Glam Doll donuts. If you’re craving ice cream on a beautiful day, like the rest of the human race, be prepared to wait for at least an hour in line – Milkjam is a teeny bit famous."
"Since the new owner/chef took over the Cherokee Tavern (formerly known as the Cherokee Sirloin Room) is one of the best restaurants in the St. Paul area...."
"…before the pandemic and Nordstrom was the perfect place to meet. The waiter was pleasant, helpful, and fun. The atmosphere conducive to our conversation and the food very pleasing."
"A few years ago, I’d just returned from a week-long trip to Costa Rica. (For anyone who’s ever been to Costa Rica, you know that the hugely flavorful Arroz con Pollo is the unofficial national dish of that country.) Fresh off the plane with a huge craving, I found myself searching all over the Twin Cities for a place serving this authentic dish. Not only did Chimborazo have it (they call it Chaulafan) but their version was nearly an exact replica to the dish I’d fallen in love with, nearly 3,000 miles away."
"Elegant and trendy might describe this restaurant, but the dishes they serve here are totally unpretentious and globally-inspired. Serving up seasonal small plates, Fig + Farro is quickly becoming known as one of the best vegan restaurants in Minneapolis for their rotating international cuisine and outstanding vegan brunch."
"A post shared by RIVA (@rivash4) on Jan 18, 2020 at 11:13pm PST. Situated inside Calhoun Square, fig + farro serves vegan food with bold global flavors, along with craft cocktails. The space is trendy and elegant and exudes a chill vibe."
"Not only do they serve chicken, but they also offer milkshakes, biscuits, and mac n’ cheese. It’s tried-and-true American comfort food. Their mission is to create vegan meats and cheeses that are even better than the real thing!"
"In south Minneapolis is this totally vegan bakery and they’ve got plenty for you to choose from including many gluten-free options. For owner Shelia Nelson, baking vegan goods started off a just a hobby, but as she kept getting more and more request decided it was finally time to open up a store front. Vegan East has an assortment of tasty treats, but what will impress you the most is just how beautifully decorated the cakes and cupcakes are."
"Okay, so like the No. 1 restaurant on this list, Vegan East isn’t technically a full-fledged restaurant, but upon biting into one of their scrumptious plant-based cupcakes or cheesecakes, we think you’ll agree with us that it deserves a spot on this list. You’ll find the best vegan baked goods and desserts at Vegan East. But, they’ve also been known to serve other tasty treats, such as vegan hot dogs."
"Owner Sheila Nelson's handiwork includes festive cakes (with by-the-slice and special-occasion options) and cupcakes, cinnamon rolls and bars, along with a small array of sandwiches and soups."
"J.D. Hoyt’s is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, claiming stake as a well-known establishment in Minneapolis. This old-style steakhouse is acclaimed for its atmosphere and a wide variety of cocktails. You’ll be transported from modern times to the Art Nouveau era as soon as you step through the swinging doors!"
"JD Hoyt's es un mesón de carretera situado en el floreciente distrito de almacenes de la zona antigua de Minneapolis. El restaurante es un lugar acogedor que cuenta con un menú amplio, bar completo y una carta de vinos de un valor extraordinario. Los platillos que se ofrecen están preparados en una..."
"South, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the hair salon, day spa and nail salon 4.5 stars out of 33 reviews."
"Next up is Summit-University's Gem Salon and Spa, situated at 526 Selby Ave. With 4.5 stars out of 31 reviews on Yelp, the hair salon, nail salon and skin care spot has proven to be a local favorite."
