My daughter and I enjoyed a brunch table for two before a matinee theater performance last weekend. I've always loved this tucked away neighborhood treasure (next to one of my favorite local bookstores). It's a small dining room but it just feels special when you step inside. The staff is friendly, the bar and kitchen are always quietly humming, and the inside feels quaint with European vibes. We loved the live music from the string musician in the corner! I had the tofu hash, and my daughter had a classic breakfast with hashbrowns, eggs, and bacon. It's all the extra touches that make it fun. My peach Bellini was a step up from a regular mimosa. The orange marmalade served with the toast on my daughter's breakfast was Outstanding! And I enjoyed the combination of the flavors in the hash and the side greens. But maybe the best of all was dessert of coconut tres leches. I adore this place for a meal or a coffee and treat...and the patio tables in the summer are great, too.
One of my favorite Minneapolis restaurants. Small, but busting with charm, character, and a quality experience in the beautiful London shills neighborhood. It sits inside a former fire station, located just blocks from a quaint boutique downtown and the Lake Harriet Park and bandshell. It's a tucked away treasure. One big drawback: lack of parking is a problem. Plan to walk 3+ blocks from street parking...which is a serious issue for groups with people of low mobility/disability. If you can visit this restaurant/cafe, do it! And share it with friends and family for a memorable, unique dining memory.
There is something to be said about this charming establishment. Our group sat outside on the left patio while live music played. To me, it did not feel like we were in the city, but more like we were in a rustic country tavern in a small town. To start, we shared a bunch of appetizers, which included: Chicken Taco, Brussels Sprouts, French Fries, and Gnoochi. We enjoyed everything. The portions were great for our group. I had the Norwegian Salmon and thought it was just right and over done plus the size was perfect because after sharing all those appetizers, I was not sure if I had enough room for a large entree plus I enjoyed the cute ginger beer. My favorite was dessert. We shared the chocolate cake and the Coconut Tres Leches. All in all, it was a fun dining experience.
Went to this cute little restaurant for Mother's Day breakfast! We parked along the street and sat outside in the alley way underneath hanging lights and cover. I ordered the crab cake Benedict and iced vanilla latte. The Benedict had sooo many flavors and was so good! The only thing I wish it had was that it would have come with a side of potatoes or something in addition to the Benedict. For $20 it just wasn't filling enough for me personally. The iced vanilla latte also was lacking vanilla flavoring so I kindly asked for more and when it was returned it still tasted the same haha! Overall our service was great and our waitress was very kind/attentive. I recommend this spot for couples going out for a light bite or a place for friends to meet up.
This spot has become one of our go-tos because of the ambiance and amazing food. The patio is a great place for people watching and there was even live music! Delicious French-inspired food and the menu is not too overwhelming with options.
Good food, nice ambiance! The patio was very quaint and the food was fresh and flavorful.
Cute little restaurant; more like an elevated coffee shop vibe. Eclectic menu with a but if everything... duck confit taco w/ salsa diábolo, pipián, picked veg and cotija cheese..., entrees are a all over the place. The special is a braised lamb shank but there's also steak frites and oddly a turkey sandwich taco was too sweet and my sandwich was just a good sandwich. It's a solid local restaurant but not a place a tourist should flock too
