Twin Cities food spots
Bole Ethiopian Cuisine
Ethiopian restaurant · Como Park
New location since their old restaurant burned down in the protests. Love their Awaze Tibs!
Korea Eatery
Temporarily Closed
Also called Arirang Korea. One of those hole-in-the-wall restaurants that serves up amazing food.
Sea Salt Eatery
Temporarily Closed
Best fish-tacos-that-you-can-eat-while-watching-a-waterfall-in-a-park experience. Only open in the summer, sadly.
Al's Breakfast
Breakfast restaurant · Marcy-Holmes
What can I say? It’s iconic. It’s Al’s. Best blueberry pancakes you’re going to find in a hole in a wall joint.

Day Block Brewing Company
Brewery · Downtown East
I had garlic knots here once and I think it may qualify as a religious experience.
Pho 79
Vietnamese restaurant · St. Anthony
Get your pho on!
Surly Brewing Company
Brewery · Prospect Park - East River Road
Like beer? Visit this beer hall…food is fantastic too!
Can Can Wonderland
Mini Golf · Hamline-Midway
Food! Cocktails! Mini golf! Arcade! All indoors so you can have fun even in the middle of a Minnesota winter!
Shish Cafe
Mediterranean restaurant · Macalester-Groveland
Mmmm, meat on sticks….come for the kebabs, stay for the cake.
Hmong Village
Market · Dayton's Bluff
Got some time on your hand? Wander the Hmong Village, get some papaya salad and enjoy the marketplace!
Red Stag Supperclub
Permanently Closed
Excellent food and drink. Perfect to celebrate something special or have a romantic night out.
Isles Bun & Coffee
Bakery · East Isles
Order the fresh Puppy Dog Tails with frosting. That is all.
Mama's Pizza
Pizza Place · North End
Family owned Italian restaurant. Generous portions and great customer service. During the before times (pre-pandemic) the best part was getting the complimentary mini ice cream cone at the end of the meal. Perfect!

Master Noodle
Chinese noodle restaurant · Hamline-Midway
Hand-tossed Chinese noodles! If you like spicy, go for the Garlic Noodles and Sichuan Wontons.
