Some people say Parlour has the best burger and chicken sandwich in the city. I'll let you decide for yourself! If you go, make sure you also try the popcorn - it has bacon, togarashi and pineapple on it which sounds odd but is delicious, I promise! The space isn't huge so might not be the best for a large group of people.

Quite possibly our favorite restaurant in the city. The pan-fried gnocchi and stringozzi with lamb sugo are absolutely delicious. Don't skip out on dessert - the butterscotch budino will make your night! Reservations are highly recommended if you do decide to go here.

Inspired by dishes that Chef Christina Nguyen grew up eating at home, at family celebrations, in Vietnamese Sunday school basements & during several trips to Southeast Asia, you can expect to find more than just the standards like pho & pad thai.
You won't be disappointed if you go here! The cocktails are just as much a part of the meal as the food. I like the Hanoi Sticky Rice and the Vietnamese Crepe. Recognized as a James Beard finalist: Best Chef Midwest in 2019 and 2020, and a semifinalist in 2018.

The Hi-Lo Diner is just a quick hop, skip and jump away from our home. The owners brought an original 1957 Federo Diner all the way from Gibsonia, PA to Minneapolis, MN to continue a great American tradition. If you go, make sure you try one of the famous Hi-Tops - a sweet or savory combination on top of one of their famous donuts!

A Minneapolis staple since 1994, Turtle Bread is known for their flavorful artisan breads, pastries, soups, cookies and pies. They have a delicious breakfast and lunch menu - I like to get a slice of quiche and a ginger cookie and sit at one of their outside tables to enjoy the neighborhood.
