I'm a bit of a foodie and I hear that Minneapolis has some amazing culinary delights. I am looking to sample some while I'm here any suggestions for a hungry girl? Especially healthy eats!
I wouldn't call Minneapolis a culinary capital...the emphasis seems to be on large portions and bland food. Nonetheless...here are some downtown places...
Solera - used to be mostly tapas, but now offering more main courses. In Tapas days had some really interesting stuff.
D'Amico at the Chambers Hotel -- pretty good; definitely worth going just to check out the hotel's art. Take in the gallery and then go upstairs and check out the hallways....nothing like it.
Oceanaire -- good seafood. Worth a visit.
La Belle Vie - IMHO, hugely overrated. Over-complicated food in a drab setting that they try to pass off as sophisticated. Go somewhere else.
Bombay Bistro - This downtown hole-in-the wall, with an odd Nutcracker statue out front, is about the best Indian the TC has to offer.
Manny's -- In the W Hotel, which is worth checking out. A good steak house, if you like steak houses.
If you're thinking of going farther afield....try Heartland in St. Paul. Locavore fine dining with a farmer's market store attached. They were actually selling bull's testicles the other day.
And yes, 112 Eatery is good.
PM me if you want more or have particular questions.
Right across the street from 112 Eatery. Chef is an Iron Chef participant. Speciality cocktails are fun. Broad range of dishes creatively prepared and attractively presented.
Cristos is the best Greek Restaurant in Minneapolis IMO. Check it out! For burgers, it has to be the Nook is St. Paul. Seafood, Oceanaire for sure. Steak...Murray's, hands down. Mexican food at Poncho Villa is truly authentic and amazing. Have fun!!
