The Best Restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul | Eater Twin Cities

"Chef Kamal Mohamed’s Northeast restaurant StepChld feels like a West Village hangout, with its snug, narrow dining room and slyly inventive menu. This food is delightfully “off-kilter,” as Mohamed puts it. Examples of this have included sweet potatoes that are whipped and fried into cayenne-dusted fritters; pork belly leveled up alongside a silky coconut rice; chicken wings dusted in berbere spice and fenugreek. The mimita-spiced burger is especially popular, but the lavender nori shrimp, fermented in chile butter sauce that’s sopped up with sourdough, is an even better bet. StepChld also has one of the Cities’ best selections of orange wine." - Eater Staff
