38 Essential Restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul

"Alex and Margo Roberts, the duo behind elegant Minneapolis restaurant, cafe, and hotel Alma, are also the names behind Brasa, one of the Cities’ finest restaurants for casual, easy dining. Drawing on southern, Creole, and Mexican culinary influences, this menu is best served family-style: Pair rotisserie chicken crispy fried catfish (made with a gluten-free rice flour breading, it’s worth noting) with an assortment of savory stewed beans, fried yuca and plantains, collard greens with smoked chicken, and spicy creamed spinach. Round out the meal with butterscotch pudding." - Eater Staff
