38 Essential Restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul

"First opened in 1999, Restaurant Alma has a longstanding reputation as one of Minneapolis’s finest restaurants. Chef Alex Roberts’ prix fixe menu changes regularly, but expect elegant — though never ostentatious — dishes like buckwheat parmesan crepes, New York strip in a smoked wild mushroom jus, and strawberry rhubarb parfaits with creme fraiche ice cream. The restaurant has an extensive wine list and is known for its accommodating vegetarian menu. Dim and intimate, it’s far and away one of the Cities’ most romantic restaurants." - Eater Staff
