Krewe Restaurant

The Best Day Trips to Restaurants and Food Destinations Near the Twin Cities | Eater Twin Cities

"There aren’t a ton of great New Orleans-style eateries in the Twin Cities, so it’s well worth heading an hour northwest to Krewe Restaurant, where shrimp jambalaya, sumptuous gumbo, and smothered collard greens await. Mateo Mackbee and Erin Lucas co-own this New York Times–recognized restaurant and its companion business, a bakery called Flour & Flower, both of which are less than 10 miles from St. Cloud in central Minnesota. Krewe even has beignets, the fried dough delights most famously served at New Orleans’s Cafe du Monde." - Justine Jones
