The 25 Best Restaurants In Minneapolis - Minneapolis - The Infatuation

"With wicker chairs, an abundance of natural light, and a covered patio lined with potted palms, a meal at Khaluna feels like you’ve stepped off Lyndale Ave. into a minimalist island retreat for the kind of people who are somehow always traveling. The decor’s light color palette is just as colorful as most of the dishes, like the tropical fruit salad and multi-hued rainbow rice. Be sure to try the sakoo, pillowy, mushroom-stuffed dumplings made from tapioca pearls, and the bucatini talay that gets a nice kick from thai basil and tom yum ragout. Cocktails are equally good and tropical—drinks are sweetened with palm syrup, and the non-alcoholic options like sparkling teas made with coconut water could be served at a fancy spa." - stacy brooks
