The 25 Best Restaurants In Minneapolis - Minneapolis - The Infatuation

"Vines dangling from the ceiling and a colorful mural of Nina Simone and Erykah Badu to your left. No, you’re not chilling at your stylish friend’s North Loop loft, you’re eating brunch at Stepchld. Their menu has dishes that pull flavors from a variety of countries, like birria tacos seasoned with an Ethiopian berbere spice blend, and pork belly and ginger coconut rice upgraded with kimchi and gochujang aioli.
