"A neighboring Placemaker Hospitality restaurant located across the street from the closed eatery (the space had previously been Café Wyrd). As part of the closure transition, other restaurants in the operator’s portfolio were slated to carry the closed kitchen’s pastas and breads and to offer positions to the 24 staff members, including at this location. The owner of the group has been hailed as a Twin Cities culinary innovator for advocating for women in the culinary world and for bringing a chapter of Let’s Talk Womxn to the Cities; the operator’s restaurants were also among the first in the market to employ a farmer on staff." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Barbette is a quaint French cafe in Uptown with rainbow-colored furniture dotting their patio section that focuses on local and sustainably farmed ingredients serving several gluten free and vegetarian options." - Joy Summers
"As one of Kim Bartmann’s neighborhood classics, I note Barbette is part of the local group of well-regarded spots associated with her as she seeks investors to open a heritage grain brewpub in Minneapolis’ Mill District." - Joy Summers
"From 10pm to close, 7 days a week, this French bistro serves $4 glasses of house wine, champagne, and select tap beers. Get a cheese and fruit board, half a pound of steamed mussels, or a plate of the famous pommes frites—golden-crisp, dusted with sea salt and thyme—all featured on their $5 late-night food menu." - Eater Staff
"Famed restaurant partners Jared Meisler and Sean MacPherson have the ideal place to avoid any semblance of blue and gold. Since the game starts at 3:30 p.m., nabbing the buckwheat crepe for brunch is possible until 5 p.m. But if staying longer is necessary, dinner includes pomme frites, roasted chicken, and steak au poivre." - Mona Holmes
