Monte Carlo, a vintage Minneapolis staple since 1906, offers a cozy blend of throwback charm and modern cocktails, with iconic wings and a spacious patio to enjoy the vibrant North Loop.
"At the Monte Carlo, a Minneapolis icon established in 1906, the old-school setting matches the no-frills fish and chips: classic beer-battered Atlantic cod with a side of fries, tartar sauce, and lemon." - Cinnamon Janzer
"A downtown Minneapolis institution since 1906, the Monte Carlo is a historic time capsule — the l decor emulates old-school supper clubs and steak houses. But the wings steal the show: Served “Beijing-style,” they’re packed with spices, but served without sauce. Swap the standard carrots and celery for the grilled asparagus or broccoli spears, which make an excellent pairing." - Eater Staff
"A throwback to a by-gone era, Monte Carlo has barely changed in decades. Belly up to the glossy polished bar for an ice-cold martini, or settle into the dining room for a plate of Monte Carol wings, which come coated with a carefully guarded secret spice rub. The expansive patio is an ideal spot for a cocktail in fair weather." - Justine Jones, Alex Lodner
"The Monte Carlo’s patio, strung with globe lights and shaded by umbrellas, is one of the best patios in the North Loop. Come for wings, steak, and a cocktail." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
"An icon of Minneapolis pours serious martinis and has a fantastic patio that doubles the seating capacity in this 50’s decorated restaurant with old-school, attentive service. Immediately order the gigantic dry-rubbed, Beijing-style wings. Equal parts crispy and moist, they’re savory, sweet, and totally unforgettable." - Eater Staff
