Nestled by Lake Nokomis, Wise Acre Eatery serves fresh farm-to-fork American brunch and dinner in a cozy, plant-filled space with a lovely patio.
"A true farm-to-table restaurant, Wise Acre Eatery serves dishes made with ingredients straight from its Plato, Minnesota farm. Try an egg sandwich with kimchi and pimento cheese, or French toast with squash maple syrup and toasted walnuts. The owners also operate the garden center next door, so the space here is lush with greenery." - Justine Jones, Stacy Brooks
