Our top-notch critics surveyed the Twin Cities to pick their favorite restaurants--and came up with 75 they can heartily recommend.
March 2010
Does the twin cities have 75 really good restaurants? More, actually. That’s our take after bringing the critics together. For 2010 we decided to take a straightforward look at the area’s best, but with new twists. We grouped them in user-friendly categories, such as Top 10, Pizza, Asian, and so on. And instead of presenting our Readers Poll separately, the results are alongside those of our critics. Some of our categories were so rich in competent restaurants that several ended up on the cutting-room floor. By next year we may need room for 100. —Adam Platt
