1,000+ Twin Cities–Area Restaurants

mspmag.com's Restaurant Guide includes more than 1,000 Twin Cities-area restaurants. Take note of our dining editors' favorites ("Editor's Choice") and restaurants notable for a particular asset ("Notable"). Some restaurants listed here are seasonal. We recommend calling restaurants before visiting to confirm information, and using OpenTable.com to make dining reservations where available. Most restaurants in Hennepin, Ramsey, and Washington Counties are smoke-free, but some have a designated outdoor area for smoking.
