Minneapolis - University

This place operates as a café in the morning and as a fine dining restaurant at night. The café has great egg sandwiches and plenty of French inspired deserts. If you want a great place to celebrate an anniversary or birthday or some special event, the nighttime scene is a 7-9 course meal (You will need a reservation). They make seasonal changes to the menu, but it is all great food and excellent wine pairings for those who drink. Plus, they offer a great vegetarian menu as well to go with the seasonal tasting ones which have meat.

Fantastic Argentinian-style pizza, along with some really great empinadas!

My coworker introduced me to this place, and its great comfort food. The bibimbap and ramen are both great choices. If you want meat, you should go for the bulgogi. The building is tiny so be prepared to sit close to others or wait for seating.

Hot pot is honestly an experience everyone should try at least once. You can do the buffet style where you choose a soup base, and you can cook thin sliced meats and veggies from that soup base. The soup base is very flavorful, and they have tons of meats to choose from. This is very much more for those who eat meats, as the veggie options aren’t exciting.

This place only has strips and a sammich. I always get the sammich. The spice level can go very high actually. I think most people will be good with the MN nice to Mini-Coop. I think the Coop level has been my favorite level of spice to flavor level. Its great fried chicken served with fries and coleslaw.
