Dining in Minneapolis
Dining in Minneapolis isn’t complete without a visit to Nicollet Avenue's Eat Street for a variety of ethnic fare; it is particularly heavy on Southeast Asian options.
Dinkytown and Stadium Village near the university are also a great area for fun food. With Minneapolis’ well-established African community, don’t miss the Blue Nile for Pan-African cuisine or T’s Place for Ethiopian-Asian. For eating unique to Minneapolis don’t miss Juicy Lucy and their burgers where the cheese is cooked inside the patty. Anchor Fish & Chips is another popular, busy spot as is Murray’s Restaurant and Cocktail, a favorite since 1946.
So the best of eats are available throughout the Minneapolis area for you to find and enjoy.
