Off - the - Beaten - Path Minneapolis Restaurants (1)🍽️🌟

I spent another long weekend in Minneapolis. Without further ado, let's dive into the restaurant recommendations. 🎢🍃 Cedar + Stone, Urban Table Address: 2141 Lindau Ln, Bloomington 🎢🍃 This restaurant is located inside the JW Marriott. Since we arrived at the hotel after 8 p.m., we chose to dine here for convenience. I highly recommend the roasted cauliflower appetizer and the Minnesota wild rice soup. For the main course, I had the roasted pork neck and steak. 🎢🍃 They were decent. The pork neck was particularly good. The meat and sauce next to it were really well - done. Just a heads - up: Make sure the pork neck is fully cooked. Pork that's medium - rare is not very tasty. The well - done meat on the sides was nice, but the center was really chewy. 🎢🍃 Grand Cafe Address: 3804 Grand Ave S This French restaurant was a delightful surprise. The decor is very chic and French - style. Every dish is generously portioned and delicious. I highly recommend their signature Ham and Egg Cocotte with Black Truffle Cream. 🎢🍃 The combination of black truffle cream with toast and eggs is incredibly aromatic. My friend ordered the Avocado Toast with Pickled Red Onions and King Crab, which was also amazing. The only minor issue was that the bread was a bit too crispy, but it didn't affect the overall taste. 🥪 #USA 🌟
