Restaurants in Minneapolis
Minneapolis - and all of Minnesota - is known for its wild rice. You'll find local rice and produce on the menu at Spoonriver in the Riverfront District and at the breakfast favourite, Hell's Kitchen. But Minneapolis restaurants feature a wide variety of cuisines. Try Spanish tapas at Solera in the Hennepin Theatre District, spicy Asian and Latino dishes at Chino Latino, or French crêpes at Café Barbette, both in the trendy Uptown district.
