The 10 Best Brunch Spots In Minneapolis St Paul, Minnesota

Sarah Russek

Minneapolis and St Paul, make up a metropolitan area is known as the Twin Cities. The two zones pose a real juxtaposition: St. Paul consists of late-Victorian architecture whereas Minneapolis is more modern with skyscrapers. Located in Minnesota, the area is situated near the Mississippi and St. Croix rivers. Below, we’ve listed the top ten restaurants to be found here.

1. Victor

Cafe, Restaurant, Cuban, American, Vegetarian

With a resumé of awards Victor’s 1959 Café has impressed food critics with their self-proclaimed revolutionary Cuban food. This southern Minneapolis restaurant is independently and locally owned and loved by a loyal clientele. Some of the Cuban dishes include bistec criollo (thinly sliced steak marinated in lime juice and garlic, sautéed green peppers, two eggs with yuca frita and toast). Not to be missed.

2. Happy Gnome

Restaurant, Diner, Pub, American

The main attraction of Happy Gnome is the well respected 77 craft beers currently on tap in the restaurant and the wonderful food that accompanies it. Made from local ingredients designed to suit the mid-westerner’s palate, a Sunday brunch here aims to make everyone a happy gnome. The appropriately named ‘gnome hot brown’ is a favorite and it consists of sriracha, bacon, turkey, cheddar, prosciutto, tomatoes, eggs sunny-side-up, surly furious bread and mixed greens. Try it out alongside a Bloody Mary with house-infused vodka and a beer chaser.
