La Belle Vie |  La Belle Vie
Daily
Widely regarded as the best restaurant in Minneapolis, Loring Park's La Belle Vie starts from a French base and then pulls in styles and ingredients from other cuisines - or, some might suspect, other dimensions. The average diner's age and income may be higher here than at many other places, but if you're the sort who doesn't mind being pleasantly astonished by blue marlin carpaccio or smoked chocolate soup, it's worth it. The wine list alone is a treasure trove. |
Solera |  Solera
Daily
This award-winning Spanish restaurant sits in the Hennepin Theatre District, near downtown attractions and the stylish Chambers Hotel. Traditional, contemporary and seasonal tapas fill the menu. If you can't decide, try a reasonably-priced tasting menu or a Spanish paella. The dining room is rich with jewel tones and original Spanish artworks. |
