Hi Flora!, the new vegan restaurant opening in the former Common Roots space in Uptown, is “ Minneapolis’s first temperance bar” - there’s no alcohol on the menu, though there are euphoric drinks like kava and other mocktails. The gas station location will remain open. The exact location of the new restaurant hasn’t been announced yet, but it’ll have the staple tacos and burritos from the Eagan menu plus plated dishes for dinner and cocktails. The good news for city dwellers is that owners Karen and Cristian De Leon are opening a second location in Minneapolis’s Tangletown neighborhood this summer, the Star Tribune reports. 2220 Lyndale Avenue S., Minneapolis, MN, 55405 El SazonĮl Sazon, a Mexican restaurant tucked inside an Eagan gas station, has gained local acclaim for its tacos, salsa verde-smothered enchiladas, and five-course dinner series. Baba’s will serve Palestinian coffee and teas, too, like cardamon date lattes most dishes will range from $8 to $16. The restaurant will serve hummus bowls (imagine a hummus base with toppings like minced beef shwarma, sumac, and lemon sauce) as well as fresh-baked mana’eesh (a flatbread), Jerusalem-style bagels, and sweet pastries like baklava croissants. Palestinian American sibling duo Rana Kamal and Khalid Ansari founded Baba’s in 2018 - it’s thus far operated as a wholesale business, selling its creamy, Jerusalem-style hummus at grocery stores across the Midwest. Local hummus brand Baba’s is opening a hummus house, bakery, and market in Uptown this summer, just a block south of the Wedge Co-op. Here are the Twin Cities’ most anticipated summer restaurant openings of 2023. Two major North Loop openings are coming down the pike, too. West of the river, keep an eye out for hummus bowls and cardamom lattes quesabirria tacos and cocktails vegan shawarma and kava drinks banh mi and fried curry tofu and charcuterie boards paired with international wines. Paul, look for a new Korean fried chicken restaurant taking over a beloved spot, Lao cuisine coming to Sibley Plaza, and a Jamaican restaurant - with self-serve rum punch, no less - headed for downtown. Mostly your typical American foods (omelets, waffles, burgers, fish n’ chips), done up with fresh ingredients and usually with some nice fancy twists.A crop of new restaurants is opening in the Twin Cities this summer, some long-awaited and some just announced. Built in a converted ice cream shop on Cleveland Avenue in St Paul’s Highland Park neighborhood, they specialize in what I usually call “Posh Diner” fare. From the first time I went there in 1996 (a friend of mine treated me to a birthday dinner there), it became a regular destination for me (especially around ’98-’00 when one of the people I played ultimate with did a menu design for them and going to Highland Grill became a post-frisbee tradition for a while). Two of them I’ll review today, and I can combine the reviews since both places (Longfellow Grill in Minneapolis, and Highland Grill in St Paul) are sister restaurants operated by the same company, and indeed, have approximately 90% overlap in their menus. However, this time we dined at several new establishments as well. As a result, we had several fine breakfasts at local establishments, many of which (Maria’s Cafe, for example, or better yet, the venerable Al’s Breakfast) I’ve already reviewed on this blog. On my recent trip to Minnesota, we had several opportunities to dine out by ourselves, or with our hosts.
