The Top 100 Restaurants in Minneapolis

The best restaurants in Minneapolis, by the professional record: AAA, Food & Wine, and James Beard Awards have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Myriel comes out on top.

Bûcheron and Hai Hai hold the next two places. Minnesota Monthly shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with James Beard Awards next.

  1. Named for the Thai refugee camp where chef Yia Vang was born, Vinai is a Hmong restaurant that brings a cuisine most Minneapolis diners have never properly encountered. The menu runs from Hill Tribe chicken to grilled lamb heart, and the hot sauces come from family recipes. The New York Times put it on their Restaurant List, and Bon Appétit named it among America's best new restaurants. Every dish has a story, and Vang is usually around to tell it.

  3. Rank 7. Spoon and Stable

    Midwestern French































































  4. Rank 70. Abang Yoli
