Description:
SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. Younger sibling of El Meson (an energetic Spanish-Caribbean spot on Lyndale), Café Ena's specialty is Latin fusion cuisine. The intimate, subdued atmosphere fosters just the right environment for warming up to dishes you might not have tasted before. Start with chile en hogada (roasted poblano stuffed with ground beef, mango, and cucumber) while deciding on your main. When the time comes, the choice will be tough – pan-seared turkey with homemade mole, cardamom-blackened salmon over sautéed artichokes, or filet of corvina wrapped in a banana leaf – but not without delicious reward. |

Description:
UPTOWN. This barbecue chain serves some of the best ribs, burgers, and chops in the Twin Cities. The place may seem a little upscale for a barbecue joint, but there's something to be said for enjoying a rack of ribs and a few cornbread muffins while surrounded by antiques. A popular lunch destination, especially with the business crowd. Sunday brunch is served 10am till 2pm. |

Description:
SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. This understated yet classy spot in South Minneapolis gets high marks for its intimate tables and wallet-friendly prices. But that doesn't mean the one-time bakery doesn't turn out creative fare – they do, in fact, and manage to utilize a fair amount of local ingredients along the way. Representative dishes from the dinner menu include a duck confit and garlic-lamb meatball cassoulet, polenta cakes, and braised short ribs with homemade spatezle. Weekend brunch features delights like corned beef hash made with Kobe brisket and huevos rancheros filled with Berkshire pork confit. |

|
|
|
| |
Description:
NORTHEAST MINNEAPOLIS. The turn-of-the-century redbrick building near the corner of Marshall and NE 23rd is home to a unique dining establishment where it's possible to get a little bit of everything in one sitting. Indeed, The Sample Room's tapas-inspired offerings of cheese plates, pan-fried walleye strips, and sautéed green beans with ginger tamari sauce work perfectly fine as sharables. There are a handful of main courses as well, and on Sundays the brunch menu features "sample plates" of hand-cut bacon, crêpes, and currant scones. When the weather's cooperative, grab a table on their outdoor patio. House wine by the glass is 1/2 off between 3pm and 6pm, Monday through Friday. |

Town Talk Diner |

|
|

Description:
SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. Sure, the name inspires images of guys huddled over a lunch counter. While there is a counter at Town Talk, this place's repertoire runs far deeper than any diner you've ever visited. For starters, there's the design: a classy ensemble of weathered brick, terrazzo tiles, stainless steel, exposed ceiling (in the main dining room), and an open kitchen. As for the eats, dinner mains range from pulled pork sandwiches to sumac-braised lamb with tabouli. Also impressive is the weekend brunch spread, especially if you're in the mood for bananas foster French toast, pulled pork pepper hash, or steak and eggs. |
