Best bistro in Minneapolis, Minnesota (MN) 2024

We made reservations and waited a little while to be seated. This was due to short staffing, but our server, Dawn was fantastic. She was prompt, professional, and took care of us throughout drinks, appetizer, entrees & dessert. We asked if she had any recommendations and she simply stated that everything on the menu is delicious and is made from scratch. The calamari was cooked perfectly, with 2 dipping sauces & lemon. I had the french onion soup that was rich, lots of onions, and the cheese on the top was golden brown. I also ordered a ceasar salad & a popover. Way too much food for one person. The soup & popover (which was huge) was plenty. My friends had the pork loin, which was tender, and also delicious. One ordered the fish & chips. We had beignets for dessert that came with chocolate & carmel sauce (4 per serving). If you're not sure which sauce to drizzle on top, I suggest both! This is a quaint restaurant, inside of the Normandy Inn, and I highly recommend visiting. They also validate your parking and the hotel staff had a great sense of humor. We all need a little of that. ~Jody
