Best of the Best Restaurant Week: 2/24/08 – 2/29/08
February 21st, 2008
Minneapolis/St. Paul Magazine announced this year’s first Restaurant Week which will take place starting this Sunday 2/24/08.
Participating restaurants in the Minneapolis area serve tasting menus during lunch and dinner throughout the week (although not all places offer both). Lunch menus range from $10-$30 and dinner menus are $30. Some restaurants also include a wine tasting flight to accompany the tasting menu.
Last year, I visited La Belle Vie during Restaurant Week and it was unbelievably phenomenal. Although we don’t intend to visit it again this time, I’m hoping there will be another Restaurant Week in March like last year.
Make reservations ASAP to get a table – they fill up fast!
Restaurants participating next week that I would recommend:
Azia Restaurant & Anemoni Sushi – they’re offering a sushi/sake menu in addition to regular menu options
