This is one of my favorite places for upscale Mexican fare. They do fantastic riffs on street food (don’t miss the tacos... they’re all phenomenal), plus unique twists on tropical cocktails. Try the Macho Camacho, a margarita made with blood orange and ancho-infused tequila. Lots of n/a drinks, too.

The cold noodles, kung pow chicken, sauteed cucumbers and double cooked pork are some of my favorite dishes here… but pretty much everything is good.

Fun French cuisine, cozy atmosphere, great seafood, fantastic brunch. It's one of my favorite additions to St. Paul in recent years. Rhymes with "heritage," by the way.

Amazing beef!

The first sake brewery restaurant outside of Japan, order a flight of sake with a few appetizers. The Japanese meatballs are a must.

I spent years teaching cooking classes here and to this day it still feels like home. Stock up on chef knives, kitchen gadgetry & more, then sign up for a class to learn how to use 'em.

The most under-rated charcuterie in town. I loved every thing I ordered last time I was there and can't wait to get back again.

The Juicy Lucy is so good. Plus, I love the onion straws.

My favorite place to grab pizza and a salad in town. Last time I went, I had the Salame e Funghi and half of my kid’s Bambini. For a real treat, order your pie uncut and Doppio-style, meaning extra San Marzano tomatoes, olive oil and loads of mozzarella di bufala. I love the Highland Park location, My favorite place to grab pizza and a salad in town. Last time I went, I had the Salame e Funghi and half of my kid’s Bambini.
