Crasqui
Price: Very Expensive•Venezuelan•4.8(144)Crasqui is a lively Venezuelan restaurant in Saint Paul. Recipes are inspired in our chef-owner Soleil Ramirez childhood, family and friends in her home-country Venezuela.
For us Crasqui is more than just a restaurant—it’s a vessel for memories, dreams, flavors, and connections. We will keep infusing our passion, dedication and love into every dish to make every guest experience memorable.Boca Chica Restaurant
Price: Moderate•Mexican•4.8(1,419)Boca Chica Mexican Restaurant has served the flavorful, authentic cuisine of Mexico since 1964. It was then that Guillermo and Gloria Frias opened the doors to their new restaurant that seated only 28 patrons. Today, Boca Chica has grown substantially and is rated "one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities," according to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine’s March 2018 issue.
The authenticity of the food is maintained by making everything from scratch, the old-fashioned way, with fresh ingredients. Even the fiery salsa is still made with fresh tomatoes, chiles, and that special Frias family touch. Our menu includes some of the more traditional foods such as guisados, sopes, carne asada, chile rellenos, and tamales. Taste is never compromised. We also have a full bar featuring the city’s best selection of Mexican beers and premium tequilas. Voted "Best Margarita" by City Pages.
Parlour St. Paul
Price: Moderate•American•4.7(70)Parlour St. Paul is a casual diner and craft cocktail bar located blocks from downtown St. Paul and the Xcel Energy Center. Try the famous Parlour Burger, a double patty smash burger with American cheese and pickles or one of our other unique and delicious items while having a craft cocktail.

We offer complimentary Valet service before an Xcel game or event.The Lexington
Price: Expensive•American•4.8(3,100)
The Lexington is more than a restaurant, it’s an institution. Located on the corner of Lexington Parkway and Grand Avenue, this St. Paul community was the most fashionable at the turn of the 19th century. The St. Paul elite lived just blocks away and the first electric trolley brought visitors up and down Grand Avenue. The Lexington opened in 1935, after the end of prohibition, and was a popular neighborhood bar to gather and socialize. Previously operating as a speakeasy, the expansive wood panels were perfect for hiding a little booze and one can only imagine the shenanigans going on beyond the hidden staircase behind the coat check. For decades following, The Lex, as it’s called by locals and enthusiasts alike, was the place to be seen; business dealings, cocktail hours, and milestone celebrations were a regular occurrence for St. Paul socialites.

- BBradleyMinneapolis - St. Paul •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoI must say we had a wonderful time and experience at the Parlour St. Paul location. We went out to celebrate my wife's birthday and when we arrived there was a hand-written colorful birthday card for my wife already on the table they had reserved for us after I made the reservation. Our server, Samantha M, was very attentive, made wonderful suggestions for cocktails and food, and provided my wife with a complimentary drink and dessert for her birthday. The food was delicious, as always, and the atmosphere and service was spectacular. I love all the food items but I especially go there for the Parlour burger, cocktails, and popcorn. We had a wonderful experience and I would definitely return again and recommend the Parlour St. Paul location to anyone. Thanks again for the wonderful experience and service.More infoParlour St. PaulPrice: Moderate• American• Saint Paul•4.7
