Grand Cafe

Still our favorite food spot in town. Hands down. See you again soon!

Delightful small restaurant with great food & service.

The Grand Café is consistently putting out the best food in Minneapolis. Amazing neighborhood gem.

A very interesting menu and they were very accommodating about sharing dishes. We were there for brunch on Sunday. I was disappointed that they do not toast the english muffins for Eggs Benedict. I have run into that before but forgot to ask this time.

One of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. The experience was authentic, the service attentive, every bite was delectable. Highly recommend

I brought an old friend from college for dinner here to eat and catch up. Our food was some of the best I’ve had in Minneapolis, and our server Xan was outstanding - he made our experience exceptional with menu and wine knowledge and masterful wine pairings. We were beyond impressed and I can’t wait to return to this beautiful spot!

friends get-together but I mentioned in the reservation that one friend was having birthday week- our server was amazing and really made the evening special for all of us, esp the birthday girl but really made us all feel special. great ambiance. great evening, thanks Grand Cafe!

Sexy delicious perfect

Food was good. Staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and very pleasant.

We spent a delightful evening at the Grand Café! Delicious food, great wine, and wonderful atmosphere all guided by an attentive staff. We recommend it highly!

What a wonderful meal! Great wine, outstanding food and excellent service.

What a wonderful night. The food and service were outstanding. I'm very excited to go back. Bravo.

This place is relaxed, inspired and EXQUISITE. Entire staff is skilled, friendly, mellow and positive. Exceptional food and such good vibes.

Very cozy and chic. Elegant place for either brunch or dinner. Superb service. Outstanding food. Try the omelet for brunch and be amazed. :)

I live half a block away from this restaurant and finally had the opportunity to eat there with a friend from out of state. We were so pleased with the experience. The food and service was excellent. I will definitely return.

Great food - roasted chicken, veal special and the char. Exceptional service from the staff especially our server - Allison

Was really looking forward to dining here as it had been many years since I had been to this quaint neighborhood restaurant. Appetizer and salad courses arrived in a timely manner. We tried the oysters, sweetbreads and their award winning chicken liver mousse. All were great. We each had the spinach salad and we all thought it was excellent. Unfortunately our entrees arrived 45 mins after the salad and while tasty, we were annoyed it took so long and one of our friends had to leave for another obligation so they packaged hers up to go after she left. Entree was a sparse portion size and side of cold green beans in a white sour sauce did not seem appropriate for a fall dinner. And no apologies or consideration were given. First half of meal - "A" Second Half of Meal "C -" and I expected better.

I am very glad we chose to go to Grand café. The servers were exceptionally kind, the food was unique and exquisite, and the ambiance was cozy but lively. The only complaint I have is that the full meal took ~2.5 hours, and I don't believe it was because they were backlogged. I think it's just how they roll. Maybe the French inspiration? For me this is normally fine, but we had my 84 yr old mother along and this is a long time for her to sit. I would go back again for a very special occasion with people who like French food preparation and have patience!

I’ve been wanting to try Grand Cafe for awhile since I started following them on Instagram for its gorgeous interior and appetizing photos. The food appear simple (but that’s how we like it) but the taste was beyond expectations. I had the tomato burrata salad and mussels, while my husband had the roast chicken. I could write an essay to describe the sublime experience for each dish but that’d be too many characters. Our server Kim was delightful and helpful throughout our dinner. Definitely will revisit this place soon.

The exceptional food is only surpassed by the personal and attentive service!

The menu was seasonal and that was great. The price point is high.

Food was delicious, service was nice and very nice experience

Elizabeth put together a fantastic tasting menus for us this past Friday evening. Probably the best food experience we have ever had. We love the food, the service, the atmosphere.

Always welcoming. The service is perfection. Our waiter was a great guide to the menu. We love the Grand Cafe. Every visit has been an experience yet very inviting.

The pike quenelles is amazing!

My husband and I enjoyed Grand Cafe on a Sunday evening for our anniversary dinner. Given the fact that we chose to dine on a Sunday night, I was a little nervous that the restaurant would be a ghost town and that we would be passive-aggressively rushed through our dinner as we have experienced at many other restaurants on a Sunday night when staff wants to close up early. To my surprise Grand Cafe was bustling! Not only were they full when we arrived at 7pm, but they were still busy by the time we left close to 10pm. The atmosphere was very energetic and the service was impeccable. When asking our server for her recommendations on wine, appetizers, and entrees, she did not automatically suggest the more expensive options, but actually took time to give her personal opinions of each dish and then let us decide from there. Our courses came out perfectly, one after the other and each one better than the next. Grand Cafe immediately made it's way to the top of our list of best restaurants in the Twin Cities. We can't wait to go back!

Food was amazing; fresh local ingredients. Service was a bit confused - server did not check on us often enough, even when helping the adjoining table.

The Grand Cafe was amazing. The food was incredible - the best crab omelette I have ever had. The atmosphere is cute and a little funky. I would highly recommend for anyone enjoying a date night, fun with friends, or just treating themselves to a night out.

The food is always exceptional with a French flair. We have been there several times sampling over a dozen different dishes and have never been disappointed. Wonderful date environment.

One of the best in the country. MSP very lucky to have this chef!

Lived up to the hype and reviews, loved the experience in all ways, creative and inventive! Wished I lived only a block away!

I have always loved Grand Cafe's ambiance, but the choices for vegetarians are very limited. One starter, two salads, and an entree with chanterelle and poached eggs. Service, wine, and ambiance was great, but they need to offer more for vegetarians. I love upscale restaurants, but too many of them focus on seafood and meat instead of vegetables.

The food is delicious and so creative, combining textures and flavors in amazing ways.

This is clearly one of the jewels in the Twin Cities' culinary crown. The good is superbly wrought. Service is attentive but never overbearing or pretentious, and the ambiance is utterly casual but sophisticated. I cannot wait to explore the rest of the menu.

This is the spot to feel nurtured with gracious service and outstanding food.

Took my parents out for both of their birthdays while they were in town. The food was incredible and the service was top shelf. Special thanks to Liz who was patient with our questions and able to share great insight on the menu.

Outstanding menu and wine list, with a great atmosphere and wonderful service! Loved our patio experience enjoying the sunshine and look forward to a cosy dinner inside when the weather changes. Kudos to the chef! We are so happy to have discovered this gem!

Decadent experience in every way. Impeccable service and food.

Incredible service and food. The cacio e Pepe dumplings are perhaps one of the best things I’ve ever had.

Brunch is fantastic at Grand Cafe. The ambiance is lovely, staff are professional and friendly, and the food is amazing. No surprise that the Benedict and hollandaise were the best I’ve had. Beautiful sidewalk patio too.
