Northeast

A family-owned Mexican restaurant. The food is cheap and delicious.

This Thai restaurant is quickly becoming a Northeast favorite. Plenty of meat options but also very accommodating to vegetarians and vegans, and the spice tray brought to your table allows you to adjust the spiciness of your dish to your liking. The restaurant aims to be as environmentally sustainable as possible by recycling or composting much of their waste.

Family owned and operated restaurant with some of the best food anywhere in the Twin Cities area. Wide selection of beer and numerous televisions that make soccer watching easy.

One tasty Afghani restaurant with reasonable prices. The Afghan pizza with its special sauce is a legend in Nordeast for good reason. What most miss due to the pull of the pizza is their equally incredible gyro meat, expertly seasoned and lightly charred for a nice texture. They also serve kebab platters.

Renowned Middle Eastern and Mediterranean restaurant, bakery, deli, and grocery. The gyros are some of the best in the United States, and the chicken curry gyros are very original and tasty. It's hard to go wrong with their menu, which is especially friendly towards vegetarians. A buffet is offered during lunch-time 7 days a week, plus dinner-time on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Some of their breads and hummus appear in grocery stores across the Twin Cities, but you can get them cheaper right from the source.

A traditional Irish pub, constructed largely in Ireland with good food and Guinness on tap. Live music often.

Older restaurant with traditional American food. On the expensive side, but nice for an appetizer and drink before heading next door to see a movie at the St. Anthony Main theater. They offer a stunning view of downtown and an outdoor patio.

A large, authentic Eastern European deli with attached sausage counter/cheese shop. The deli offers delicious and traditional Polish and Ukrainian foods, not to mention the best sausage in town.

A charming a cozy pizzeria specializing in Neapolitan-style thin crust, wood-fired pizza. They also have a good wine list and a small selection of choice beers.

Upscale Japanese food. For sushi, Kikugawa probably offers Minneapolis' best combination of quality, atmosphere, price, and service, including private rooms for no extra charge.

The first LEED Certified restaurant in Minneapolis is also delicious, if a bit spendy.

Traditional Neopolitan Pizza baked for 90 seconds in an 800 degree oven. Can be busy, but worth braving the crowd.

An airy 60's-style diner with excellent comfort food and a decently sized beer/wine selection. The pot roast itself is worth the trip, however the hours are at times erratic and phoning ahead is not a bad idea.

Steakhouse with a modern twist and reasonable prices.

American bistro style menu, weekend brunch, full bar, live music Thurs-Sat. Cheapest tap beer in town all day.

German restaurant and dance hall, popular with the drinking crowd for the 'boots' of beer served in the basement.

A neighborhood institution serving traditional American fare, specializing in steak.

Specializes in sampler menus (multiple cheeses, multiple wines, etc. Interesting eclectic menu.
