The Best Dinner Date Spots in Minneapolis
Choose between a downtown meeting, a neighborhood table and time beside the river. These Minneapolis selections give you distinct starting points without asking you to fit several stops into one date.
Dinner works best when the format feels comfortable for both people. These five restaurants offer different ways to make an evening of it. Look at the current menu together, agree on a budget and check the reservation options before setting a time; the guide is a starting point, not a booking service.
This selection includes Maison Margaux, Spoon and Stable, Martina, Bar La Grassa and Restaurant at the Nicollet Island Inn. Use the map and practical details below to pick the one that fits your date.
Maison Margaux
A French brasserie with an underground bar. Make the meal the main event rather than squeezing it between other plans. The restaurant website has the current menu and any booking information.
Spoon and Stable
A downtown restaurant from chef Gavin Kaysen. Choose this when a proper sit-down meal sounds better than a hurried coffee. Use the restaurant website to confirm brunch hours and the current menu.
Martina
Argentinian-Italian cooking in Linden Hills. Look through the menu together before booking so the format and budget feel right for both of you. The restaurant website has the current menu and any booking information.
Bar La Grassa
A North Loop restaurant with a wine list and dinner menu. Keep the rest of the night open and give the table your attention. The restaurant website has the current menu and any booking information.
Restaurant at the Nicollet Island Inn
A restaurant inside the Nicollet Island Inn. Choose this when you want a dinner plan with a clear destination. The restaurant website has the current menu and any booking information.
Less swiping. More stories.
Amazing!! Was super user friendly and took minimal time to set up. Great idea and executed really well!!
This app is incredible. I love how it works, it’s a great UI and really pairs you with someone you actually would be compatible with. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to get set up the same way you’d get set up by mutuals.
I was so surprised by how much we had in common and it was truly one of the best first dates ive ever been on.
