Whether you are planning a romantic dinner, a family gathering, a business lunch or want to try a new cuisine, there is a perfect Twin Cities restaurant choice.

Our increasingly diverse population has added a richness of dining experience in the Twin Cities. The Midtown Global Market on Lake Street in Minneapolis is a treasure trove of ethnic markets and restaurants. University Avenue in Saint Paul is the location for a number of Asian restaurants. Both East St. Paul and West Saint Paul places to find some of the best Mexican food in Minnesota.

Minnesota Eats Out: An Illustrated History celebrates our food loving culture. From the book's description: "...a virtual romp through the state's dining spots, from early health resorts to Prohibition-era speakeasies to A&W drive-ins, illustrated with nearly one thousand photographs, postcards, menus, matchbooks, and collectible dishes. Kathryn Strand Koutsky and Linda Koutsky narrate the history of dining in the North Star State, highlighting innovative foods, inspired restaurant architecture, and cutting-edge graphic design, along with anecdotes about beloved restaurants remembered through the decades. Accompanying this rich history is a priceless collection of Minnesota recipes made famous through the years, like the pioneers' Indian Pudding and old favorites from Eibner's Bakery in New Ulm or Ruttger's Resort in Brainerd."
