In my neck of the Minneapolis woods we are fortunate to have two French restaurants, Pierre's Bistro and Cafe Vin. Pierre's has been around since before we moved to Minneapolis more than 15 years ago, and we've never made it there although I've only heard good things about it. On the other hand we are regulars at Cafe Vin.
Cafe Vin is cozy, unpretentious and romantic after dark. Other than the salads everything on the menu is a great value. The fish and steak frites are less than $25. The portions are a good size and the food is impeccably done. The wine list is also fairly priced and on Mondays and Tuesdays bottles are 1/2 priced. The dessert list is also well edited and just the right note and size to end your meal.
Reccomended Dishes:
- All starters except for the calamari
- Steak Frites
- Crab Crusted Halibut
