Grand Cafe is a European neighborhood bakery transformed into neighborhood café, offering classic American and Continental bistro fare. The kitchen utilizes the best local and seasonal product to craft such dishes as house-smoked sausages and Kobe beef brisket, Home-cured duck proscuitto, hand-rolled gnocchi, pasta, crackers and flatbreads. The pantry-to-table approach imbues brunch, lunch and dinner menus with unparalleled freshness, and has garnered critical acclaim – Jeremy Iggers of Minneapolis Star and Tribune touts Grand Cafe’s careful balance between Euro-sophistication and classic Americana as “superb,” Pioneer Press critic Cathy Jenkins remarks that the Grand Café feels like a restaurant you’d find in Berkeley, “a sensibility that carries over to the food,” and Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine’s Andrew Zimmern calls Grand Café “one of the most romantic spots around. Grand Cafe is located in South Minneapolis, 5 minutes from downtown & uptown, & 15 min from downtown.
