Scandinavian-influenced brunch with lefse, lingonberry pancakes, and lake views. Across Minneapolis, brunch takes on a flavor and pace that you simply can't find in another city. The directory currently lists 69 brunch-friendly restaurants in the Minneapolis, MN area, ranging from neighborhood diners and coffee bars to ambitious bistros that build elaborate weekend menus around seasonal ingredients.
What you order at brunch in Minneapolis is shaped by what's grown nearby, who has cooked here for generations, and what newcomers have brought to the table.
