This Hidden Gem in Minnesota Was Just Named One of America’s Best Restaurants

Do you ever search a restaurant’s website just to check out the menu before you head there? I think most people do that —it’s nice to know what you’re going to order before you commit to going out.

It would be a little wild if a restaurant didn’t post its menu online, right? People might be reluctant to try a place that didn’t provide details on the dishes they serve.

A Minnesota restaurant was just recognized as one of the top ten restaurants in the entire country and I was surprised to learn that they don't have an online menu.

Minnesota Restaurant Recognized as One The Best in The U.S.

Myriel was recently named one of the best restaurants in the entire U.S. by the experts at Food and Wine.

The lack of a menu kind of surprised me, but I was shocked (in a good way) when I learned about their prices. The restaurant says their à la carte prices range from $7 to $34, which is pretty good for a place offering a top-ten dining experience.

Myriel says everything in their kitchen is sourced locally and their chefs go out of their way to accommodate most dietary restrictions and allergies.

It’s a bit unpredictable, but that’s part of the charm. (FYI, if you want to know before you go, you can email them to find out what’s being served.)

Where Is Myriel Restaurant Located?

Food and Wine selected Chef Karyn Tomlinson as their 2024 Chef of the Year and says her restaurant’s dishes are “simply stunning.” Myriel is located at 470 Cleveland Ave S in St Paul.

F&W highlighted the “crispy and rosy duck breast, sliced over a gloss of sauce and scattered with herbs” and the way the dishes are served, “she sets it down on pretty vintage china in a minimalist dining room full of soothing neutrals.”
