Dine Around
Looking for a group event? The Local Advisory Hospitality Committee will
host "Dine Arounds." On Tuesday evening, July 17, you can meet new colleagues while dining at one of Minneapolis' restaurants. Visit the Hospitality Booth to make your reservation. Space is limited so make your plans early.
A MALL member will guide each group to their Dine Around choice. All restaurants are within walking distance of the Convention Center.
- Brasserie Zinc, 1010 Nicollet Mall
$$ ($10-$20) excluding tax and tip, based on the cost of one entree. This
sophisticated yet casual Mediterranean
brasserie overlooking Nicollet Mall features traditional French cuisine.
Atmosphere is festive but not loud, classy but not stuffy.
- Cafe Un Deux Trois, 114 Ninth St. S.
$$$ ($20-$30). Located in the historic Foshay Tower, this Big-Apple-style bistro boasts faux-marble walls and columns, sophisticated furnishings, and high,
high ceilings. Diners dress up or down and order pate and a cup of soup or
course after course of exquisitely prepared food. Mais oui!
- Buca di Beppo, 1204 Harmon Place
$$ ($10-$20). The Southern Italian food
is great and arrives family-style on platters. The walls are exposed brick
or painted a warm, Tuscan gold; the tablecloths are red-and-white-checked;
and the wooden booths are high and old-fashioned.
- Rock Bottom Brewery, 825 Hennepin Ave.
(~$20). Beers are brewed in
dramatically huge copper vats set in the middle of the restaurant giving
the entire place a warm and cozy glow. Arrangements have been made for a special
beer tasting and dinner. There will be a number of imaginative courses, each accompanied
by a beer selected to complement the food. Good beer like good wine enhances the
dining experience. Todd Haug, the head brewer at Rock Bottom, will talk
about each of the beers and why they pair well with specific food.
