Embrace the Minnesota Summer at Our Patio Restaurants
In Minnesota, we embrace the summer season to the fullest, and that includes making the most of our outdoor spaces. Our favorite patio restaurants live rent free in our heads during the long winter and are a sacred part of summer. Whether you choose to dine under the shade of a canopy, bask in the sun at a waterfront terrace, gather around a fire pit on a cooler evening, chill with a drink on the rooftop or hang at all the dog friendly patios – here are some spots to check out this summer!
