BEST BURGER IN THE NORTH LOOPParlour Bar

You heard it here first, Parlour Bar Minneapolis is home to the best burgers in the North Loop. Our team craves their famous Parlour Burger constantly and their craft cocktail menu is nothing short of superb. Another team pick are the French Fries with Swiss Aioli. If you're in the mood for good eats after a long day of wedding dress shopping, we can’t say enough good things about this Minneapolis burger spot.

Japanese-Italian cuisine — Sanjusan

A unique mix of Japanese-Italian cuisine, Sanjusan is right down the street from us and a restaurant our team frequents. We love everything from the chef’s counter spots where you can watch meals being prepared to their Fettuccine Ai Uni. Their airy and modern space is welcoming and the Mican Cocktail is our favorite spicy sip in MPLS.

If you’re on the lookout for authentic sushi made fresh, you’ll definitely want to give Billy Sushi a try. This hot spot is our next door neighbor so we’ve had our fair share of sushi here. Not only are their dishes amazing, but it’s also one of the best dining experiences in North Loop, MPLS. The space is buzzing with energy as their team creates cuisine and serves the sushi bar, saki bar, and dining room. 

Billy Sushi opens at 4:30pm so this is the perfect spot for grabbing drinks or dinner after your appointment. We can’t wait to hear what you think of this lively MPLS sushi spot. 

best north loop pizza — Reb Rabbit 

Okay, we’ll be honest...we love very few things in life more than we love wedding dresses and pizza. Naturally Red Rabbit’s North Loop location was a go to when drawing up this list because their authentic Italian menu hits home for us. If you're looking for Italian food in Minneapolis, Minnesota we definitely recommend giving Red Rabbit a try. 

Some of our favorite dishes are the House Made Creamy Parmesan Dip with Seasoned Chips or the Spicy Salami Pizza. Not feeling our recommendations? Go rogue, boo. Seriously, anything you pick is going to be amazing. 

best brunch in the warehouse district — Nolo's Kitchen and Bar

Searching for the best brunch near Warehouse District, Minneapolis? Nolo’s Kitchen and Bar North Loop is one of our favorite brunch spots and is a quick 9 minute walk from our shop. While their breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus are full of amazing dishes, their weekend brunch menu is our favorite. If we had to pick, we’d probably go with their Avocado Toast or Crunchy Breakfast Tacos as our favorite meals, but the whole brunch menu is bomb. 

During the warmer months Nolo’s Kitchen and Bar also has a rooftop bar. Whether you’re grabbing brunch before a big day of bridal gown shopping or topping off your big day with a toast, we know you’ll love the vibes and food at Nolo’s Kitchen and Bar.

BEST FRESH SEAFOOD IN THE TWIN CITIES — Smack Shack 

Are you on the hunt for the best seafood restaurants in the Twin Cities area? If so, you’ve got to stop by Smack Shack. Smack Shack is a quick 11 minute walk from our front door. In a little over 10 minutes you could go from bridal bliss to lobster roll loving. We’re big lobster fans and Smack Shack is known for their lobster dishes so the Lobster Guacamole and Lobster Poutine are some of our favorite starters. 

This North Loop casual seafood spot serves lunch, dinner, brunch, and takeout. Whether picking up curbside or celebrating in true coastal fashion, Smack Shack is a seafood feast we feel confident you’ll crave after just one bite.
