Top Spots: For Breakfast

In Minneapolis, breakfast isn’t only tradition, it’s a mandate. Us hearty folks in the bread basket of America have some of the best places for bacon and eggs, be it straight-up or fancy-pants. Here are the best places to get your breakfast on in Minneapolis.

Hell’s Kitchen

Okay, it is their tagline, but goodness it’s true: this is the place to go for “damned good food.” For breakfast with a little modern twist, this is the place to be. They serve “huevos rancheros of the Gods” and fresh-made peanut butter that will knock you taste buds to Tahiti and back.

Bryant Lake Bowl

Not only is this one of the best bars in town, it’s also one of the best breakfast joints. BLB’s faire is very vegetarian friendly—one of their main dishes is Homemade Biscuits & Mushroom Gravy, with optional mock sausage. They do have carnivorous options however, including novelties like Bison Hash.

Nicollet Island Inn Dining Room

Situated on the Mississippi River, this is one of the loveliest spots to spend a morning in Minneapolis. The award-winning Sunday Champagne Brunch is a choose-your-own 5-course meal with Profiteroles at the end. And really, who could pass on Crème Brulee French Toast?

Chez Colette

For French Cuisine with a modern flair, take a trip to the lovely Hotel Sofitel. Chez Colete’s Eggs Benedict are pretty legendary—the smoked salmon offering is especially good. In true Parisian style, try the crepes, a deliciously sinful treat for any morning.

FireLake

FireLake's standout daily breakfast includes Midwestern favorites like Brick Oven Apple Pannekoeken and Minnesota Back Bacon—after curing in honey brine for four days, the bacon is smoked for six hours in a "pit" with a blend of maple and apple woods.

Key’s Café

This Minneapolis family favorite serves breakfast all day long. They’re known for their huge omelets, huge mounds of potatoes and huge whatever-else-in-between. With its new location in the historic   Foshay Tower, there’s really nothing not to like.
