Spoon and Stable is in North Loop
Minneapolis American cooking runs from white-tablecloth ambition to the city's signature stuffed burger, the Jucy Lucy. In the North Loop, Spoon and Stable has set the upscale benchmark, while Indigena by Owamni in the Mill District builds a menu around Indigenous ingredients. Out on Cedar Avenue in Longfellow Powderhorn, Matt's Bar and the 5-8 Club still argue over who first sealed cheese inside the patty.
