Located west of Flying Cloud Airport; an old farmstead turned into flower and farmer's market. The farmer's market is only open in the summer and fall but it's got a great selection of meat, veggies and other treats. Fall is probably the best time to go. In October they have a pumpkin patch, corn maze, bounce house and awesome Halloween decor'.

One of the best authentic Italian places in the area. Family run, local ingredients, great service and atmosphere. It's one of my favorites. It also gets crowded, so call for a reservation if you can.

Huge fancy burgers with a huge beer selection near the very popular "50th & France" shopping/entertainment district in Edina. Parking is slim, so I would recommend getting there early or parking one of the 50th & France garages and walking...

Such good Indian food. The "dine in" part of the restaurant isn't anything fancy...but you could always take out if you didn't want to eat inside. Deliciousness.

If you want amazing aromatic Pho, this is the place. It's a total dive in a "strip mall" downtown but I would absolutely make the drive. They have great lunch specials too!

You might feel a little uneasy once you get here because it's an Asian grocery store tucked away behind a warehouse...but United Noodles is a cafe INSIDE. It's amazing ramen and then you can grocery shop afterwards. :) One of my favorite hidden gems.

Amazing Southern Soul Food here "Up North". The fried chicken is perfect as are the sides and sauces...and drinks...and atmosphere. There might be a line, so plan accordingly.

Great food and drinks PLUS fun atmosphere! This family pub/restaurant is connected to a curling rink with a glass wall that allows you to watch teams in action on the ice. In nice weather, it also has a great patio for outdoor seating.

Drinks & Nightlife

Right in the heart of historic downtown Hopkins. Great vibe to grab drinks. They allow pizza delivery or food from their sister-restaurant in the brewery so you can eat while you drink.

This place is tricky to find so I would use a car service to get you to your destination...it's tucked behind the stores on the street front. Get there early or in the middle of the week so you can actually have somewhere to sit. It's often standing room only on the weekends.
