French Meadow Café & Bluestem Bar
If you’ve always wanted to dine in a quaint French bistro, here’s your chance. French Meadow opened its doors in 1985, and since then, it has become a pioneer of the farm-to-table movement. It boasts relationships with more than one dozen local farms that supply the eatery with sustainably farmed produce, meats, and dairy products.
Its daytime menu consists of treats like pasture-raised shaved turkey sandwiches, blackened fish tacos, and wild mushroom tostadas. In the evening, dip into a steaming bowl of wild rice soup or savor a cut of grass-fed sirloin steak.
You’ll love the bar’s happy hours, too. From Wednesday to Saturday, you can get half-off tap beers, wine, and handcrafted “BLUE” cocktails. It’s well worth the trip after attending an event at The Fillmore Minneapolis.
