Steak
Benjamin B.

Food was delicious and delightful! The service was well versed in all dishes and had impeccable drink parring recommendations. The ambiance was dimly light and the felt like a Michelin star restaurant with an open kitchen design. I highly recommend any cut of steak!

Came for my bday dinner date. Very nice place with a great patio. Service was excellent. Food was outstanding. I appreciate the variety of American and Argentine steaks and prices. There is no bad option. I enjoyed the Argentine cut Entraña, one of the most tender according to our waiter. It was perfect, paired with the papas al horno. Very fulfilling. Great flavors. The potatoes are a generous portion made for sharing. The cocktails were awesome. They treated us to a lil champagne and ice cream as a bday treat.

I've been here a few times now. I've been happy with their selection as a pescatarian, and the staff made sure to make a not of that. I've enjoyed their pasta in the past, as well as well as the eggplant Milanese. Their vegetable sides are always great and large portions. I highly recommend trying to sit in their patio if possible, it has a beautiful ambiance.

We had a perfect meal here during a business dinner with 4 of us. We sat outside, which was really nice - although inside seemed to be just as good. The ambiance is high energy and quieter outside. It never got too hot outside, plenty of shade and a breeze between the buildings. The food is spectacular. We had amazing appetizers, especially the salmon and tuna. Our steaks were perfect, order a variety at your table and share. The sides were well made, especially the fingerling potatoes and broccoli. Listen to your waitstaff, they know what they are talking about and talked us out of a couple dishes and into better ones. Overall, it wasn't inexpensive but it was well worth it for those who appreciate unique and flavorful meals. We would definitely eat here again.

TLDR; Porzana is amazing, go ready to eat. Food and service are spectacular! You MUST get the Asparagus, sweet corn agnolotto, and the entrana. Skip the olive oil cake and vanilla sorbet. Porzana was an absolutely AMAZING experience! The food was delicious and the service was incredible as well. More than that, the vibes were great! This spot is truly the whole package. The restaurant was much bigger than I expected which was also nice. It was too hot when we were there, but they also had a cute patio on the side of the restaurant. We got a TON of dishes as we were treating ourselves and here is what we thought of each... Empanadas - Perfect size, crispy dough, and FULL of meat. The sauce, mango salsa, and the aoli on the side were the perfect editions. Sweet Corn Agnolotto - Literally NO notes. There is a reason why this is all over theirs and visitors social media. It is fresh and bright, yet has an amazing depth of flavor. Asparagus - These were perfectly charred and bright. They didn't feel heavy at all which was awesome. Entrana - The main event and so dang good. Perfectly cooked, tender, and the flavor was excellent. We love steak and honestly do a pretty good job cooking it ourselves, but this is somewhere we would go for a good steak. This was my top meat choice. The chimichurri and Lla Jua sauces were a perfect pairing with this as well. Ribeye - This ribeye was also delicious! It was tender and juicy, and had good flavor. My fiance preffered this to the Entrana though we both loved them both. Papas Aplastadas - These were fried potatoes with bacon, cheese, and beurre blanc. They were good, but not great. Honestly, I think we just loved the other dishes so much that these didn't even get a fair chance. Though these had the most ingredients, I would say they were the least flavorful to me. Olive Oil Cake - Moist, but still dense and didn't really impress us much. I wished instead of the marscapone there was something lighter on top as it all felt heavy after a big meal. Sorbet - skip the vanilla. The honey lavendar was an absolute show stopper. Cocktails were also top teir and they had mocktail options as well!

This a must visit if you are in Minneapolis because the food, drinks and ambiance are truly exceptional. I ordered the steak, which was outstanding. The chef really knows how to work with meat. For appetizers, I had the mussels, which came with such a generous, incredible sauce that I ended up taking the leftover home to toss with pasta the next day. Beyond the food, the space itself is beautiful. I loved being seated near the open kitchen and watching the chefs in action added a lot of energy to the meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable night out.

Porzana may take the prize for the best steak I've had in the Midwest! We had been wanting to come here forever and finally made the trip from Milwaukee. It was worth it. We started with the burrata, which incorporated pistachio, kiwi and avocado. Creative twist, that was a tasty start to our meal. For our entree, my husband and I split the 10oz Argentinean Picanha steak. It was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection, a steak I would order again and again. The side chimichurri was a welcome addition. Our waiter was also wonderful, even bringing out a special dessert for our friend's birthday! Great meal in MN, and we will most definitely be back again next time we're in town.

Porzana has been on my must try restaurant lists for a while and I'm so glad I finally made it here! After seeing so many 5 star reviews I was curious if it would live up to the hype... it definitely does!! Service was fantastic and very attentive. We were given a description of the various cuts of meat which helped us decide what to try. My table ordered a domestic wagyu zabuton steak and a picanha steak. For sides we ordered the Caesar salad, grilled mushrooms and the tallow fries. The Caesar salad came out first. This dish set the bar high. It has a unique blend of herbs and spices adorning a bed of crunchy romaine and fried oysters that elevated this dish. Must try if you are in the mood for a salad. The steaks and sides came out next and were shareable. Between the two steaks the wagyu was the better choice. Melt in your mouth and seasoned to perfection. The picanha had great flavor but was definitely tough to cut. I'll just order the wagyu next time. The steaks come with a side of sauce. We ordered the chimichurri and llagua. I liked the chimichurri the best between these sauces. The mushrooms were marinated so well and had a rich umami flavor. The tallow fries were crispy and salty. I would get either of these sides again. We finished our dinner with the "burnt" cheesecake. Which featured strawberry rhubarb compote on top. Save room for this desert! It was so good! We went on a busy Saturday night and found parking in a nearby garage. They offer valet but we didn't notice it until we had already parked. I think the valet was cheaper than the parking we found so might as well utilize that service unless you find something farther away.

Classy place. Really awesome atmosphere. My cousin Sid brought me and a dear mutual friend to have dinner here. two of us ended up picking the same dish which was the Salmon. Superbly done . The sauce they used is made of a Jerusalem artichoke and something other worldly. We grabbed a couple oysters, had. Great dessert. The boys had a few beers and I had the usual club soda. The servers were wonderful too. Gotta check this place out.

Patio

Great food, service AND ambiance! Came here for a unique experience with my son, but this place is perfect for a date night or and fancy girls night out! Ambiance (10/5) so gorgeous! This may be my fav patio/outdoor space in Minneapolis. Empanadas (5/5) flaky crust, flavorful filling Revuelto Gramajo (4/5) fancy lobster omelet. Generous portion of lobster meat, fresh parsley. I recommend ordering a side of toast (5/5) with this dish for some comforting crunch with each bite. Chorizo Puchero (5/5) savory and delicious chorizo, and the yolk from the fried egg made it magical. Service (5/5) our server was so friendly and had the BEST recommendations.

Burrata
Jami W.

One of my favorite spots and harder reservations to get in MPLS for a reason. The food, service, and atmosphere are all top notch. We often order the same menu items because why stray from a good thing. We usually get the following: Burrata (had kiwi and pistachio - so unique and flavorful) Beef tartare - seasoned so well Sweet corn agnolotto - unique and delicious Picanha steak - our favorite cut of Brazilian meat Papas aplastadas - comes with a gracious amount of Parmesan and bacon (need I say more) The wine and cocktail list is also unique and hits Parking can be tricky on a busy weekend night but valet is easy for $15

Burrata with kiwi, ricotta cheese, jalapeños

HOLY SMOKES. From start to finish, our time here was flawless! We were greeted upon entering the establishment by every employee which was refreshing. Our waters were never empty (as an indication of how well we were tended to). Every dish was FULL of flavor. Portion sizes were well-balanced and we still ended up taking food home with us. The steak was cooked to perfection, as recommended by our server, was juicy, and full of flavor. At times, there was a spice kick in the burrata, lobster dish, and empanadas that we were not expecting (pleasant surprise for us). Food was easily 10/10. Exceptional service by the staff here! - $$$$$$ (our bill for all of this food was $250) - parking is downtown street/ramps so add an additional $15-20 here (they do have a valet for $15) - ambiance is gorgeous with classic brick and botanical chic - noise level was fairly good for conversation

Cake & gelato

Truly an unbelievable dinner!! Got a reservation about two weeks in advance for our group of 4 for a Friday night. We got 8pm and it was just perfect. We were told that the mussels were a must get, and I can not restate this enough. The mussels are a MUST GET. They were unbelievable and SOOO many mussels. Our waiter Andy was truly outstanding. We really aren't picky eaters and we just asked Andy to assemble dishes for us to get a good tasting of the menu while staying in a certain budget and he exceeded it. We had the sweet corn agnolotto and it was truly out of this world. Just truly loved this dish. Creamy, flavorful and so perfect. We had a few Argentinian steaks and the one was Gorgonzola cream was truly incredible. You just get the papas bravas and the mushrooms were just delicious as well. If you are a vegetarian, you will have sooooo many options here that are so satisfying. You can not skip dessert, the gelato was our favorite. The wine selection is incredible. Again -- this spot was just incredible. HUGE shoutout to Andy F , he curated the best dishes and made the night so special.

Is this kid friendly?

Depends on the kid and the parent(s). If the child is mellow, well-socialized, and behaves when in public, then it is not going to be a problem. If, on the other hand, your child can't sit still at a table and you are the type that believes in free… 

Is the patio heated?

Hi Katie, unfortunately the patios isn't heated.

The chocolate almond croissant is next level--flaky, buttery, and packed with rich, decadent flavor. And don't even get me started on the breakfast sandwiches--they're gourmet-level masterpieces. Every bite is perfection. The vibe & service here is warm and inviting, with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries filling the air. Whether you're grabbing a coffee, treating yourself to a pastry, or diving into one of their soups or salads, this place nails it every time. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Cooks Bellecour is an absolute gem!

Be…read moreaware that you will be seated with a group of 6 and you'll have to work with them to decide who does what tasks, since not everyone will get to try making everything. I attended solo but luckily really liked the group I was assigned to. We wanted everyone to work on things they enjoy and allowed everyone to try some parts of the important tasks (making pasta and pastry dough). Your enjoyment might really depend on what your group is like. You can buy wine and beer to drink while you take the class, and those were reasonably priced I thought! $9 for a glass of wine and I think $8 for beer. The class was chaotic since we were making three courses and things needed to be done at different times, but the chaos felt like how it really is in a kitchen making multi course menus, so that didn't bother me! The assistants were great and helped us stay on track and helped if we were struggling with anything. I can't say I learned much from the class (which is why I only gave 4 stars), but I sure had a lot of fun!
