Harriet Brasserie

There is something to be said about this charming establishment. Our group sat outside on the left patio while live music played. To me, it did not feel like we were in the city, but more like we were in a rustic country tavern in a small town. To start, we shared a bunch of appetizers, which included: Chicken Taco, Brussels Sprouts, French Fries, and Gnoochi. We enjoyed everything. The portions were great for our group.I had the Norwegian Salmon and thought it was just right and over done plus the size was perfect because after sharing all those appetizers, I was not sure if I had enough room for a large entree plus I enjoyed the cute ginger beer.My favorite was dessert. We shared the chocolate cake and the Coconut Tres Leches.All in all, it was a fun dining experience.

My daughter and I enjoyed a brunch table for two before a matinee theater performance last weekend. I've always loved this tucked away neighborhood treasure (next to one of my favorite local bookstores). It's a small dining room but it just feels special when you step inside. The staff is friendly, the bar and kitchen are always quietly humming, and the inside feels quaint with European vibes. We loved the live music from the string musician in the corner! I had the tofu hash, and my daughter had a classic breakfast with hashbrowns, eggs, and bacon. It's all the extra touches that make it fun. My peach Bellini was a step up from a regular mimosa. The orange marmalade served with the toast on my daughter's breakfast was Outstanding! And I enjoyed the combination of the flavors in the hash and the side greens. But maybe the best of all was dessert of coconut tres leches. I adore this place for a meal or a coffee and treat...and the patio tables in the summer are great, too.

Went to this cute little restaurant for Mother's Day breakfast! We parked along the street and sat outside in the alley way underneath hanging lights and cover. I ordered the crab cake Benedict and iced vanilla latte. The Benedict had sooo many flavors and was so good! The only thing I wish it had was that it would have come with a side of potatoes or something in addition to the Benedict. For $20 it just wasn't filling enough for me personally. The iced vanilla latte also was lacking vanilla flavoring so I kindly asked for more and when it was returned it still tasted the same haha! Overall our service was great and our waitress was very kind/attentive. I recommend this spot for couples going out for a light bite or a place for friends to meet up.

Finally made it to brunch one weekend while walking the pup and managed to snag the last, baked-daily, scone! Their dinner menu looks good but is a bit out of my price range. Brunch was much more in my wheelhouse. The service was excellent and it looks like they've got some regulars that come to the same patio table every weekend since they knew their orders and names. Speaking of, the patio is dog friendly but tiny. You definitely want to get there early and if you've got more than 1-2 folks expect to wait a while. The espresso was good and hit the spot on a gorgeous morning. I hadn't had a french omelet in forever so went with that. Textures were good, but I think it was relatively under-seasoned. Could have used some more salt, a sharper cheese, and/or more caramelization on the onions.The scones are baked each morning and there's only one batch, so they usually sell out in the first hour or so. It was a southern cake-y style scone and the jam was excellent. It paired perfectly with the espresso and is definitely worth the price.I'm looking forward to coming back to give some of the other items a shot.

One of my favorite Minneapolis restaurants. Small, but busting with charm, character, and a quality experience in the beautiful London shills neighborhood. It sits inside a former fire station, located just blocks from a quaint boutique downtown and the Lake Harriet Park and bandshell. It's a tucked away treasure. One big drawback: lack of parking is a problem. Plan to walk 3+ blocks from street parking...which is a serious issue for groups with people of low mobility/disability. If you can visit this restaurant/cafe, do it! And share it with friends and family for a memorable, unique dining memory.

Had dinner here last night. The restaurant is very cute and small as was the outdoor spot where we sat. Our waiter was great. Our dinner was pretty average. We discussed afterwards if we would go back again for what we had, and both of us said no. The menu is very limited. The other odd thing is that it closed at 8pm. That feels early for a restaurant in this area on a Friday night.

This spot has become one of our go-tos because of the ambiance and amazing food. The patio is a great place for people watching and there was even live music! Delicious French-inspired food and the menu is not too overwhelming with options.

Good food, nice ambiance! The patio was very quaint and the food was fresh and flavorful.

Was looking for some place for lunch on a cozy winter Friday and settled on Harriet Brasserie in Linden Hills.The building is an old fire station (I think) and exudes a great warm welcome with classic high ceilings and exposed brick.They don't offer a separate lunch menu, instead they have an all-purpose "brunch" menu with everything from traditional breakfast items to soups, sandwiches and even a duck taco. I opted for the Wild Acres Turkey Sandwich with bacon and roasted red pepper aioli (yummy) while my friend enjoyed one of the house specialties, the crab Benedict (succulent crab cake poached egg and hollandaise sauce-really good). Inside is bigger than it first appears and it wasn't hard getting a table at lunch. The real challenge is parking. I circled ever further around the maze of streets for 15 minutes before finally finding something several blocks away in a neighborhood. If possible, visit without a car!Solid service too. Definitely worth a visit.

Friendly neighborhood restaurant with amazing food and great wine selection and knowledge!We ate Red Lentil Soup with coconut cream and curry and topped with crispy carrots, Mushroom Scallops with delicious sauce, shrimp, Steak Frites cooked to perfection, Norwegian Salmon that is butchered and prepared in house and with an amazing finish Coconut Tres Leches Cake to die for!Definitely coming back for more!!!
