Top-Rated Restaurants in Twin Cities
We track 140 spots in the Twin Cities. Three have earned the top tier.
This is the 2026 class, and it isn't settled — the list moves with the ratings until it locks. What's here now: a 50 Best honoree, a James Beard Winner, and two more James Beard Finalists spread across three kitchens. Diane's Place, Bûcheron, and Oro by Nixta hold the spots today. A spot that slips before the year closes doesn't get the award. That's the point.
