James Beard Restaurants in Twin Cities

Bûcheron is the only 2025 win in this group. Diane's Place stacks a 2025 Finalist nod with North America's 50 Best 2026 and an NYT list mention, and it still sits at Delicious as F*ck on our scale. The rest spans finalists like Oro by Nixta and Khâluna down to a long run of semifinalists going back to 2012. Recognition and our rating aren't the same thing — check the tier before you book.
