All Saints Restaurant

All Saints sits in Northeast Minneapolis doing straightforward American cooking, and the recognition it's picked up says more than any single dish could. Local press has kept it on its radar, and it's landed on a national list of restaurants worth traveling for — the kind of dual attention a neighborhood spot doesn't get by coasting.

That's the case here, absent a flashy hook or a famous name to lean on. The restaurant earns its place through consistency, the sort that gets noticed by people who eat around for a living and by the city desk covering its own backyard. When both agree, it's not luck.

Northeast Minneapolis has plenty of casual American food. All Saints is the one that made outsiders pay attention to it.
