Saffron has built a steady following in Northeast Minneapolis, where visitors describe a relaxing, unhurried room to match the cooking. The kitchen has been recognized by the James Beard Foundation six times as a semifinalist — five nods for Rising Star Chef of the Year between 2008 and 2012, and one for Best Chef in 2013.
Beyond that recognition, Saffron has earned a local reputation for consistently good food paired with a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere.
