Discover the bold flavors and fascinating stories of Minneapolis on our Secret Food Tour through the North Loop and St. Anthony, two of the city’s most historic and trendsetting neighborhoods.
Led by a passionate local guide, this walking tour immerses you in the city’s evolving food scene, where Scandinavian roots, immigrant traditions, and modern creativity collide on every plate. As you stroll along red-brick streets, riverfront views, and revitalized warehouses, you’ll experience why Minneapolis is one of the Midwest’s most exciting culinary destinations.
Your journey includes 6 delicious tastings that highlight both local favorites and global inspirations. Begin in the lively North Loop, a former warehouse district now filled with award-winning restaurants and food artisans. Bite into a slice of coal-fired pizza, blistered to perfection and topped with local, seasonal ingredients — a beloved Twin Cities take on a classic. Then, indulge in golden beer-battered cheese curds, crispy outside and irresistibly melty inside, served with a unique house-made ketchup.
Next, cross the Hennepin Avenue Bridge over the Mississippi River into St. Anthony, Minneapolis’s oldest neighborhood. Here, you’ll savor handmade pierogies, a nod to the area’s Eastern European heritage, paired with comforting traditional sides. Finally, end your experience with a scoop of small-batch ice cream, crafted from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, plus, as always, our delicious secret dish, revealed only on the tour.
Whether you’re a curious local or visiting from afar, this tour offers the perfect taste of Minneapolis, full of food, stories, and local flavor you won’t forget.
