“We hired Brasa Catering for our wedding and couldn't happier with the food and service they provided. We received multiple comments that it was "one of the best wedding meals they've had" from a few guests. Not only was the food delicious, but the crew was extremely kind and went above and beyond for us. Thank you again for everything, we'll keep you in mind for future events!“

“If the TV show Cheers had a pizza joint in Hopkins, it would be Pizza Lucé.

This is one of those rare places where everyone seems to know your name and even better, remembers your order. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and authentically neighborhood-focused. Whether you’re stopping in after a bike ride, meeting friends for brunch, or grabbing a late-night bite, it feels like home.

The service team is outstanding. Hannah went above and beyond, crafting two custom coffee martinis that were every bit as good as anything you’d find at a dedicated cocktail bar. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you that’s the standard here.

The brunch is excellent, especially on the patio when Minnesota weather cooperates. Located right along the bike path, it’s the perfect destination for food, drinks, and people-watching. The menu has something for everyone, from creative specialty pizzas and breakfast pizzas to vegan options, plus favorites like bruschetta and lasagna.

Reasonable prices, generous hours, consistently great food, and a staff that treats you like family. In a world of chains and cookie-cutter restaurants, Pizza Lucé Hopkins remains a true neighborhood gem.

Sometimes you want more than a meal, you want a place where everybody knows your name. This is that place. #cheers!“

“Local fare done well. Great service!“

“My husband and I chose to celebrate our one year anniversary here today. It was both of our first times dining at Broders’ and we enjoyed everything about this wonderful experience! Upon arriving we were attempting to take a selfie photo outside and one of the employees opened the front door and asked us if we would like him to take our photo. Tyson so kindly took several photo angles and opened up the door for us as we walked in. It truly felt like we were being welcomed into someone’s warm and inviting home. Our sweet waitress helped me select the most delectable glass of wine I have ever tasted. Words cannot explain how delicious the pasta was… we lapped up every single drop and were in absolute food heaven. To top it all off… we were treated to a free dessert of our choosing along with two chocolate cocoa truffles on the house!! After we finished our meal we went across the street to their storefront to purchase some pasta and sauce to enjoy at some point in the coming weeks. We will definitely be back for all special occasions and certainly for our two year anniversary. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience and meal this is the place!! Enjoy!“

“When I moved to the area from the country, I immediately started looking for plant based restaurants to go to in Minneapolis. I had wanted to go to trio, but they were moving locations at the time. This past trip to Minneapolis, I realized they were open again and was finally able to go. I can’t even describe how amazing my experience was! The menu had so many options and was so unique. I love to tell animal eaters that I like to eat dirty vegan food and not just vegetables, and that is definitely what it was! My partner and I ate so much so fast that I couldn’t even process my experience before it was over. I have never had such amazing plant based food. Even better than the food was the people working there. I have been to multiple plant based restaurants but I have never been able to truly feel the passion that the workers have like at trio. We were helped by a guy named Boston who was super personable and kind. We talked to him about the difference between the terms vegan and plant-based, and I could tell that the business genuinely cares about the impact they have on the community and the world. I wish that I could post pictures of my food, but I was too excited to eat it and forgot to take them like I usually do. I look forward to going, and hopefully seeing Boston again, and I would make the hour and a half trip just to do so. I highly recommend, especially since I was informed that it is the first black owned plant-based restaurant in Minneapolis. Thank you so much Trio!!!!“

“Delicious margaritas, fresh food, awesome staff!“

“Myself and four friends were in Minneapolis for a few days on a visit from Ireland and had breakfast here a few times. Food was delicious. Great choice on the menu. Service was brilliant. Staff friendly and efficient.“

“Phenomenal dining experience!!\nDifficult to choose from so many choices!! Quality is amazing, portions are generous, and scrumptious!!\nWe enjoyed the octopus, bruschetta with ricotta and tomatoes, mushroom confit, branzino and pasta with tuna. \nOur served, Sidney, was professional, kind, and very careful with our food allergies. She’s an incredible asset to your restaurant!!\nWho would have thought you could get such an incredible Italian meal in Minneapolis? This place is a must!!“

“It's Taco Tuesday and I was craving Mexican food, but I didn't just wanna go to the type of place you think of when "Mexican" is brought up... I'm fancy, so I wanted something a bit more upscale. I did a little bit of research and wouldn't you know it... Colita came up. So here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set south of downtown and a bit west of The Mall of America on Penn Avenue is this gem. There is no private parking lot, but plenty of street parking to leave your fly ride. But once you walk up to the restaurant you can immediately understand the message they're trying to send. Everything looks so modern, straightforward with straight lines, grey colors and light woods. There is a small outdoor section where you can dine if you get lucky enough to land a spot there. Inside carries a very similar style with a little nod to the pueblos and architecture of the southwest. The decor is minimalistic and the "loudest" thing in the room is the live plant wall seated directly behind the bar, which was super cool. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues whatsoever. Food/Drink: I was able to try so many different dishes and drinks here and the list is below... 🍹: Xochitl In Love 🍸: La Clandestina 🐟: Tuna Tostada 🌮: Chicken Tinga Tostada 🦪: Seared Scallops 🫓: Tlayuda 🥃: Colita Old Fashioned 🥩: Lamb Barbacoa Tacos 🫔: Duck Tamal However, my favorite things were the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, Duck Tamal and Seared Scallops, in that order. The food here is phenomenal, the drinks are excellently crafted and things are served tapas style so you don't get too full off of just one thing! Order a whole bunch of stuff and share with the table! Value: As I mentioned earlier, I wanted upscale and the priced dddooo reflect that. Lol. This is a nice place so be prepared to spend... Like you're downtown somewhere. In conclusion, I loved this place and I will come back over and over. Check this place out the next time you're in the area!“

“This our first time in MN for appointments at Mayo Clinic. The staff were so welcoming and the food was delicious. 😋“

“Loved this spot! It's good for light lunches and dinners. They food was very good, I had the special, which was super yummy! They can accommodate kids and people with disabilities, there is a wheelchair accessible restroom. Their patio is very decent sized. I think the indoor space isn't as large, so something to consider when it isn't nice out. They have beer, wine and cocktails.“

“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“

“First time visitors but we will definitely be back. Tyler was an amazing server and made great appetizer recommendations. The food came out swiftly, was well executed and abundant. We cannot wait to be back soon.“

“I’ve been wanting to eat here for a while and today was the day! I had the Breakfast Burrito and my friend had the Poutine. Both were incredible and the best vegan food I’ve had. I’ve been vegan for many years, but even those who don’t typically follow a plant based diet will love this place. Great coffee and friendly employees. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Fantastic food. I found this gem on DoorDash and it is hands down my favorite vegan option in the Cities. The food is fresh and delicious!“

“What a great place. Our waiter Ramesh walked us thru the menu pointing out his favorites and that you can order how spicy you want yours. My fav was the Chicken Tiki Masala! Be sure to order the Naan bread basket assortment. Fantastic food and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend this place.“

“This woman is a huge blessing to here community! 🥹🥹“

“If you need your party catered, this is the place to go. Staff: Easy to work with, on time, good prices, friendly and very accommodating. Food: Gorgeous/amazing presentation , fresh, hot, professionally packed. I ordered from Red Rabbit in Saint Paul for my work holiday party. Everyone LOVED the food and the portions are generous. I was able to easily and beautifully display it. The timing was perfect and everything went smoother than I had hoped. This is your one stop shop for all of your party food needs. Hats off to the chefs and management for making our party wonderful.“

“They have great food with tons of vegan options and a wonderful patio! Today I ordered my favorite dish a roti wrap and it accidentally came with chicken instead of the vegan chickpea version. That’s never happened to me there before. They felt really bad about it and made me a new one and comped my meal and that of my friend. That is above and beyond an excellent customer service. I highly recommend.“

“Great atmosphere! So many people having a great time. Ordered the Dragon's Milk Braised Beef Ribs with snap peas and mash. So good! So tender and flavorful! Gravy was chef's kiss!“

“My absolute favorite ice cream! We stop to get some every time we are in Minneapolis. We’ve enjoyed every flavor, but the lemon olive oil is so good that I dream about it! Definitely recommend!!!!“

“Great people, wonderful food, reasonably priced, great atmosphere and community a 5 out 5“

“My husband and I love coming here for our business meetings, usually on Mondays. We always try to sit in Lilly’s section when she’s working — she’s hands down one of the best! Her attention to detail, quick service, and fun personality make every visit awesome. She’s funny, relatable, and just real. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does — and it shows. We always look forward to seeing her! 🌟“

“I got G20. Grilled pork platter. Savory, flavorful and textured in all the right ways. In disbelief that it's vegan. Portions are huge. Husband got the pad thai - it's everything you'd want in a pad thai, including that wok grill flavor. Food came out fast. Really comfortable atmosphere. Family friendly. Great service.“

“Wow!! First time here and it did not disappoint!! Delicious!!“

“I have been visiting Emily's since I was a kid. The food is authentic, fresh and of high quality. Portions have gotten smaller and prices are a bit high but as is at most places now. We went this last visit with a large group of 18 for a family birthday party, so we reserved the seating area upstairs. Our waiter was accommodating and friendly. We weren't able to get every order complete because they ran out of meat pies but they did substitute to our liking. One meal was missing but the charge was taken off the bill. We did end up staying half an hour past closing but the staff did not make us feel rushed or unwanted. We did apologize, thank them and tip accordingly. So with a few mistakes we made due just fine and I will always be a returning customer. Excellent food as always!“

“I, quite literally, had the best meal of my life here! We shared the samosas, grilled scallops, grilled salmon, butter chicken, and a ginger chaitini. The flavor in these dishes was something I have never experienced at any other restaurant. They genuinely have a menu that caters to everyone’s likes and tastes. The service was wonderful and the owner was incredibly kind and eager to share his passion with us. I will 100000% be coming back and I highly recommend you go as well!“

“We come here every visit to Minnesota! The salsa and sesame chicken tacos are our favorite, but we love the firecracker shrimp & guava pork tacos too!! We tried the fried avocado taco and loved that this time too, and the steak taco is always great! Service is quick and portions are super filling. Can't wait to come back !“

“We love the pizza at Lola & have been coming here since it opened. It is always loud & busy, so that's just part of it. The service was fast but the weird part of that they gave some small glasses with lukewarm water to drink. we had to ask for water over and over. finally, the hostess brought us a carafe with cold ice water. the pizza was a good as ever!“

“The meals are consistently fantastic. I’ve never had a bad meal at this restaurant over the last few years. The ingredients are high quality, fresh, and well prepared. The dishes come out delicious every time. It makes dining incredibly easy when I know I can choose anything on the menu and it will be great. The service is also incredible. Knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly staff. The dining and bar areas are equally beautiful in distinctive ways. Very pleasing to the eye. Zelo is a must try downtown, and if you do, it will become one of your go to restaurants for a nice night out.“

“Super good love this place 😋😋😋“

“Great food, made from scratch!!“

“the food and bakery items are all so delicious!!“

“Raw Chicken, I took pictures, they will be posted everywhere as a warning to others.“

“Fantastic place! The coconut broth was the best I ever had in a hot pot place. Every item and sauces are cooked from scratch and it shows! It was my daughter’s birthday and everything was closed, we were so lucky to find this place through Reddit forum. The owner was also very kind and pleasant to us. 5 stars!! And coming back!“
