Nolabelle has always been fantastic. Staff, food, atmosphere is always great. We always try to get Paige for our server, but all the people there are awesome. I just wish they'd change the menu up a little more often based on the season.

Loved the feeling of this restaurant :) The food was scrumptious! I had the blueberry/ham grilled cheese. It was so good! Service was amazing, Rachel helped us a ton and was extremely kind.

Had a lunch date with my girlfriend and the food was amazing. Super fresh, decent portion sizes, and the taste was phenomenal. I got the Schnitzel Cubana and my girlfriend got a French Dip. Definitely recommend and I’m excited to come back to try dinner.

Nolabelle Kitchen + Bar is, without a doubt, Mankato's best restaurant.

Between a great location, friendly staff, and the most delicious bites in town, I really have nothing but great things to say about this place. Highlights of the menu include:

- Gochujang Pork Belly
- Roasted Chicken Legs (Personal favorite)
- Pesto Burrata Cavatappi
- California Benny (Brunch)

But I don't think you'll go wrong with anything you eat here. I'd also recommend making reservations, especially on weekends and for brunch as it tends to be busy.

I usually don’t do this but me and my husband had a terrible experience we felt judged the min we came in like we couldn’t afford it. We ordered the shrimp cakes definitely frozen shrimp just tasted so chewy and was just a grease bomb. then my husband ordered the blacken salmon which at least came out warm but literally had to drench it in sause to taste good. i ordered the steak skillet took us an hour to get our food mind you for me to get a steak so cold the butter they put on it wouldn’t even melt. What a waste of finding a babysitter

edit since said owner wants to speak up on something said owner wasn’t involved in

I did complain to my waitress after we paid i told her how my steak was cold which now looking at your reviews is a common issue with your dinner service i wasn’t going to complain during because why would i wait another hour for a steak that should have been served right the first time. now since it looks like you don’t know how to read i waited for my husband to eat his food and your butter never melted since my steak was brought to me cold. and im so glad my food wasn’t under your dusty heat lamps. what i also find wild is you read this complaint and instead of being a grown woman and taking corrective criticism you decided to respond with one of the dumbest things i’ve ever read because with my response what made you think i’d want to return the waitress offered to maybe get us a gift card which i declined because i don’t want to go back. But thanks for the dog treat for my dog :)

I find Nolabelle to be the best food and dining experience in Mankato. I love the variety of choices in food, the evolving menu, and that I have never had an item I did not enjoy. I have yet to order the same item twice, as I find myself wanting to try all of their offerings. My significant other and I try to make it there at least once a month.

The staff has always be friendly and helpful in anyway they can be. When we have gone with large groups, they have been attentive and shown patience to all, including the small children. And when my significant other and I have gone for special occasions, they have allowed us our intimacy. The owner is often visible, present, and contributing to the staff as much as she can. You may see her cooking, bartending, busing tables, or even seating those who walk in the door. She has been nothing but kind and respectful in her interactions with all that I have seen her interact with.

Overall, I can not highlight this place enough, as there is limitless reasons to venture to Nolabelle. One will be hard pressed to find another establishment in the greater Mankato area that has as good of food, atmosphere, and staff as Nolabelle. You will never go wrong when you choose Nolabelle, and I hope to be visiting there well into the future. Nolabelle is unparalleled and unrivaled, with no contemporaries in the greater Mankato area.

So when we first got there a employee went to blow her nose by the trash can in the dining area and didn't wash her hands, 2nd I was choking on a bristle from a brush literally caused me to panic so bad I had to pull that thing out my throat it was terrifying they still made me pay for a meal I didn't eat

As someone who loves supporting local talent, I was blown away by the creativity and care that goes into Nolabelle Kitchen’s meals. It’s more than food—it’s a whole vibe. Every dish I've tried has been full of flavor and soul.

Had one of the best meals of my life (so far). It was a hard choice. So many things sounded good on the menu. But I choose the Walleye on farrow and carrot purée. It was so flavorful and full of depth. I savored every bite. I have to say we also started with the broccoli appetizer. I was amazing. Very cheesy and I loved the roasted broccoli. I highly recommend eating here when in Mankato.
