Saint Genevieve Reviews
Special little spot to enjoy a craft cocktail or a bite :)
Get the beignets. Hot, sugared, and the thing everybody comes for. After that, the omelette du jour is beautifully done and the shakshouka en cocotte is the move if you want some heat. Vietnamese coffee instead of drip. Weekend brunch only and it fills up, so go early. One of the better brunches in Minneapolis.
I stopped by after seeing this place listed as one of the top brunch spots in Minnesota, and it definitely lived up to the hype. What initially caught my attention was the shakshuka—I haven't had a good one in years—but then my server came along and completely changed my plans. He highly recommended the burger and the Steak Eggs Benedict, so I figured I'd trust the professional. Good decision.

Saint Genevieve offers an intimate atmosphere, making it a great spot for people watching and date nights. The menu boasts expertly chosen dishes, including the grilled snapper, gnocchi with black garlic, and Gem Salads, all of which are perfectly balanced with flavor and presentation. The wine list is small but well-curated. The dining area is cozy, but tables are tightly packed, and the lack of a coat check area can be inconvenient. The food is delicious, with an exquisite French touch, such as French toast topped with sweet jam or an omelette with puréed carrots. The house-made hot sauce is addicting, and the crème brûlée and chocolate cream dessert are crowd-pleasers. While the service can be slow at times, the staff, like Karen, aim to make customers feel special.
