About

A 4.2-star Yelp rating from 112 reviews suggests Wood + Paddle Eatery is a well-regarded spot, even with only one direct rating. Inside the Royal Sonesta Minneapolis Downtown, this contemporary American restaurant leans into Nordic tradition, with a wood-fired grill anchoring much of the menu. Locally sourced ingredients and a mix of American, European, and fusion cuisines make it a versatile choice for a downtown dinner or weekend brunch.

The outdoor seating is a welcome perk in warmer months. Hours run from 6:30am daily, so you can start your morning here too. The crowd tends to be mixed gay and straight, giving it a relaxed, inclusive feel. If you're exploring nearby, Pizza Lucé Downtown is another local option worth knowing.
