2011 | Best Restaurant for Romance

Charming Barbette has the market cornered when it comes to bohemian notions of romance. First, the food is French, the leading cuisine in sexy eating, and the kitchen stays open past midnight every night. Second, the quirky space is dimly lit... More >

2008 | BEST RESTAURANT FOR ROMANCE

What makes a romantic evening? Hell, a bag full of White Castle sliders can do the trick if the stars are properly aligned, so it's impossible to say for certain. But some factors are virtually guaranteed to make a convivial evening. Chic... More >
2007 | BEST FRIES

Not only are the fries at Café Barbette tasty, they're pretty, too. Served in a white ceramic bowl, they're cut in long, slender rectangles with golden edges and glistening sides. They curve slightly inward, piled high on top of one another like... More >
2006 | BEST FRIES

It's a wonder Barbette's wildly popular fries aren't regulated by the state; serving them from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. seems a bit much for the public morals. These darling hand-cut irregulars are fried in small batches to crispy caramel... More >

Barbette, located in Uptown Minneapolis is a gem of a place. I have been to Barbette more that a few times over the past couple years for both lunch and dinners. Barbette models itself after a French bistro with an eclectic casual hip atmosphere. Barbette prides itself on it�s use of local and organic ingredients. Every time I been there I have ordered a steak and every time it was amazing. As an experiment or ongoing evening out, the experience is worth the price. Another benefit is that you can walk over to Chino's for cocktails after a wonderful dinning experience. Enjoy your evening out. GT
