I was excited to grab lunch with friends at Barbette to celebrate our friend’s birthday as it was my first official time. Previously I had only been there for patio drinks.
The food definitely lived up to the hype!

Husband loves French cuisine so Manger Restaurant & Wine Bar in Bayport, pronounced “mon-g” and meaning “eat” in French, has been on our list for a while. We decided to celebrate an early Valentine’s Day with a dinner reservation last week and I’m excited to share!

Last year I did a recap of my 12 favorite foods for 12 months and it was so fun I had to do it again for foods of 2024.
Sharing in no particular order…

I’ve been wanting to go to Billy Sushi for a while so I was so excited when my friend suggested we head there for dinner and it felt meant to be when we lucked out with parking outside AND seats at the bar!

I was lucky enough to get to Colita with my bests for a Friendsgiving feast.
I had never been, but have definitely heard about it and can happily say it lived up to the hype. They recommend sharing plates, which was a great idea for us, the only downside is that we were a group of four and many of the plates come with 2 items. My only critique of the experience is that I do wish that there was more on the plates at the price point, because we all left still hungry so it was more of a tasting menu than a meal.

I’ve been hearing about Olio in Bayport, Minnesota for a while, but it got put to the top of the list when my friend told me recently that it was his favorite and he didn’t want me to write a review about it so his “spot would blow up.” hahahaha. I’m such a good friend ☺️
Really though, I was happy to get the reminder, because that little strip of restaurants in Bayport doesn’t get enough credit or exposure.

I’ve previously visited Hope Breakfast Bar in St. Paul so I was excited to hear that they were opening one up so close to me in Woodbury.
We went for a Saturday brunch and lucked out that it was still warm enough outside to sit on the patio. Definitely recommend you have a reservation as the place is very small and generally book up at all locations.

It’s been open for a few months so it was time to check out Southern Social in Woodbury.
I’m not normally someone who loves ribs and other barbecue sauce type items so I have been putting off the visit, but I’m glad I went!

When I previously lived in Northeast, Minneapolis Food Trucks were a standard diet staple as we bopped around from brewery to brewery. Food trucks are my absolute favorite way to eat, because I can easily graze and try one item from each place.
I recently became a Twin Cities Hummingbird and was asked to share my favorite Food Trucks in honor of the holiday so below I’m going to share my favorite 5 food trucks*
*I am making a very conscious effort to only pick food trucks and not include food stands, so if you want my list of ultimate “fair” foods you can check out any of my previous blogs.
