- City PagesDecember 7, 2012Voted top ten late-night restaurants! Fries at any hour are welcome, especially when they are served addictively crispy, perfectly salted and served with Barbette's creamy aioli.
Emmy GaleFebruary 27, 2018Had the ham and gruyere omelet. The greens were perfect, the gluten free bread was stellar, and the omelet was so fluffy and beautiful! The Art Deco is also super fun, and the service is great!- City PagesMarch 4, 2013It may not scream "Bring your kids here!" yet many do - daily quiche and bakery specials are always full of seasonal ingredients and baked with loving care. Eggs Benedict is the must try.
Hillman PhilistiaMarch 9, 2015French Bistro fair, small menu in american standards, authentic. People like the frites here (small cut twice fried I believe), you can order them as a side and skip the steak.
The green curry/coconut mussels are to die for. Pair with the herbed Brie + bread for one of the best meals in Minneapolis.
Georgia AnsleyDecember 4, 2015Such an authentic and colorful place for lunch. Everyone was friendly and their sandwiches and fries are to die for.
- City PagesAugust 5, 2014Seriously, this has long been the place wine and dining professionals go when they're picking up their own checks. Read more
- City PagesFebruary 22, 2011Voted by City Pages as having the Best Wine List in 2010's Best of the Twin Cities. Barbette’s bubbly selection is both broader and better priced than you’re likely to find around town.
- City PagesNovember 26, 2012Voted top 10 French Fries! Not only are the fries at Café Barbette tasty, they're pretty, too.
Mpls.St.Paul MagazineMarch 14, 2011Try the Whipped Truffle Brie. Just when you thought you couldn’t look at another brie, this whipped version lures you with an earthy touch of black truffles, elevating the cheese to a new form.
StephanieJuly 21, 2015The French fries were not undersold, get the fries. Also great risotto and cocktails. Wonderful staff.
Joost AApril 20, 2014The croissants are 'old world' great. For breakfast, have the ham and gruyere (with caramelized onions)!- Clark RahmanMarch 27, 2012It's hard to go wrong here, but the fries will remain a personal favorite, and their Bastille Day is a good time in the summer.
Lisa GrimmJune 26, 2010Royale with Cheese is the best burger I've had in Minneapolis. Brie, carmelized onions on an english muffin-y bun w/ side of hollandaise. Pure amazing ridiculousness. Order it!

Chicken Hash is an outstanding, and healthy meal that will leave you wondering how it could be soooo good.
Arvind MMay 20, 2014This is a great brunch spot! Excellent coffee! It's rich and bold! The truffled eggs are decadent!
Truffled scrambled egg is to die for !! : ) Also the lemon and blueberry waffles!
ecomaginationMarch 16, 2011Barbette reduces it's carbon footprint by using re-usable to go containers, composting food waste, switching to energystar lightbulbs, using local, seasonal produce, and buying local
Best restaurant I've been to. Amazing brunch, great bloodys. Incredible omelette
Allison LiskOctober 13, 2012Excellent evening spent here. Great wine list, moule fritte, lime basil creme brûlée...
Natalya GoncharovaSeptember 22, 2017I've only tried their oysters. They were ok (hard to compare to the ones we had in Seattle).- Get the Buckwheat crepe with scrambled eggs, herbs and Brie. It's perfect every time.
Javen SwansonApril 23, 2014Hit the late-night happy hour and make a meal out of mussels and pommes frites.
Not sure if it's an everyday thing, but we just had a 2 appetizer + bottle of wine happy hour special for $20! Wonderful :)
- ShawnFebruary 8, 2014Good food, not great food. Overpriced for what you get. Service is good. Can't go wrong with happy hour pomme frites.
The tasting of seasonal vegetables is outstanding. And the Nicoise Salad is also fantastic.
Katie SchutropJuly 7, 2011The beet salad was super delish. Also one of the cutest sidewalk patios in town.
The frites are great, but heh, who doesn't like fried potatoes.
- City PagesJune 22, 2011Voted Best Restaurant for Romance by City Pages in 2011! Try the mussels and french fries, they are especially good
My go-to brunch spot. Best French toast in town!
Love to go to Barbette anytime but Monday and Thursday late night for music are really great.

Barbette is simply good food in a casual, eclectic, come in and make yourself comfortable atmosphere. We call many local farmers our friends and in addition to a wine list that will put you over the moon, we offer many gluten-free and vegetarian items.
