La Belle Vie is on of the top restaurants in Minneapolis, in fact, its rated in the top 50 restaurants in the entire country! This upscale French place does everything exquisitely... From service, to cuisine, you'll love it!

Located in an old, Loring Park mansion, La Belle Vie is the premiere dining spot in the Twin Cities. The dinner crowd is older and upscale, but the night caters to a mix of people, including wealthy old money and young artsy hipsters, all taking advantage of the unique and on-location infused drinks, which are as creative as the menu. The mood is chill and upscale, where your group can enjoy great service and intimate lighting.

THRIFTY TIP: $40 Tasting menu, reasonable bar menu lets you splurge responsibly!

The waiter argued with me about whether or not my spouse and I received the chicken course on the tasting menu. The CHICKEN course! Why would someone lie for something as bland as chicken?? Anyway, he insisted that we did (because he put the order in) and we insisted that we never were served (because we weren't) After arguing we finally got our teeny chicken breasts. Also I got incredibly sick shortly after I crawled into bed a few hours later. I will never go back. EVER.

French cuisine at its absolute finest. Plan to throw the checkbook to the side for a visit to one of the top 5 restaurants in Minneapolis. Don't do this one on the cheap, or you will leave hungry and unsatisfied. Choose a soup over a salad, and the seafood selections are fantastic.

I didn't know that Thrifty Hipsters ate Bone Marrow and fancy plates of cheese for over 40.00... Why is La Belle Vie shamelessly plugging themselves here? This is ridiculous. How would a true Thrifty Hipster know the bartenders name?

I had dinner there and it was very delicious, but it also was over $300 for two people (including wine.) It's just not cheap. The bone marrow was absolutely gross. Not an everyday place and definitely not for the college crowd.

Definitely one of the best restaurants in the TC. Great tapas/appetizers and great drinks from Johnnyas Mariana stated. Let him suggest the drink for you, he's never wrong!
