About

RestaurantBarCafeLive Music Venue
The Aster Cafe is located under the trees on the prettiest street in Minneapolis. Overlooking the mighty Mississippi river and the skyline of the city, the Aster is a candle-lit restaurant-bar with a sweet European patio. Live music, great brunches, craft beers and cocktails, and a thoughtful wine list add up to City Pages calling us the “best place to go on a first date”. Our menu is fresh (no deep fryers!) and inventive. We also have lovely spaces for events and weddings, which you can check out by contacting our Event Goddess. So get down here!

    We ate here early evening Sunday September 6 after seeing the excellent movie Wild Inside at the nearby Main Cinema. We were seated immediately on the nice patio, which has a decent view of the downtown Minneapolis skyline. It has a limited casual menu, but seemed to cover all the bases needed for patio dining. The servers were busy, but they provided us with excellent attentive service and checked in to see how we were doing after getting our food and beverages. It was a friendly mixed crowd that was enjoying itself as the end of another summer approached all too soon. No one seemed to be eating in the dark interior, except for the ghosts of Saint Anthony Main bars and restaurants past.

    One of the best views in Minneapolis. It’s a limited menu but what’s there is good. My Brisket bowl was $19 and a pint of beer is $9. They have a lovely outdoor patio that looks over the river and the downtown skyline. Would prefer a larger beer and cocktail selection.

    We were visiting the cities for a Twins game and ended up at Aster's Cafe. Great food and service. Next time we would sit outside. Inside is a bit dark and noisy. Definitely worthwhile visit!

    What a gem! Great food. We had Sangria which was lovely. The bees were a bit much at the beginning but they went away when I covered the wine glasses.

    We recently hosted a large party (25-30 people) on the patio at Aster Cafe and it was terrific! Lydia (manager) helped me set it all up and was so helpful and wonderful to work with. Nathan was our server and he was phenomenal. The whole team made the set up perfect for our party and accommodated us in every way possible! The drinks were great and they were fast and wonderful with appetizers spread out between tables. They even provided free desserts for the party as we were celebrating a UMN student's thesis defense! I can't recommend Aster cafe for a party enough- we will definitely be back for future parties and just for happy hour and dinner as the food and atmosphere and drinks are all wonderful! Thanks again to Lydia and Nathan!
