Mediterranean Restaurants in Minnesota

When Guy Fieri’s iconic red Camaro rolls into Minneapolis, he knows he’s in for some serious Mediterranean flavor. The Land of 10,000 Lakes has become an unexpected hotspot for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, and Triple D has featured 7 outstanding restaurants in the Twin Cities area since 2009. With an impressive average rating of 4.5 stars, these joints are serving up the real deal.

Leading the pack is Emily’s Lebanese Deli, a Minneapolis gem boasting a 4.7-star rating that had Guy going back for seconds on their homemade hummus and perfectly spiced kebabs. Red Wagon Pizza Company also earned its stripes with a 4.6-star rating, proving that Mediterranean-inspired pies can hold their own in any pizzeria showdown. While 2 of the original 7 restaurants have since closed their doors, the remaining 5 continue to dish out the kind of bold, authentic flavors that make Flavortown proud. From grape leaves to falafel, Minneapolis is putting Minnesota on the Mediterranean map—one delicious bite at a time.
