Restaurant by day, venue by night.

Story

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”. Under Executive Chefs Drew Ledo and Rachel Bonhus, 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!

Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates an eclectic space with genuine staff and hand crafted food and drinks. Their brunch menu is incredible! Would highly recommend going on a weekend to see local musicians and bands. Parking can be difficult on weekends, so prepare to walk a couple blocks. All together, such a great find in Northeast Minneapolis!

I've loved the Aster for a few years and I will continue being a devoted patron for a long time. If you enjoy live music (who doesn't?) then you must see the exceptional talent that is booked. The intimacy of the staging is very nice. I've especially been devoted to the Saturday morning event called 'Bluegrass Brunch' which is a free event on Saturday mornings from 11:00am to 1:00pm occurring in the winter time. I highly suggest this recurring event! The food is splendid and the staff are some of the nicest folk you've ever met. The Aster Cafe is one of my top picks for live music in the Twin Cities. Make it a point to visit, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

Came at about 1:10 for lunch. We were informed that it would be an hour wait which was not a big deal. You can get drinks and sit and people watch. It appeared that they wanted to clear out the brunch people before seating the lunch people. The wait was fine except when I had ordered off that menu, what I had wanted they ran out off. Why switch over menus if you will not be able to give us what we want. When we got our food, it was good. The service was ok at best. Took our order, checked in once, had to notify her that we wanted to pay.

I wasn't impressed with this place.  I had to wait for my drink for to long.  The guy beside me waited about 20 minutes for his food(soup and a sandwich) but he loves the place.  I myself got my sandwich pretty quick.  Super dark ambiance like they want to compete with the rich places which explains why the high prices($12 for a club sandwich which was only so so).   Probably won't go again.

Both cocktails and the sangria we sampled were delicious--no one flavor dominating, but creating a well-blended new flavor out of all the ingredients. The flat bread we ordered was similar: savory and delicious and neither over- not undercooked, without any one note being overpowering.

Our server was affable and highly professional. There's a lovely view of downtown. The lighting level is a bit lower than usual, for atmosphere. Call ahead, check their Web page, or take home a calendar of their live music schedule.
