Celebrated table
The story
Maison Margaux brings classic French cuisine to Minneapolis's North Loop neighborhood, earning Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence in 2024 — a distinction reserved for restaurants with wine lists that display superior depth and breadth across regions and vintages.
The Best of Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly. Wine Spectator grants it to a select tier of restaurants whose lists go well beyond the basics, offering guests genuine choice and discovery. That this recognition found a home in Minneapolis speaks to the seriousness with which Maison Margaux approaches the pairing of bottle and plate — a sensibility that sits at the heart of French dining tradition.
French cuisine, at its best, is about precision and generosity in equal measure — a philosophy that Maison Margaux carries into its dinner service. Whether you arrive for a carefully composed meal or to explore the wine list on its own terms, the room on North First Street offers the kind of occasion that Minneapolis's dining scene is increasingly known for producing.
