Located in downtown Minneapolis near the Walker Arts Center, La Belle Vie brings new meaning to pre-theater dining. This restaurant is not just the first act, it’s the entire show. Its talented team of chefs deliver applause-worthy performances. The staff is equally well trained, and the atmosphere is sophisticated and refined—appropriate for its location within the elegant 510 Groveland residence building. There’s a five-course prix fixe menu, and flights of wine can be selected to round out the experience. Or order from the à la carte menu, with selections such as succulent pork tenderloin and flavorful sea bass with a saffron-orange emulsion.
