The Kenwood Restaurant in the Kenwood neighborhood of Minneapolis
Situated in the neighborhood of the same name in South Minneapolis sits the newly opened The Kenwood Restaurant. The restaurant is headed by veteran Chef Don Saunders, whom you may know from his other highly acclaimed South Minneapolis fine dining Restaurant, In Season. For the residents of Kenwood, Saunders had a little something different in mind while holding onto the locally sourced and seasonally driven philosophies that are demonstrated in his flagship.
For The Kenwood, Saunders combines his traditional French trained version of fine dining with a corner cafe approach. Open from 8am – 9pm most days, extending to 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays with brunch only hours on Sunday, the restaurant is designed to keep everyone in mind, from casual diners to highly sophisticated palates. While Saunders new gig is fine dining gone casual, it was done this way with his neighbors in mind. The eclectic and affluent community clearly had an unfilled niche when it came to top shelf dining, but they also needed a place to sit and relax while enjoying a cup of coffee and indulging in early edition newspapers.
