Cathedral Hill Dining: Places to Eat on the Hill
Saint Paul's most historically charming neighborhood also happens to serve up some of the city's best food.
Here's a look at our favorite spots on the hill (in no particular order—well, except alphabetical).
French Hen Cafe
Get your brunch on at French Hen. The cozy cafe on Selby offers up a wide array of French and Creole-influenced comfort foods.
Great Harvest Bread Co.
Because it only makes sense to get your sandwiches at a place that bakes fresh bread from scratch daily. Stop into Great Harvest from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to get your fix.
Handsome Hog
Known for elevated Southern cuisine, Handsome Hog relocated from Lowertown to the corner of Western and Selby. Enjoy delicious southern-inspired creations on the expansive patio or inside the revamped space.
La Grolla
Stellar Italian on a stellar patio—that’s what you’ll find at Cathedral Hill’s La Grolla. The upscale neighborhood restaurant has been delighting patrons with tasty dishes since 2003.
Moscow on the Hill
It only makes sense that Russian cuisine has found a worthy home in the Twin Cities’ most European-esque neighborhood. From borscht to brunch to in-house vodka, Moscow on the Hill has everything you need for the ultimate Russian dining experience.
Nina’s Coffee Cafe
Tucked into Cathedral Hill’s gorgeous and historic Blair Arcade Building, Nina’s is a local favorite for a tasty cup of joe, light breakfast and good conversation.
Red Cow
Red Cow on Selby is the popular gourmet burger joint’s second of four (and only Saint Paul) location. While obviously best known for their burgers, Red Cow also serves up a mean brunch.
W.A. Frost
Minnesota’s best patio and most romantic restaurant? Check and check. Cathedral Hill’s W.A. Frost seems to always make the shortlist for top Twin Cities’ dining experiences—meaning it’s worthy of your shortlist, too.
Yumi
Open since March 2020, Yumi brings exceptional sushi with an even more exceptional Japanese whisky list to Selby Ave. Complete the experience with a Double Dragon roll, you won’t regret it.
