Figlio has its merits, but offers a loud, crass environment.  Go there
if you enjoy shouting, or do not think your dining partners will have
much of value to say, and like good (though a bit new fangled) food.

Ristorante Luci, in St. Paul near St. Catherine's college, has the best
Italian food in the greater Twin Cities area.  They make their own
mozzerella, e.g.  A tad more formal than Figlio, but the same price
range.  Smaller beer list, better wine list.

In Minneapolis, try an Italian bistro called Giorgio (sp?), on Hennepin
and about 25th.  If you must check out the hopping places, than go
to Figlio already, but be forewarned that you'll find pretentious
undergraduates dressed in black, smoking clove cigarettes, and speaking
bad French.  Also, bear in mind that the homemade pizza at Figlio is
on a dough that resembles Naan.

The best untraditional pizza in the Twin Cities is at Table of Contents,
in the Hungry Mind bookstore, near Macalaster College (roughly 1600 block
of Grand Avenue, St. Paul).  Nifty wafer crust pizzas, not too pricey.
For deep dish, try Edwardo's (of Chicago) in Minneapolis.

Do not eat Chinese food in the Twin Cities.  Gelatinous sauces are the
norm, and the most common fried wanton is filled (no kidding) with
cream cheese.  Hunan does not exist here, at least not outside people's
homes.

By contrast, eat lots of Thai and Vietnamese.  Oh, yes, the sushi is
good in all the Japanese places in town.

For yuppie food, I'd recommend the Times Bar and Grill, on about 11th
and Nicollet.  They do a wonderful grilled eggplant with goat cheese,
and have live jazz nightly, with no cover.

The Dakota Bar and Grill, in Bandana Square, St. Paul, also has live
jazz.  The acts they get are quite good; covers can go up to $15, usually
worth it.  Their food is gourmet midwestern; i.e., they design their
food so as to use local ingredients.  But it ain't cheap.

Tejas, in downtown Minneapolis, is quite the worthwhile southwestern
place, and not too pricey.  The best deal in the area is Cafe Latte,
on Grand Avenue, in St. Paul: cafeteria style, fancy-schmancy salads,
coffees, confections.  Similar to Le Bus in Philadelphia, but more
upscale.

I'm not sure where MICROS is made.  However, the restaurant management
system from Canada used in many operations is REMANCO.  They were the
first company to market hand-held radio POS terminals.  Another system
that has gained wide acceptance is SQUIRREL.  Their specialty is touch-

As this meeting seems to be more active than alt.restaurants, I post the request here.
The meeting, both this and the other one, tend to be question and answer.
I thought it would be nice if one could gather all the good restaurants over the
world.
I could take responsibility for sorting this out, but to make a good list I need your
help. It would be great if you mailed me some information about your favorite restaurant.

Why not post the information orded somewhat like this:

Country
City

General description

I will then post the list on the and other related meetings every two weeks or so.

I like the Blue Room for eclectic grilled food at 1 Kendall
Square in Cambridge.  A little pricey, but wonderful unusual
lunches and dinners.  They often sell beer made next door
by the Cambridge Brewing Company; last week I had Pumpkin
Beer!

For Korean food, I like the restaurant in Harvard Square
(I forget it's name, but its right next to Grendel's).
There's also a pretty good Korean restaurant across from the
train station in Newton Center, and a very good one
on the B line right off of Commonweath Ave
half way between Washington St and Market St (the Bluestone
Bistro is on the corner, which is a pretty good pizza place).

Dali's in Cambridge is a Spanish restaurant with excellent
tapas (Spanish appetizers) and main dishes.  Go there with a
lot of people and order a variety.  Maybe my favorite
mid-priced restaurant in town.

Pampas in Cambridge on Mass Ave betwen Central Sq and
Harvard Sq is a Brazillian-style Churasqueria (sp?).
The waiters bring around spits of roasted meat and
poultry (18 different kinds I think), and you can take
what you like.  They also have a huge all-you-can-eat
salad bar with a variety of really good and unusual salads
(unlimited palm hearts, yum!).  My favorite place to take
out-of-town visitors.

My favorite midpriced Italian restaurant is Enzo Ristorante
in Brookline on Harvard St nr. Coolidge Corner, though the
quality is occasionally uneven.  The Groceria on Main St
just off of Mass Ave can be good, and has the advantage of
being nearby to Toscannini's, my favorite ice cream place
in Boston.

For Thai food, my favorite is Sawasdee in Brookline
Village, but there's a bunch of good Thai and Vietnamese
restaurants near BU along Commonwealth and Brighton Ave.

For Persian Food, Rose's nr Watertown Square is very good
and there's a wondeful Persian bakery across the street
that sell the richest ice cream I've ever tasted.

There is an excellent Chinese restaurant a few blocks from our house
that always has a steady trickle of customers, but which I think
deserves considerably more business than they get. I think they make
better food than anything on the much-ballyhooed Mt. View restaurant
row, and at much cheaper prices. Everything is fresh and very
flavorful, and there is no MSG.

It is called "Yee Lim Restaurant", on 3160 The Alameda, Santa Clara.
(408) 984-0645, right next to Santa Clara University on the western
side, just before the road is blocked off for the campus.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with this restaurant or anyone who
works there. I just really love the food and want to see them prosper
so I can always eat there.

You *MUST* go to Pascal Manalli's (sp?) on Orleans (I think).  At any rate,
it's in Uptown right off of St. Charles.  You *MUST* order the Barbecued
Shrimp, a Dixie Beer, and the bread pudding.


Also in uptown, where St. Charles runs into the levy (just take a street car
from Canal all the way to the end of St. Charles), there's a place called
the Camellia Grill.  Excellent for lunch or breakfast.


The ACME Oyster Bar on D'Iberville (I think), one block towards the river off
of Bourbon, has good Oyster Po'Boys, Oysters on the Half Shell, and more Dixie
Beer.  


For a late night treat, go the Cafe' du Monde in Jackson Square in the French
Quarter.  Beniegts (sp? say BEN - YEAHS) and Cafe au Lait are the rule (sorry,
no Dixie Beer here).

Enjoy,

My two absolute favorites (in the entire country) are Cottonwood Cafe (2
locations: Cambridge and Back Bay) and Cornucopia (Downtown).  Both are
moderate to expensive, Cottonwood being cheaper than Cornucopia.

Cottonwood is a bit trendy; it's a southwestern restaurant with unfailingly
interesting and wonderful food.  Cornucopia is more eclectic, with an
emphasis on fruit and vegetables, but it's by no means vegetarian.

For cheaper food, try:
Indian: India Quality Restaurant (Kenmore Square)
Thai:   Sawasdee (Brookline Village)
MidEast: Skewers (Harvard Square) or The Middle East (Central Square)

Have Fun.
