Trieste Cafe

“Super fresh ingredients and really wonderful people running things.”

Edward Hegemann★★★★★

After seeing all the great reviews, we decided to give Trieste Cafe a try, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I was especially impressed that Omar, the owner, was there personally making our lunches. It was so refreshing to watch the meals being prepared fresh right in front of us instead of hidden away in a back kitchen. Between the six of us, we ordered several different menu items, and every single person said their lunch was outstanding. Mine definitely was. We’ll absolutely be back!

What a gem of a restaurant. They cut the vegetables right in front of you and everything tastes that fresh. The food is delicious and the value is extremely high. I had the gyros lunchbox which I could eat daily. I hope I can return before I leave Minneapolis and recommend you stop by for lunch if you are close.

Trieste is the best! Not to be missed in downtown MSP. Excellent, high quality, and original Greek favorites served up by a wonderful couple who’ve clearly been doing this for a minute. Fast and friendly service, fresh food. Just stop in already!

There was a constant line from the time I got there until I left (I ate in the restaurant), but the line moved quickly and clearly is a favorite for locals. The #5 salad was chopped up right in front of me - it doesn’t get more fresh than that. I really enjoyed the tzaziki but was also glad to be able to try - the pita with hummus that is served alongside the salad. Great service as well!
