Restaurant Critic: Check Out Tavern On France’s Patio Dining
Rick Nelson said the Edina restaurant is a great place to enjoy the nice weather.

Looking for some great patio dining? Star Tribune restaurant critic Rick Nelson has given Tavern on France his signature of approval.
In a Thursday live chat, a user asked Nelson where the best patio seats are in the area. Said Nelson:
“Where to begin? Old-school selections would include W.A. Frost & Co. (274 Selby Av., St. Paul), Cafe Lurcat and Bar Lurcat (1624 Harmon Place, Minneapolis) and the Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant (1010 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis). I also recommend Loring Kitchen & Bar (1359 Willow St., Minneapolis), Meritage (410 St. Peter St., St. Paul), Porter Creek Hardwood Grill (14201 Burngarten Dr., Burnsville), Tavern on France (6740 France Av. S., Edina) and Lucia’s (1432 W. 31st St., Minneapolis). But that’s just for starters.”
The Edina restaurant is one of three Tavern on France locations. It has a restaurant and full bar—and a great scene for enjoying Edina nightlife.
