Dinner du Nord - America’s Longest Dinner Table - is returning to Downtown Minneapolis on Thursday, September 10 at 5pm. The open-air culinary celebration set on seven blocks of Nicollet Mall will bring together dozens of hospitality establishments to serve dinner to thousands of guests.
At Dinner du Nord, guests select signature prix fixe menus from participating Minneapolis establishments, ranging from fine dining destinations to casual food trucks, all served al fresco on the bus-free Nicollet Mall. A wide variety of cuisines and ticket packages are available to appeal to every palate and budget.
“Dinner du Nord was created to promote our city’s hospitality industry and downtown, and an unanticipated benefit from last year’s inaugural event was the joy people experienced in sharing a meal with friends and meeting new people, too. Maureen McDowall is leading the production this year, and we both are excited that this year’s participating restaurants are even more diverse.” Founder Scott Mayer
