LAVENDER MAGAZINE - THE FAB 50

Voted #1 Fine Dining Restaurant

Chef J.P. Samuelson and his staff create the casual elegance that is jP American Bistro, in Minneapolis’s LynLake District. The eclectic menu changes with the seasons, but always features pizzas, pastas, and innovative takes on meat and potatoes, as well as an abundance of fresh fish. Desserts include classics such as crème brûlée, chocolate mole cake, and peach and raspberry crostata. Overall, Samuelson’s Mediterranean training comes through, with flavors from France, Italy—even Asia. The bistro enjoys relationships with local farmers, so the makings of your meal are never stale. Wine offerings from around the world are at your fingertips, many available by the glass. If it sounds good, that’s because it is. Your table awaits. —RD

CITY PAGES - CARROT INVITATIONAL

By Dara Moskowitz

"The second chef I spoke to for my Bag of Carrots Invitational was J.P. Samuelson, of jP American Bistro, whom I chose because he's supremely talented and I don't have a good reason to talk about him or his restaurant often enough."
