If you don’t already know – The Harriet Brasserie is the perfect spot for the experienced culinary enthusiast or anyone looking for the highest level cuisine in the cities at surprisingly reasonable prices.
The atmosphere is warm, the staff are so friendly and helpful, and the food is simply incredible. There are “no-skips” on this menu (brunch or dinner). You can tell that the people here love what they do, it comes out in every aspect of the experience.

Fantastic neighborhood spot! It was our first time dining here and we had a great time. The patio was quiet and private, and the staff were very friendly. We ordered the duck taco, mussels, pesto fettuccine with asparagus and a side of fries. We’d order all of it again, but the duck taco was our favorite!
Can’t wait to return!

First time coming to Harriet Brasserie, and the food was good. This seems like a frequent place where the Linden Hills residents frequent. I ordered the banana pancakes and they were quite delicious. Portion size was small for the price, but i think that it may be organic ingredients but not too sure. My wife ordered the tofu hash, which she said was ok. The service was excellent, and my coffee never went empty. One thing to not the entrance is in the front of the building, which can be confusing because of the Tea2 Architecture office. If you go to the outdoor seating in alleyway, you are not in the right place to be seated. They do get busy, so I would recommend reservations. Overall, I would recommend coming here and giving them a try.

The Harriet Brasserie is a hidden gem. Located in the quaint Linden Hills neighborhood, this restaurant is a perfect place to meet friends for brunch, or go just for a glass of wine. The brunch menu is small, unassuming, but with enough variety that anyone should be able to find something suitable. We particularly enjoyed the daily omelet, and we will be back again very soon!

We stopped at The Harriet Brasserie after taking a stroll around the lake in this lovely neighborhood. It’s a fantastic restaurant with amazing food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I love that it’s located in a historic fire station. The live music on the patio just added to its charm.

One of the best hidden gems in the metro! Excellent food, charming atmosphere, great service and the owners treat you like family. Enjoyed the duck special, salmon (prepared perfectly), don’t miss the duck tacos! Everything on the menu is delicious.

Had our first visit in Sunday for brunch. They noticed our table was sunny and moved us so that we didn’t have to fight with the sun. We had a guest that arrived late so we were waiting to order until she arrived. Waitress got us drinks right away and came back when the last guest arrived. The waitress was slow in taking our order once the last person arrived, we had to keep asking for more water, had to flag someone down to finally order dessert and more water. Never asked if we wanted another drink. And there was only a couple other tables with guests. Food was super good – had the burger with fries and their fries are amazing and I’m not usually a French fry person. Did their chocolate cake and tres lech cake for dessert. Both were good, but their tres leche wasn’t the best I’ve had. Space is really nice, would definitely go back…hopefully service is better the next time. Oh, last thing – $2 for tartar sauce seems a little steep.

Nostalgic posting (used to eat here as a school kid)
Amazing Location for the Store: I love to visit the bookstore right after I’m done eating and go exploring inside their ever-changing interior.
Menu size is only a page front and back, but because of that middle-small menu. The chefs can really hone their craft and make some delicious plates of food. (I only go there for brunch)
My favorite thing to order at the restaurant is their Duck Taco. I always order two/three and the tres leches cake. But be warned, the leches cake is a 50/50 on quality.
I always order the Soup, I’ve only had one “unlikable” soup. Usually, the soup is extremely well-made and tasty. If I don’t order a tres-leches, I would get some pancakes.
Good:
Tasty!
Fun watching the chefs cook.
Good western soup.
Nothing that bad on the menu.
Bad:
The 50/50 Tres Leches Cake. Good or Evil.
Drinks are “ok”
Where you can sit. Usually, it ended up at a good spot or the bar.
Overall:
I love the interior and surrounding neighborhood.
Food is delicious, and desserts are evil or good.
9.2/10 (+0.2 for nostalgia)

Loud. I was almost shouting at one point to talk to my friend across the table. Food is good and ambiance is nice. Plating is pretty. Price is on the higher end. The firehouse vibe is cool. Interior design is classy. Parking is impossible to find.
If not for the specials, I probably would not come back. Everything else on the menu is the standard run of the mill type items.
