It’s summertime in Minnesota, and patio season is in full force. It’s the time of year to dine outdoors as you enjoy our state’s short season of sunshine and warm weather. There are many excellent outdoor restaurants to visit in Minnesota, from riverfront spots to dockside eateries. You’ll never run out of new places to try. Today, we want to add yet another spot to your outdoor dining bucket list. In St. Paul, Minnesota, W.A. Frost is a longstanding restaurant with one of the most magical patios in Minnesota. Stop in to sample amazing food as you dine in beautiful, lush surroundings. Here’s what you need to know:
W.A. Frost and Company is a beautiful St. Paul restaurant housed in a historic building constructed in the 1800s. The restaurant opened in 1977, and it's been a popular place to dine ever since.
Inside this historic building, you'll find dining areas that look like they're from another time. They are full of antique charm, and you'll definitely want to make plans to eat inside when you can.
Thanks to the historic surroundings, lush plants, and cozy, umbrella-covered tables, the W.A. Frost patio is one of the best in the Twin Cities—and maybe even all of Minnesota.
If you're craving something a bit more substantial, you can't go wrong with a classic burger. Top it with cheese and bacon, and enjoy it alongside a pile of fries. Yum!
For something a bit more fancy, try a New York strip steak, grilled salmon, or baked chicken. Each choice is perfectly cooked to your liking, deliciously flavorful, and accompanied by tasty sides.
