Citysearch Editorial Review – Light fixtures hang down like glowing stalactites at this warm and cozy Southwest Minneapolis restaurant, named after Maude Armatage, also the neighborhood’s namesake. Booths wrapped in rich reds and sunset-colored fabrics add extra warmth to the small dining area, which is anchored by dark wood and buoyed by artful fixtures and exposed brick. A bar hosts wine lovers and fans of Maude’s unique bistro small plates, like sautéed duck breast and grilled flatbreads. The vibe is relaxed and simple, b... read more

Great food, great music – I've been to maude quite a few times and I always have such a wonderful time. I love coming here and getting the cheese plate and a bottle of wine with my girlfriend. Many romantic and memorable moments here. Props on the music.

I would definitely say give it a shot – This was a cool little restaurant. I really dug the atmosphere and the menu was inventive and fresh. The hanger steak was good and the burger was really tasty as well. The service was quick and to the point. Which is good by me. I don't like to be doted over. It's nice to get what you want and enjoy your company rather than your wait staff.

Give It A Try – I am never compelled to publish reviews, but after reading the other reviews for Cafe Maude, I feel it necessary to stand up for my new favorite restaurant. After losing our neighborhood favorite, Pane Vino Dolce, my husband and I were a bit at a loss for that great place to which we could walk on a Tuesday or Saturday or whichever night and get a gourmet meal at a relatively reasonable price. Finally we have found it at Cafe Maude! Neither of us has ever been disappointed in any of our choices from the menu,... read more

Skip it – I don?t like reviewing restaurants when they first open because everyone is on their best behavior. Cafe Maude is a perfect example. IF you have money to throw to the wind, a hankering for salt, and you?re on a diet, Cafe Maude is for you. Their food represents a whole new level of minimalism ? even the bread was minimalist. Let?s begin: $12, 3 slices of tuna not much larger or thicker than a quarter on what seemed to be melba toast: Ok, so we thought maybe this is a starter?..so we moved to the salad that we heard... read more

Only 3 reviews? Very fishy. – For the price and pretense, the food should be much better. Truth is, this isn't a restaurant as much as it is a den of douche-ery. The d-bags are everywhere in this place. It's where the edina and south minneapolis rub on tan set go to drink martinis while listening to 1) A too loud swing band or 2) Another cliche American Apparel-clad DJ dorking out with a laptop and probably wondering where he left his razor. Seriously, either be a restaurant or be a nightclub. Better yet, just admit that you... read more

Yum!! – I had a great experience at Cafe Maude! I went for a late dinner on a recent Sunday night and was very impressed. The cute and cozy atmosphere and eclectic menu make this spot perfect for almost any occasion. The menu presents lots of options and is a type of 'new takes on classics/comfort food'. I loved everything I tasted and the presentation and portions were thoughtful. I'm still craving thier beef carpaccio!! You have to check out their super creative cocktails and beverages! Their apple martini is garnished wit... read more

A Nice Neighborhood location – The rare and unusual magazine selection that greets you before you enter the cafe is interesting, and after eating the reason is obvious. Reviewers on Maude's website promised fresh smells, we didn't smell any good or bad. The Roasted Butternut Squash soup arrived in a large scooped dish with very little soup, a totally bland flavor, and pricey. The Settergren which is 2 eggs, potatoes, bacon and toast (no jams or jelly) was also bland, a bit over-cooked, and so little it left you hungry. An or... read more
