About
Opened in May of 2023, this unusual eatery in St. Paul’s South St. Anthony Park neighborhood has appeared on such Lists as Eater’s “Best in Twin Cities,” Resy’s “Hit List,” and Minnesota Monthly’s “Best New Restaurants.” Herbst is the brainchild of Jörg and Angie Pierach, inspired by a farmstand they love near their hobby farm in the Driftless area. Accordingly, Herbst looks to The Wisconsin Growers Cooperative, made up of nearly 36 small family farms in Western Wisconsin, for much of their produce, all of which then falls into the deft hands of Executive Chef Ben Moenster. A native of Denmark, he was formerly Chef de Cuisine at both Spoon & Stable and Parlor/Borough. His signature dishes at Herbst include duck breast with ground cherry and kale, fried chicken with pistachio and brown butter, saffron risotto with braised beef, grilled beets with tahini yogurt and preserved lemon, and luscious desserts like bread pudding with vanilla ice cream, brandy caramel, and smoked cheddar and preserved lemon semifreddo.
