About

Debuting in 2024, this Hopkins eatery hopped right onto MplsSt.Paul’s List of “Best Restaurants in the Twin Cities” and Minnesota Monthly’s “Best New Restaurants” List. Chef Michael Shaughnessy brings a refined, globally inspired approach to Pink Ivy, which he co-owns with his wife, Viorica. His culinary journey began in France, where he completed two externships under Master Chef Jean Lu Simon in Bignon. After cooking for Wolfgang Puck in Las Vegas for six years, he then served as opening chef of Young Joni, helping to establish it as one of Minneapolis’s most acclaimed restaurants. His career also includes executive chef roles at some of the area’s most notable destinations, including Bellanotte and Mill Valley Kitchen. At Pink Ivy, his modern American menu includes such fare as chicken-bacon meatballs, pan-roasted barramundi, mussels with lobster butter, and luscious desserts like pineapple-brown butter cake and chocolate mochi cake. “Pink Ivy has carved out a space in a quickly growing restaurant scene using fresh ingredients, interesting flavor combinations, and a friendly vibe,” lauds Minnesota Monthly, all of which sounds great to our ears.
