About

This one-of-a-kind gastropub was named the #4 “Best Restaurant in the Country” by Bon Appétit when it opened a decade plus ago, and while the location has changed (it moved this past February into a stunning three-story space in Robbinsdale), their commitment to a unique experiential twist on fine dining has not. Travail Kitchen and Amusements is the brainchild of Co-Chef/Owners Mike Brown, Bob Gerken, and James Winberg, who were named 2026 James Beard “Outstanding Restaurateur” Semi-Finalists, and they're a strong part of the reason why dining here is an experience unlike any other. Take the ever-changing menu, which features traditional and contemporary culinary techniques, seasonal ingredients, and the whimsy of ideas, continuously evolving in an endless pursuit of the best, freshest, and most delicious ingredients. Signature dishes include pulled mozzarella with truffle, mascarpone, pine nuts, and honey, salmon tartare with french onion whip, seafood boil with shrimp, mussels, crab, sausage, and potatoes, pelmeni (dumplings) with duck and broccolini, and sticky toffee cake.
