While I typically brunch on the weekends, there is nothing like escaping the typical work day during the winter. Since Sunday is my day to plan out my week, it only makes sense to give you a place to escape this weeks grind. District Fresh Kitchen + Bar, located in the beautiful up-and-coming area called The Promenade of Wayzata, is a new favorite of mine. It is brought to you by Anoush Ansari of Hemisphere Restaurants Partners, the restaurateurs who own Mission American and the Tavern Grill Restaurants in Edina, Blaine and Woodbury.

Filled with healthy, organic food created with sustainably sourced ingredients from farms and suppliers within a 300-mile radius, it’s easy to see why District is a hit. And they are in good company, with CōV just around the corner and6Smith down the street. I like to include mimosas in my brunch lineup, and maybe you do too, or you can try any number of their cocktails made from local distilleries. Or just orange juice, or coffee, whatever. I fell head over heels for the open atmosphere and clean lighting but that is least of the reasons for you to visit.
