Midtown

Trio Plant-Based is the first Black-owned, 100% plant-based soul food restaurant in Minneapolis. Founded by Louis Hunter after six years on West Lake Street, Trio relocated to Midtown Global Market (920 E Lake St) in March 2026 and is now part of the East Court food hall. The menu is rooted in comfort: buffalo mac & cheese, slow-cooked collard greens, jackfruit barbecue ribs, and hearty burgers and wraps, all fully plant-based. This is the kind of soul food that doesn't require compromise; every dish is built to satisfy. Trio has always stood for more than food. It's grounded in resilience, community, and healing, values that Louis Hunter has centered from the start. Midtown Global Market is a vibrant multicultural food hall at the heart of the Lake Street corridor. Trio fits right in: accessible, community-focused, and one of the most meaningful vegan spots in the city. Q: Is Trio Plant-Based 100% vegan? A: Yes. Trio Plant-Based is a fully plant-based restaurant with no animal products on the menu. It is also Minneapolis's first Black-owned 100% vegan restaurant.
