What a pleasant surprise to see French Meadow in the airport. I travel a lot and, as a vegan, I've never been well-accommodated at airports; but thanks to Minneapolis' progressive attitude, I can get vegan cookies, muffins, and hot, fresh, organic cooked dishes before catching a flight. They also feature a bar. My vegan burger was tasty and fresh, as was my side dish of Minnesota wild rice. Service was slow if you sit in the dining area, but otherwise you can do self-service and it's a bit faster. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the freshness, selection and unusual items offered.
This is my favorite airport restaurant! I can't think of any other place in any airport that has as many vegan options. Some of my favorites include: tempeh ruben sandwich, chili, raspberry bars, and vegan cupcakes! Lots of other options available. They are also very quiet (you can't hear any of the annoying announcements -- a big plus!) and they have plugs under every chair -- also a big plus since I always need to recharge my computer. I should say that I always sit in the more casual section (on the left as you go in).
