On March 20 and 21, the beloved Lake Street destination will celebrate the arrivals of Trio Plant-Based and 7 Spices—two concepts rooted in culture, community, and bold flavor.
Trio Plant-Based brings a powerful story and a loyal following. Founded by Louis Hunter, the restaurant has become a staple for vegan soul food in Minneapolis, serving comforting, plant-based takes on classics like mac and cheese, collard greens, and barbecue jackfruit. Since opening, Trio has stood for more than just food—it’s a space grounded in resilience, healing, and community connection.
The following day, 7 Spices will makes its Midtown debut. Led by Sadiaa Hassan, the Somali restaurant blends tradition and family, with recipes shaped by years of experience and a deep connection to heritage. The opening also coincides with the end of Ramadan, adding a meaningful layer to what’s sure to be a vibrant, community-centered celebration.
