Ready to find a new place to eat? Somewhere not too expensive but still has really great food? Well, here are my top places to eat in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

1. Christos

Christos offers dishes from all of Greece, and specialties from the island of Cyprus. The traditional dishes are balanced with contemporary items that have been adapted. Their wide array of appetizers and platters make it easy for guests to dine family-style. Christos is very affordable and amazingly delicious.

2. Green Spoon

Green Spoon has dishes that are Korean, plus American standards. The cafe seems sleek and modern. Fill up your stone bowl, tell the server what meat you want, go get some sushi, and get either kimchi or dumplings as an appetizer. Sit down and wait for your bowl to come back with a perfectly cracked egg on it. They have so many options and sauces, it is so fun to go and experiment. Green Spoon is very affordable that offers good food.

3. Cossetta's

Cossetta's offers a modern Italian cuisine, plus a rooftop "taverna" for drinks. With more than enough seating, amazing food, and highly affordable prices, this is one of my favorite places to eat. You can get all different types of pasta, pizza, and salads . . . well that's what I normally get.

4. Moscow On The Hill

Moscow On The Hill offers a variety of warm Russian comfort foods, with both meat and vegetarian dishes. They get their produce locally, from the Minneapolis Farmer's Market and get the meat from "Wild Acres Farm" and other local farmers. Most of the things on the menu are under $10, however it does have its exceptions. I like the Blini with chicken (which is two crepes, braised chicken and a side of sour cream).

371 Selby Ave. St Paul, MN 55102

5. Shamrocks

Shamrocks is an Irish hangout for "pub grub." They have great pizza, burgers, and hand-cut fries. They also have TVs and frequent live music. Unfortunately, this isn't the least expensive of the ones on this list. However, it does have some of the best burgers.

995 7th St W. St Paul, MN 55102

Of course these aren't the only good spots. I wanted to give this more food diversity because it is important to have a good selection.
