Gai Noi

Gai Noi is a celebrated Laotian restaurant from acclaimed chef Ann Ahmed, occupying a prime multi-level venue in the Loring Park neighborhood of Minneapolis at 1610 Harmon Place, featuring one of the finest rooftop patios in the city. The rooftop terrace provides a breezy, inviting setting for enjoying well-researched Southeast Asian dishes inspired by Ahmed's Laotian heritage and her extensive travels, including Luang Prabang-style papaya salad, laab, banana leaf-wrapped fish, and creamy panang spaghetti. The creative cocktail program, developed by local bar luminaries, features inspired drinks such as a Lao Hai Mai Tai, Star Fruit Margarita, and Lemongrass Gimlet. With walk-in seating and a warm, convivial atmosphere, Gai Noi delivers an authentic and memorable dining experience above the streets of Minneapolis.
