    Owamni: Minneapolis' Indigenous Table on the Riverfront

    Sean Sherman's decolonized menu is still the most important meal in the Twin Cities

    A few years in and **Owamni** hasn't lost an ounce of purpose. Sean Sherman's riverfront dining room continues to serve a menu built entirely from pre-colonial Indigenous ingredients — no wheat, no dairy, no cane sugar, no beef, no chicken — and the result is one of the most distinctive tables in America. Come at golden hour and grab a seat overlooking St. Anthony Falls. The bison tartare, the blue-corn masa cakes, and the cedar-braised turkey are all reasons to keep coming back. This is Minneapolis at its most confident and most rooted. **Order:** bison tartare, cedar-braised game, and the tepache cocktail.
