Owamni, the acclaimed Indigenous eatery, announced yesterday that it plans to move next spring into the Guthrie Theater.
What we're watching: Owamni's departure creates an opening in Water Works Pavilion, a prime riverfront spot operated by the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board with a patio overlooking the restaurant's namesake waterfall.
Parks Superintendent Al Bangoura tells the Star Tribune he hopes to find a new restaurant to open there in summer 2026 — so we thought we'd help him look.
Weigh in: What sort of restaurant would you like to see in that space? Another high-end eatery, or… something else?
