Celebrate the Season with an immersive pop-up dining experience.
November 13, 2026 - January 10, 2027
There is something remarkable about Minnesota in winter. A season that invites us to slow down, gather a little closer, and find beauty in the details. From the quiet of snow-covered landscapes to the warmth of a table shared with good company, winter here is not simply a season to endure, but one to embrace.
This winter, Elliot Park Hotel invites you to experience FORAGED, a seasonal celebration of Minnesota's landscapes, culinary heritage, and the art of gathering. Inspired by the nostalgia of a handwritten postcard, FORAGED captures the character of the season through thoughtful design, distinctive flavors, and experiences rooted in a sense of place. At the heart of the celebration, Tavola becomes an immersive dining destination where Minnesota's natural bounty meets contemporary culinary expression. Seasonal ingredients, locally inspired preparations, and carefully considered pairings tell a story of the region, while the warmth of the surroundings invites guests to settle in and stay awhile.
Beyond the table, a collection of seasonal experiences brings FORAGED to life throughout Elliot Park Hotel. From intimate evenings of music and conversation to thoughtfully curated gifts and memorable holiday gatherings, each experience offers a different perspective on winter in Minneapolis. More than a dining destination, FORAGED is a postcard from Minnesota: a collection of flavors, places, and moments worth remembering long after the season has passed.
Reservations highly recommended.
