Minneapolis Restaurants Open Christmas Day And Christmas Eve 2022

MINNEAPOLIS — Not everyone in Minneapolis wants to spend hours preparing a Christmas feast, some families are on the road and others with holiday vacations coming up are looking for restaurants open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Most restaurants are closed on Christmas Day, but plenty also stay open for business to serve those who don’t celebrate the holiday or who would rather focus on their family and friends rather than cooking an elaborate, multi-course meal.

These restaurants, ranging from fast-food to fine dining, and coffee shops are open Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, unless otherwise noted. Some restaurants prepare multicourse meals for pickup; others have dine-in options; and others offer food and coffee on the go.

Make sure you call ahead for a reservation and to confirm hours at Minneapolis locations. Some restaurants may offer limited hours.
