Northeast Minneapolis Hmong American, Diane Moua

Diane’s Place

Pastry chef Diane Moua’s first solo restaurant, in the Food Building in Northeast, where her Hmong American cooking finally takes the lead instead of dessert. The all-day kitchen runs from breakfast through dinner, and the pastry program is, predictably, extraordinary. Food & Wine named it 2025 Restaurant of the Year, and Moua is a perennial James Beard name. Worth the table.
