Nolabelle Kitchen + Bar

Our experience at Nollabelle was absolutely incredible! Alexis and staff went out of their way to accommodate our large group who wanted to celebrate a special occasion with a nice brunch! The food, ambiance and care that we received exceeded all of our expectations! We had food allergy accommodations that were needed and they took great care to make our food safely. Thank you so much for making our celebration special!

Lovely place in the old town of Mankato. Glad to make the reservation as it seems to be a busy night here.


First time being here and this place feels very young and modern. We are visiting Mankato for the first time and chose this restaurant due to its menu. There is a nice selection of burgers, sandwiches, and main courses. We ordered several main dishes and they were all quite delish. Out of all we ordered, I personally rank the following

#1 Chicken Leg - I like the spiciness in the sauce. Wish it was a bit more kick for me since I like spices. It also came with broccolini which is my fav.

#2 Porkchop - I was surprised that it comes with rice. The pork chop came a little dry for me but I still like it overall. I wish there was more sauce so the rice could be more flavorful.

#3 Walleye - this one was okay, I think the flavor is more plain.

The charcuterie board is very yummy. All items on the dish are well balanced.

The truffle chips are amazing. Sizable portion tho.

If you're looking for a slightly upscale restaurant in Mankato, it's an excellent choice. I've eaten both lunch and dinner here and the food was excellent as were the cocktails.

I absolutely loved the shishito pepper appetizer. The buttered walleye was good, though almost too rich.

My biggest disappointment was there are few vegetarian and at the time no vegan options for main course

Found this place on our way to Minneopa state park in Mankato. Located probably about 10 mins from the park. It's next to a few other restaurant and stores (downtown Mankato area). Street parking but there is plenty especially on a Saturday. They do have patio available but we opted for high top.

Brussels sprouts- sauté with bacon and it was actually very tasty. One of the recommended high seller appetizers and it was great.

Burnt pork tip- not a dish I was interested in. If you like pork belly this may be the dish for you... maybe

We got sandwiches I think peach + bacon and the cubano. Decided to get the fries and salad upgrade. Fries was crispy and good. Salad was so good! Loved it. I wouldn't mind getting a full salad order next time and maybe add chicken.

Service was great and good came out pretty fast. We came during off lunch hour so it wasn't busy.

Do we live in Mankato, no. But driving to brunch will always be a thing in this household. We drove out to Mankato to check out this brunch spot that has been getting rave reviews and I am so glad we stopped in. With an intimate setting with clean lines and an open kitchen plan, the food really just set the experience to a five out of five.
I got their lemon, ricotta pancakes, and they were to die for. They were fluffy with a hint of acidity from the lemon and just melted in your mouth. Also got a side of their house sausage, which I totally recommend. You can definitely tell that they make those sausages to order. We also indulged in their mimosa flight, and it was really fun to try different combinations of the traditional mimosa in new and interesting ways.

Stopped by while driving through, can't recommend the spaghetti enough! Simply amazing! Enjoyed the outdoor seating and friendly staff!

We frequent Nolabelle and have a good experience time and time again. The servers are attentive and helpful with any questions on the menu. I loved the lighting and Christmas decorations, it made our time there so festive. I had the lamb pita sandwich, it wasn't my favorite thing I have gotten but I enjoyed it for something different. I haven't had a soup there that I haven't enjoyed. They have a daily special.
I had a Wisedog cocktail that I thoroughly enjoyed. We will continue to enjoy going to Nolabelle.

We love this place! Excellent ambiance in the downtown district. Great food options on the menu. The house-special Old Fashioned is a must-order. The best appetizer on the menu hands-down is the Burrata Caprese. The service is spot on and energetic. The ability to make reservations ahead of time allows for a spot guaranteed in a space that is sometimes hard to find a table on busy nights.

Date night at Nolabelle
Overall this was a fabulous evening out
This was nolabelle's soft opening, so we did
not expect perfection as this is their time to
figure things out and get the kinks worked out.
For an appetizer Michael had the pretzel
covered goat cheese balls and I had the
blueberry chicken tacos.
These were both good. What would have made
them amazing was a little more seasoning. lf
salt and pepper would have been on the table
both apps would have been dynamite,
Next I had the arugula & apple salad and
Michael had the tomato bisque with a grilled
cheese dipper
My salad was really good. Sadly the grilled
cheese was cold, the cheese was no longer
melty and the soup was luke warm. It tasted
good but I am sure they would have been better
if they had been warm.
Lastly for an entree Michael had the shrimp
and grits and i had the pork schnitzel.
The shrimp and grits were seasoned to
perfection! The grits were the best I have ever
had. The salad and the fries with cheese sauce
vith my entree we very good. Fries were crispy
and the salad was bright and fresh. The pork
cutlet was over cooked, so it was a little tough.
Honestly, one of the best meals we have had in
mankato and I hope this place makes it.
The drinks were good and a decent price. The
wait staff was very friendly and very apologetic
for the slowness in the dining area.

My favorite restaurant in the Mankato Metro. I love the ambiance in the restaurant and the service is always great. The food is out of this world. Love coming back.
