Savouré Vietnamese Eatery Expands in Downtown Minneapolis
A well-known skyway lunch spot in downtown Minneapolis is growing fast. Savouré Vietnamese Eatery is opening a second location inside the 330 South Second Street food hall, adding more kitchen space and expanding its reach across the downtown core.
This move reflects a larger trend happening across the Twin Cities, where restaurants are adapting to new demand patterns, especially in catering and flexible dining options.
Why Savouré Is Expanding
Savouré’s growth is being driven largely by catering. In just one year, catering has gone from about 5% of revenue to as much as 30% to 40%.
That kind of shift forces operational changes. The original Six Quebec skyway location simply doesn’t have the capacity to handle both in-person traffic and high-volume catering orders.
The second location solves that problem by adding a dedicated kitchen to support both sides of the business.
What’s Coming to the New Location
The new food hall space at 330 South Second Street puts Savouré alongside other quick-service restaurants in a growing downtown hub.
Menu updates will include:
- Egg rolls
- Expanded Vietnamese coffee and tea drinks
- Core items like pho, banh mi, and noodle bowls
One unique element is the influence of Grandma Lan, the restaurant’s head chef. She continues to prepare recipes daily while adjusting flavors slightly to match local preferences, making the food approachable for a wide range of customers.
What This Means for Downtown Minneapolis
This expansion is another positive signal for downtown Minneapolis.
More food options in the skyway and nearby food halls help:
- Bring workers back into the office
- Increase foot traffic during lunch hours
- Support continued small business growth
It also shows that catering is becoming a major revenue driver for restaurants across the Twin Cities, especially in areas like Minneapolis, Edina, and St. Paul where businesses are returning to in-person work.
Final Take for Locals
If you work downtown, expect shorter lines and more variety soon. If you’re planning office lunches or events, Savouré is positioning itself as a go-to catering option.
Curious how this kind of growth impacts nearby housing demand and walkability? That’s where local insight matters. Reach out anytime if you’re thinking about buying or selling in Minneapolis or the east metro.
