Estelle is an European restaurant in the Macalaster-Groveland neighborhood of St Paul.
“I had a wonderful time dining at Estelle. We let them know ahead of time that we were celebrating birthdays. They generously gave us complimentary champagne for the group. Everything that we ate was divine and very much worth the money. For appetizers (Tapas) we tried the Patatas Bravas, the Shrimp Al Ajillo, and the Pica Pau. Each dish had excellent sauce and was prepared well. The entrees that I was able to try were the Radiatore and Soles de Pollo. The Radiatore was excellent and was very filling, so I recommend a box. Additionally, we tried the honey cake dessert, and at the end of the meal, you receive a small churro per person for free.”
“Solid spot. The salad was okay and the pasta was decent, but the chicken entree was the standout (really good). Dessert was good too. Service is what won me over. They were super quick with water refills, which is honestly my litmus test for how dialed-in a restaurant is. They even called me back when a table opened up earlier than expected, which I really appreciated. Only knock is the location. The patio sits in the back lot, but they dressed it up nicely so it still felt comfortable. Would come back.”
“The most unique flavors that I have had in awhile. The ambience was just right as it was quiet enough to talk, yet loud enough to be not heard by your neighbors. Wait staff was extremely attentive and very knowledgeable about the various dishes. The chicken was by far my favorite! The special espresso martini (Carajillo) was so creamy.”
“Incredible experience at Estelle last night. From the staff to the food, everything was top notch. I started with the old fashioned which was delicious and then our group of 5 ordered a bunch of stuff to share. Everything was good, but my favorites were the Patatas Bravas, the Rissoles, the Rigatoni, and the Roasted Polenta Bolognese. The staff was very attentive and the price tag at the end wasn’t too bad, especially for the quality of the meal.”
“Dinner at Estelle. The food was beautifully presented — proof that people really do eat with their eyes first. The overall vibe felt cozy and homey, and most of the dishes were excellent. The chicken ravioli looked like a watercolor painting on a plate. Absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite my favorite flavor-wise, though my husband loved it and thought it was one of the best dishes of the night. The desserts were great.”
