Welcome to Savories European Bistro, a romantic Euro-café located in the heart of the scenic Saint Croix River Valley. You’ll find us on Main Street in historic Stillwater, Minnesota.

Savories Bistro’s full menu of chef-driven offerings has defined the culinary curve for the area since 1991. Our inspiration is local fare combined with global sensibilities. All dishes are prepared from scratch with meticulous attention to detail. Our menus change every four to six weeks, so there’s always something new to discover.

Savories Bistro is owned and operated by husband-and-wife-team Jeff and Kristin Klemetsrud. The pair has spent more than a quarter centery growing this delightful restaurant from a small store-front bakery and coffee café into a full service sophisticated bistro. Inspired by living abroad and intensive culinary training, the duo finds inspiration in the native foods of many different cultures. From this they developed Savories’ own unique style, which boasts a collection of fine wines to go with its “global metropolitan” cuisine.

Breakfast is available only on weekends, but it’s served until 1pm, so even those ‘not-so-early-to-rise’ can enjoy the Fluffy Cornmeal Johnny Cakes with Raspberry Butter & Real Maple Syrup or the Log Cabin French Toast, the Puffy 3-Egg Omelettes (oozing a trio of fillings) or just your favorite newspaper and and a robust triple shot cappuccino.

Lunch features wonderful stuffed sandwiches prepared on home-baked hearth breads.

Sophisticated dinners are created by CIA culinary graduate & chef-owner Jeffrey Klemetsrud, whose repertoire of original dishes changes daily and include selections such as Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Turban in Homemade Puff Pastry with French Apple Cider Cream Sauce or Tapenade Crusted Lamb Rack with Morrocan Honey & Cumin Charred Carrot Gratin.
