Whenever we dine at La Fougasse at Sofitel Minneapolis, we always find ourselves thinking that it doesn’t feel like an ordinary hotel restaurant. No matter what the occasion, the place has an inviting vibe — definitely not the dreary atmosphere that often pervades hotel dining rooms that cater to out-of-towners.
