Is Brasa Premium Rotisserie Still Open? Food Paradise Update

Food Paradise, Season 17, Episode 12

Brasa Premium Rotisserie is a fast-casual restaurant in Northeast Minneapolis built around wood-fired rotisserie chicken served alongside Creole- and Latin-influenced sides such as red beans and rice and collard greens. The location operates as Brasa Premium Rotisserie- Northeast Minneapolis at 600 E Hennepin Ave and is part of a small multi-location Twin Cities group with its own catering arm. According to the restaurant's website (brasa.us), checked 2026-09-08, the business currently offers online ordering, gift cards, and a catering menu, and markets itself under the tagline 'American Creole Cooking.'

The site's navigation highlights separate pages for menu, catering, multiple locations, and gift-card sales, reflecting a small restaurant group rather than a single storefront. A Google Places listing checked 2026-09-08 lists the business as operational. The restaurant continues to promote rotisserie chicken as its signature dish across its Twin Cities locations.
