Photoed here on a date day with my daughter — this was a fun one for me as a dad. She’s heard my wife and I talk about Baldamar so many times that she was excited to finally experience it for herself. And honestly, that’s the best part of parenthood… sharing places you love with your kids and watching them light up.
If you’ve spent any time in the northern suburbs, you already know Baldamar is one of the best restaurants around. The food is incredible, the service is always on point, and the ambiance stays unmatched. It’s upscale but comfortable, modern but warm, and truly one of the most unique dining experiences in the area. The setting alone sets it apart.
For anyone who loves great dining close to home, the neighborhoods around Baldamar offer some amazing lake communities. Living near Roseville, Little Canada, or the Rosedale district puts you minutes away from Lake Owasso, Lake Gervais, Turtle Lake, and McCarrons Lake — some of the best lifestyle lakes in the northern suburbs. These pockets give you everything: recreation, convenience, privacy, and quick access to both Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Head slightly north and you enter North Oaks, which holds some of the strongest luxury pockets in all of Minnesota. Larger lots, private trails, preserved land, and access to Pleasant Lake make it a top-tier area for high-end homes.
And while Baldamar leads the pack, the northern suburbs definitely have other strong restaurants for a great steak or date night. PorterHouse in Little Canada, Tria in North Oaks, and Aqua in White Bear Lake are all excellent. Each offers something different — menu style, atmosphere, or lake views — but Baldamar’s ambiance and setting truly set it apart.
If you’re exploring homes near Roseville, Little Canada, North Oaks, White Bear, or any of these lake communities — Lake Owasso, Gervais, Turtle, or McCarrons — I’d be happy to help you find a spot that matches the lifestyle you want. Living near great food, great lakes, and great community is a tough combination to beat.
