Golden Valley, Minnesota, has recently welcomed several exciting additions to its dining landscape, offering residents and visitors a variety of culinary experiences.
Kitchen and Rail: A New Culinary Destination
In February 2026, Kitchen and Rail opened its second location in the former Mort’s Deli space at the Golden Valley Shopping Center. This locally owned restaurant brings its full menu to the west metro, featuring signature dishes like the Famous Filet Mignon Sandwich and Nana’s Meatballs. Additionally, the Golden Valley location introduces weekday lunch service and a private event space, catering to both casual diners and special occasions. In homage to the building’s history, Kitchen and Rail offers “The MORT,” a New York–style pastrami sandwich that pays tribute to Mort’s Deli.
Food Trucks Adding Flavor to the Streets
Golden Valley’s food truck scene continues to thrive, with JM Bistro serving Asian cuisine and refreshing drinks. This local favorite offers a diverse menu that appeals to a wide range of tastes. Another notable mention is Tacos Los 4 Carnales MN Balmaceda LLC, known for its authentic Mexican fare, including generously portioned tacos and flavorful burritos. Often parked at 6800 Wayzata Blvd, this food truck has garnered praise for its high-quality ingredients and friendly service.
Established Favorites Continue to Delight
Long-standing establishments like D’Amico & Sons remain integral to Golden Valley’s dining scene. Located at 7804 Olson Memorial Highway, D’Amico & Sons offers a variety of made-to-order pasta, wood-fired pizzas, and gourmet salads in a casual neighborhood café setting. Their commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients ensures a delightful dining experience for all patrons.
As Golden Valley’s culinary landscape evolves, both new ventures and established favorites contribute to a vibrant and diverse food scene, offering something for every palate.
