Zahnen’s Affenkasten

A Grill Room has been unknown to Minneapolis men until Peter Zahnen opened his German Grill Room at 253 Hennepin. You cannot do better than to pay this excellent little cafe a visit. The sea foods are excellent.

If you are tired of the ordinary restaurant, you will do well to try Zahnen’s German Grill at 253 Hennepin Avenue. You can see your dinner cooked before your eyes; there is proof positive of excellence in the eating and the service is deft and quick.

-Peter Zahnen, 1913

At Peter Zahnen’s Cafe, where they have been served in all their excellence for the past 25 years, the epicure can once more satisfy his taste for the magnificent Lynnhaven Bay Oysters.
