About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
The Green Gateau is an upper-scale neighborhood restaurant that has been in operation for over 25 years in the heart of downtown Lincoln. We have combined a European atmosphere with American contemporary cuisine to create a casual, yet refined feeling with delicious flavors.

Owners Eric and Cristi are proud to serve their award winning desserts, fresh seafood, and Nebraska Wagyu beef. This is just a fraction of the comprehensive menu that is sure to satisfy. We are also proud to source local and organic produce, dairy, meat, and wine.

The Green Gateau is a consistent winner of Lincoln's Choice 'Best Brunch', and offers brunch from 8-3 on both Saturday and Sunday.

The Green Gateau boasts one of the most comprehensive wine selections in Nebraska, and is annually voted a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence winner.

    This was our first time at Green Gateau. It was just my son, who attends UNL, my husband and I. All three of us were very happy with our food choices and our server was so nice and provided the best service! It’s a cute place. We would definitely go back!

    First time to Green Gateau. It was Easter and it was very busy but it didn't feel like it. It was not too noisy and we were able to talk and didn't feel like the table next to us could hear our conversation and we couldn't hear theirs. The service was outstanding and the food was equally fantastic. It was such a great experience.

    We were seated in a secluded area where it was quiet and we could visit. Our wait person, Payton, was excellent and made us feel welcome. The food was amazing: Brie en croute appetizer, trout and shrimp special was delicious, followed by a new dessert, tiramisu cheesecake which was the best. All in all, a perfect dining experience which I highly recommend.

    The Brussels Sprouts with walnuts and the dipping sauces including an orange marmalade with mustard seed was awesome. Sat on the patio with our dog. The server brought us a dog bowl with water. Street traffic was a little noisy but didn’t bother our guy.

    The food was delicious and hit the spot. I had the steelhead trout and shrimp special, which was fantastic. The service, overall, was good. However, there were some lengthy delays with our second order of croissants and delivery of cocktails that were ordered at the beginning of our service.

    The food was excellent, and the service was good as usual. It is a pleasant place to go, and the food never disappoints. Our server was very polite too.
