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.

    Food was amazing, exceptional service with very helpful recommendations and suggestions. Very quiet to enjoy a good conversation. Crab cakes were delicious, lobster bisque and French onion soup were a hit.

    Green Gateau is our favorite place for brunch, the food is delicious and staff are friendly and make great recommendations. I recommend reservations-especially on the weekends. Some of our brunch favorites include: appetizers-the baked brie, brunch entrees eggs benedict (traditional, crab cakes or shrimp) or the pasta gorgonzola. The dessert tray is sumptuous-the Green Gateau cake, basque cheesecake or apricot dessert are just some of our favorites

    We had a lovely evening with family members, catching up on the post-election experience, a new job, forthcoming holidays. Our server Alexia was helpful and attentive, and took a nice photo of us. Everyone loved their food and drinks.

    I simply love this place. I was able to conduct a business meeting, while having a wonderful lunch. I appreciate the work that Kurt and his team do to deliver a consistent experience every time I’m there. I was truly delighted by the interactions with Molly. Fantastic ambassador of great customer service!

    Third time here over the past year- visiting to watch the Cornhuskers play! First visit- amazing food and service. Second visit- amazing food and terrible service. For the third visit today I requested a specific server in the OpenTable request area (one suggested on OpenTable) so as to miss Mr Grumpy/poor service fellow. So, when I was called to my seat I was taken to the very poor server (oh no!) that I had had before without reference at all to my request. I asked the gentleman seating me if I could be seated elsewhere and the reason why- he seemed miffed but did get me to a different server. This server seemed to really care but just did not do a very good job- forgot our beignet (yum yum BTW) in the beginning, forgot waters, forgot to bring forks for the dessert (the beignet…..which was ordered with our drinks as an appetizer…) A few other issues. Will I eat there again? Yes, the food is that good. I do believe they need some instruction on attentive service and this place would be the bomb!

    Had a 10am Sunday reservation, had to wait 45 minutes to be seated. Everything else was very good except excessive noise level.

    This is a nice restaurant to take the family to after a game. The food was good but nothing special. Our waiter was a bit inexperienced and he fumbled his way through dinner. Might be a better lunch place.
