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.

    Was in town for the Nebraska football game and looking for a place for dinner after the game to allow traffic to settle down before heading for home. Had been here a few times several years back when in Lincoln and decided to return this time. Reservation was easy using the app. Selected the time we wanted for after the game without a problem. Quaint spot just south of downtown. Menu was still varied, with many options and daily specials. Ellie was our server and she was great. Personable, informative, and very friendly. I had the lobter bisque and my wife had a garden salad. Both were tasty. She ordered the seafood platter with salmon, crab cake and trout, served with risotto and asparagus. I had the crab crusted salmon with risotto, spinach and zucchini. Both meals were delicious with large portions. Desserts looked great but, no room after the entrees. Happy hour every day with drink and appetizer specials. We highly recommend this spot for date night, getting together with friends or for just a fun place to go. Thanks to Green Gateau for another good experience and a great meal.

    Always a good meal at Green Gateau. Interesting, eclectic menu and drinks. Our server Jada was very friendly and efficient. Recommend the brussels sprouts appetizer. Everyone in my party had something different for their meal and all reported that it was great!

    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
