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.

    Their beignets are so delicious! I always enjoy their quiche and soups. My husband said his brunch burrito was very good. We were seated near a very loud group of 4 women, once they left the noise level was so much more pleasant. We love dining at this long time local treasure!

    While I usually really enjoy dining at the Green Gateau, today was a disappointing experience. We were seated in the front area to the right and it was uncomfortably chilly there, needed to keep my coat on. After waiting awhile for our waitress, she took our drink orders and left. It took probably 15 minutes before our drinks came, then we waited another 10 minutes for our waitress to come and take our order. When we finally got our food, the gravy on my biscuits was luke warm and my husband's English muffin was burnt. After pointing it out to the waitress they did deduct his meal from out ticket. Love the ambiance there but not the best experience today.

    Venue and service was fantastic! Wine list was fantastic! Crab cakes, salad, Crab topped salmon was delicious. The wagyu tenderloin was chewy because it was cut incorrectly. It also needed seasoned more to balance out the vegetables - or the vegetables needed to be seasoned up a bit, otherwise the plate was overall too bland. Creme brulee and carrot cake was a great finish! We enjoyed our dinner very much and will go back!

    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!
