Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Sam Gilman

From the OpenTable editors: Starring white tablecloths, crystal chandeliers, and tall windows with Loring Park views, Cafe Lurcat from the prolific D’Amico restaurant family has been an ultra-glam Minneapolis destination for decades. The throwback menu keeps it classic with shredded apple salads, miso sea bass, wagyu steaks, perfect fries, and crisp cocktails. Eating in the lush front or back patios is the go-to move in warmer months.

                                                We had a great experience on Valentine’s Day. From the moment we walked in until we left we were treated with great service. Our server Melia was very knowledgeable and helpful in the choices we made. She provided very personable service. Our food was very delicious. We both had the lamb shank. They provided us with a very nice knife for cutting our meat. This was not needed because the meat literally fell off the bone as soon as you touched it.

                                                A quiet Tuesday night supper for two. Good food interestingly prepared and plated. Knowledgeable server. Linen tablecloth a nice touch.

                                                Went on a special night out with my son… the sea bass is his absolute favorite (mine too). Lurcat is so special and always fantastic. Love it! :)

                                                Absolutely loved our experience! This was our first visit. Why? We have missed many years of opportunity. The ambience was beautiful, food spectacular, drinks and wine selection perfect, and service exceptional. Thank you Cafe Lurcat and special kudos to our waiter who made this evening so wonderful for the 4 of us.
