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.

    Really nice place with good food and service. My only issue is the seating. It’s very tight. Our table was pretty wedged next to a wall. A bit too cozy.

    I had a fantastic date night last night at the Green Gateau. The food was fantastic and the whole experience was lovely. I highly recommend here for a romantic date night or an intimate family dinner.

    We were welcomed with a smile, seated promptly, waited on immediately by a great waitress, and served superb meals . This is simply a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely return! Thanks to everyone who helped make this experience so special.

    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.
