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.

    The lamb was so tough that it was inedible. Spouse sent it back, and the chef agreed with him & brought him a different entree. That ruined the evening for us-- we won't be back.

    We have come here a few times a year and keep returning because the food, drinks and service is consistently top notch. It’s hard to find a restaurant that does both fish and beef well, but that’s always the case here. My sea bass and my dining partner’s filet were excellent. We love the ginger fried rice and apple and chive salad. When you order oysters here, they are always freshly-shucked, and you can tell. The servers are knowledgeable when it comes to food, wine and cocktail recommendations. And the ambience is elegant without being stuffy.

    We booked a large table at the last minute for a big birthday party, and they were very accommodating. Even when more people showed up than expected. The Lurcat team is always a class act!

    Mini-burgers were tasty but overcooked and fries were lukewarm. Otherwise, dessert was excellent!

    Went for a Mother’s Day brunch. Overall it was great. The building is so beautiful with views of Lorin Park. The service was lovely. The food was just okay, but it was a nice variety and worked well for the occasion.
