  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
Café and Bar Lurcat, located next to Loring Park, is a hip, urban venue that boasts serious food and voguish design. Café Lurcat is a perfect blend of classic old world style with a Noveau twist. The expansive bar and lounge is ideal for casual cocktails and a la carte bites, while the romantic dining room creates the perfect ambiance for an exceptional foodie experience featuring sophisticated comfort food. We offer the perfect event venue for family celebrations, trendy parties, marriages, Bar Mitzvahs, showers, charity events, galas, graduations and black tie events. This iconic Minneapolis restaurant continues to age like a fine wine as it approaches its 20th year.

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.

    Very delicious! Food was superb. Had the filet mignon, Seabass, mussels and tuna tar tar. Staff was excellent and attentive. Noise level was good. Music not blaring so one could converse well. I’m sad they are closing
