About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
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.

    Great food and friendly people at a good price. We enjoyed the crepe dish and beef pot roast entrees. Amazing wine list! The owner spent some time with us on a very busy Friday night. We appreciate that.

    The Green Gateau has been our favorite special date restaurant for many years. The exquisitely prepared and delicious cuisine, the old world ambiance, and the excellent service provide a most enjoyable dining experience. For us, no other restaurant in Lincoln compares.

    This was our first time at Green Gateau. It was just my son, who attends UNL, my husband and I. All three of us were very happy with our food choices and our server was so nice and provided the best service! It’s a cute place. We would definitely go back!
