About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    We had a wonderful breakfast. What made our experience so enjoyable was the excellent customer service provided by our server, Jada. Jada was very attentive, she paid attention to every detail of our orders and special requests. She made sure all our needs were met and took such good care of us, her hospitality was exceptional. The food was delicious, compliments to the Chef. The ambiance is relaxing is very pleasant. The noise level does increase tremendously as the room(s) start to fill with people. Overall our experience was very good, we plan on returning. It was easy to make the reservations through Open Table & revisions to our reservation as needed. Thank you.

    Our servers were great! My complaint is this was the first time in13 years of using Open Table that when we arrived we were told they did not have to table for us and we needed to wait? I asked why they would accept our reservation and not save us a table. We like their food but not real happy with the host and her response!

    One of Lincoln's best places to eat. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had Eliot as our server and he was so good and pleasant to have him work our table. Everyone there is very courteous and willing to help. And, of course, Kirk is a great host. Highly recommended for good food and atmosphere.

    What a gem! The food was fantastic, the service was spectacular and did I mention, the food was fantastic? We had (and loved) the truffle fries, roasted brussels sprouts, Wagyu sliders and beignets. And a few cocktails. We left full and happy! I would highly recommend the Green Gateau l definitely go again!

    The trout special was good. For a quality restaurant like Green Gateau I expected a better house Chardonnay.

    We had a reservation however, the two ladies ahead of us did not, they were given a table that we were also led to which was a much better and spacious table than the one we were stuffed into in another room due to some mix up. The room was noisy and was filled to the gill with people. Very disappointing to be stuffed into this tiny little corner of this room. No silverware at the table, after we received our entrees, we had to ask for our silverware. The entree I ordered was disappointing as well. The Hash entree with sirloin tips was over cooked and the sauce was too spicy. I would never recommend this entree to anyone. I had to ask for a refill on my coffee. Our server was a very sweet and friendly person but needed to be more attentive than he was. It’s been years since I last visited Green Gateau. Past visits were very good. However, this visit after so many years was a great disappointment.
