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.

    Excellent place to meet friends for lunch. Food was exceptional and service was outstanding from beginning to end. Look forward to visiting the Green Gateau again the next time I’m visiting the Lincoln NE area.

    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!

    First time to Green Gateau. It was Easter and it was very busy but it didn't feel like it. It was not too noisy and we were able to talk and didn't feel like the table next to us could hear our conversation and we couldn't hear theirs. The service was outstanding and the food was equally fantastic. It was such a great experience.

    This is our first time at the restaurant as we have enjoyed many catered meals. We booked before church on Easter. Highly recommend, service was excellent, our orders came out quick. Our orders had a nice presentation and were fresh and hot. Will definitely return. Can’t say enough excellent comments!
