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.

                                                Everything was fantastic. Food, drinks and service was wonderful. I will say it was a very long wait for food. Noticeably long.
