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.

    Green Gateau is a gem. I love the ambiance, the food is terrific and ambiance can’t be beat. It can get very crowded at times so important to set a reservation. But it’s worth it.

    We came in from out of town and had dinner with a friend. Even though the restaurant was full. The service was prompt. The macaroni and cheese was delicious. The crème brûlée ended the meal with a bang!

    When we entered, the host appeared younger and had a micromanaging manager hovering over her shoulder. She was grasping the concept, but not quickly enough for him. We’ve had both intriguing and concerning experiences during our visits to this establishment. The previous time, the server was visibly nervous when greeting our table because her manager was closely monitoring her, presumably to ensure upselling. Regrettably, unless this situation improves, I’m uncertain about my future visits.

    First time here and I'm bothered by the fact that it took me so long to get here!! One of the best meals I've ever had in Lincoln! Everything from the host to the drinks to the food to the dessert presentation was *chefs kiss* Thank you, Green Gateau, for the wonderful experience. See you soon!

    Our service was great, the menu varied, the ambiance was lovely and the food was tasty and as ordered. We ordered a side salad that looked to be several days old; we should have insisted on another one. I looked around at other similar salads as we left the restaurant and saw that they were fresher by far. If we return, we'll either not order this item or insist on one that is fresh.
