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.

This is the fourth time I have been to Cafe Lurcat and it seems like the quality of the dining experience goes down each time. We were there for Easter Sunday brunch - the food was okay and the service was very good - but, $50 a person for the experience? No. Never again for the brunch. It just wasn't *that* good.

The Easter brunch was great. There was some confusion about the number of people in our party, but they quickly resolved the issue and set a larger table for us without a concern. This is the kind of service we’ve always enjoyed at Cafe Lurcat. Wait staff was great!!

I have been to Lurcat probably more than 50 times. Huge fan and been going there since it opened. I have never been to their brunch and it was spectacular! Amazing selection of food - lamb, roasted chicken, bacon and eggs, french toast and more. It was truly a wonderful meal and in my favorite place to dine. Thank you Lurcat!!!

Wish we were seated in the main dining but realize we were a big party. Our chicken was cold. And I’d say it took us a while to be served our family style meal. But- it was a great experience overall.

Recommendation for brunch is to not have the servers bring EVERYTHING out at the same time. The tables are small and the servers apologized multiple times saying the tables are too small to have all the food arrive at once.

Revised menu from my last visit was disappointing. My bad, I should have reviewed it before booking. Premium prices for less than premium food.
