Café Lurçat

Editor's Choice
$$$ | New American

Café Lurçat is the best combination of upscale trappings, fine service, and accessible food in the Twin Cities. It's a refined, quasi-luxury experience at less-than-luxury prices. Adam King's menu has evolved from Isaac Becker's days, but you can always count on a great hanger steak or pot roast. All the details are faultless in the Cafe, from the crisp and yielding baguettes served with whipped soft butter to the wonderful copper serving vessels to one of the best wine selections in the city, much of it available by the glass. Bar and Cafe Lurçat continue to define what makes eating out so pleasurable.

Located in the historic Fawkes building overlooking Loring Park, Café Lurcat is a stylish 140-seat restaurant with striking views and an inventive a-la-carte menu featuring sophisticated comfort food, a contemporary version of the classic American fish and chophouse.  Chef Adam King reinterprets classics and creates fresh, honest preparations from seasonal, artisanal ingredients.  Continental cooking techniques are evident throughout the menu with featured items such as Smoked Kentucky Ham with Buckwheat Crepe, Brie and Pickled Figs, Pot Roast Braised with Red Wine, and the Sea Bass Marinated with Miso. 

 

In the mood for a casual dinner or late-night bite?  Serious food and voguish design are served up in equal measure at Bar Lurcat.  Bar menu features Lurcat Burgers, award winning French Fries served with Béarnaise dipping sauce, and fresh bite-sized sugar glazed doughnuts.  

 

Café and Bar Lurcat serves dinner 7 nights a week.  There is also a private dining room and seasonal outdoor seating. Reservations are recommended, but walk-in Guests are always warmly welcomed.
