New American eatery with refined comfort fare & park views
"A posh, fine-dining American restaurant next to Loring Park that has been a gathering place for celebratory dinners for the past 23 years and a magnet for celebrities, including Prince, Mick Jagger, and Lady Gaga; the curtains will fall after service on September 5." - Jeffy Mai
"This hip venue dishes out some seriously delicious food in a unique atmosphere. Located right on the corner of Loring Park, you can enjoy views of the park and people watch right from your table through their floor to ceiling windows. Lurcat’s diverse flavors are paired with a global list of 200 wines and makes for a perfect work Happy Hour or a special occasion date night. Their small plates are a great option for sharing and trying a variety of food they offer. If you happen to be in Minneapolis on a great summer evening, check out their dreamy patio with music and trees covered in twinkle lights." - Spyder Trap
"Verdant Loring Park looms large through the floor-to-ceiling windows at Café Lurcat. Take in views of the shimmering lake from the chic dining room and order a selection of small plates to share (think ginger fried rice, steak tartare, and tuna carpaccio. Pair them with a bottle of chardonnay." - Eater Staff
"This sprawling patio on the edge of Loring Park is at its prettiest when the afternoon fades into dusk. Go for small plates like hamachi crudo and poached oysters." - Justine Jones
"With massive windows offering an expansive view of Loring Park, Cafe Lurcat’s scenic beauty and refined menu make it an exceptional venue for a wedding. Even a party of 100 guests feels intimate in the elegant space — whether it’s a seated dinner, cocktail soiree, or a luxurious buffet of roasted Amish chicken, poached oysters, and ample champagne." - Alex Lodner
