Description

Café Lurcat and Bar Lurcat are conjoined twins covering substantial acreage halfway between Uptown and downtown on Minneapolis's beautiful Loring Park, across from the Walker Art Center's famed sculpture garden. The restaurant serves artisanal American bistro fare such as a lush salmon tartare with black mustard seeds. The wine list starts below $20, covers the globe unimpeachably, and is available in the bar as well. Actually, the bar is where the Lurcat vision really shines--and not just because of the first-rate people watching, but because crisp, golden, crusty house-made fries go great with so very many things, from artisanal cheeses, to late-harvest zinfandel, to 12-year single-malt scotch, to Rioja, to bubbly, to oysters on the half shell...

    Top 10 French fries in the Twin Cities

    By CP Staff | Mon, November 19, 2012

    Despite that brief, embarrassing episode with the so-called freedom fries, a certain slice of Americana requires a plate of French fries. From a diner burger to sopping up the white wine and butt... More »

    Burger Jones, Five Guys, Smashburger

    If you think a burger's just a ground-beef patty slapped between bun halves, you probably don't live in Minnesota. Here we take our burgers as seriously as Easterners do their pastrami and Southerners do their barbecue. We can probably blame this... More »

  • 2006 | BEST RESTAURANT FOR APPETIZERS

    The coolest place in town, the prettiest snacks around--Café Lurcat raises the bar. With its wide-angle view of charming Loring Park and its spare, dramatic 21st-century Deco interior, Café Lurcat serves an eclectic selection of noshes, nibbles, snacks, and apps to match its refined menu of grown-up drinks (real Martinis) and more than 200 wines. Sure, Lurcat has great people-watching (and people-phone-number-requesting), but there's a strong argument to be made that... More »

  • 2005 | BEST COCKTAILS

    Contrary to some bartender's mixing skills, a cocktail shouldn't be a drink that makes you gag when sipped from the top before stirring, or one that simply masks the alcohol content well, or one that's mostly ice and served up with a coffee stirrer. A good cocktail should be a complex sipping experience. It should have a consistent and pleasant punch of fruit juices, hard alcohol, and liqueurs in each swallow. The spacious and posh Bar Lurcat manages to do just that with a variety of tasty... More »

  • 2004 | BEST FRIES

    Golden French fries in a silvery bucket on a white china tray--Bar Lurçat doesn't serve mere fries, it presents a treasure of spuds. The fries themselves are ultra-fried, crisp as the dickens outside, creamy and potato-rich inside. Each bite of these tawny 3-D stripes has you reveling in the texture of the moment, and chasing the next bite: Will it be more crisp? More earthy? More creamy? And hence an obsession is born. The béarnaise that accompanies them is less like a... More »

  • 2003 | BEST WINE BAR

    In the best of all possible worlds, a wine bar will have a wine list that inspires curiosity and delight. A list that appeals both to wine newcomers and old hands. A list that satisfies at various price points. Bar Lurcat offers all that and more. The list changes often but usually offers some 200 wines, including at least 40 available by the glass or in two-ounce tasting pours. It is always fascinating, and in the past it has included a Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape for a mere $2.50 a... More »
