Limited options but tasty!

Came here for breakfast twice. Great service both times. Really nice waitresses. Enjoyed a potato hash with extra potatoes instead of egg and a very good strawberry mocktail. The mimosa selection is robust but a mocktail is sometimes better at 9 AM. There are other restaurants with more vegan options but this is a great option for something a little fancy. It was wonderful to eat at a nice restaurant while living in a not-so-nice place a few hours north.

European-inspired Bistro

The willingness & ability to make vegetarian menu items vegan is hardly a win when you leave hungry & with a lofty bill. It's no secret I'm a big eater; I just wish I'd've remembered the French are notorious for small portion sizes. Doesn't help the veg-friendly add-ons are all vegetables ($4 for broccoli or ½ avocado or $5 for grilled vegetables). There's a vegan burger I've gotten before, with fries, because I'm too frugal to justify spending an extra $4 to sub fruit, but I usually want something a little healthier. My customized salad was arguably healthier, but there wasn't a lot to it & my bill wasn't much smaller. In sum, from the linen napkins & tablecloths to the rich, elegant desserts described & offered, by all appearances, this place is fancy. Sadly, it isn't for me, as I fancy food that is vegan, of substance, & doesn't cost me an arm & a leg.

Pros: Some vegetarian items can be made vegan, the cloth napkins are a very pretty color, & server was attentive to refilling water glasses.

Cons: No food served here is vegan w/o modifications, & those few options are low-quality, & yet as high-priced as the rest of the menu.

Caribbean salad!

The Caribbean Salad is so good! Leave off the hb egg & give away the cheese crisp to make it vegan. Skip the dressing, don’t need it cuz well - the mango salsa!

Pros: Comfortable place, Good service , Easy parking

Cons: Not many vegan options

So much cheese

There are plenty of vegetarian options, but it’s difficult to find good vegan options.

Charming Veg-Friendly Restaurant

We dined at the Green Gateau in Lincoln on Sunday, 7/16/17, for brunch, and on Wednesday, 7/17/17 for lunch. Vegetarians will have many options here. There are fewer vegan dishes, but there is a vegan salad, a vegan sandwich, veggie burgers, and vegetable pasta (omit the cheese topping). The Sunday brunch was especially good, and there is an extensive beer and wine list. Our table enjoyed fruit crepes, delicious beignets, quiche and a unique blue cheese potato salad. The namesake dish is Green Gateau cake, a chocolate sponge and mousse cake with pistachio icing, decorated in "Monet" colors and topped with a lily. The chef seems creative, so don't hesitate to request modifications.

Pros: Creative menu, Charming atmosphere, Beautiful presentation

Cons: Not enough vegan choices, Only veggie protein is cheese
