Café Lurçat

$$$ | Regional 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 a less-than-luxury price point. 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 Café, 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 Café Lurçat continue to define what makes eating out so pleasurable.
