Cafe & Bar Lurcat, a longtime destination near Loring Park in Minneapolis, will close at the end of this summer, as announced Tuesday by its owners. It is another from a growing list of Twin Cities restaurant staples that are calling it quits.

The restaurant serves elevated American classics and is one of Minnesota's most iconic fine dining establishments.

But as its lease runs out, Café & Bar Lurcat’s time on Loring Park is coming to a close. The classic Minneapolis restaurant will end its run Sept. 5, the owners announced Tuesday. “For 23 years, Café & Bar Lurcat has been a beacon of celebration, a space where every meal is a memory, and guests are family,” said co-owner Richard D’Amico.
