Loulou is a charming bistro & bar that makes for a delightful brunch spot. We visited for Valentine’s brunch and overall had a lovely experience. Our server was warm, candid, and genuinely helpful in guiding us through the menu — always a great start. The cocktails deserve a special mention. The Remy, Bloody Affair, and Daily Green were bold, punchy, and beautifully balanced — easily the highlight of the meal. On the food front, it was a bit of a mixed bag. The French onion soup was hearty and comforting, though the onions and cheese leaned slightly too far into a charred, almost burnt flavor that didn’t quite hit the mark. The croissant French toast was indulgent and crowd-pleasing, but more bready and pancake-like than flaky, with a similar hint of char. Thankfully, the toppings and fresh fruit rounded it out nicely. The Yellowfin tuna sandwich felt fresh and wholesome, though the bread ran a touch dry — you’ll want a sip of your cocktail with every bite (which, to be fair, isn’t the worst problem to have). Overall, Loulou shows plenty of promise. There’s some fine-tuning to be done, but it’s definitely worth a visit — and we’ll be back to explore the lunch, dinner, and live entertainment next time.

We had an amazing time at Lulu nyc! We took our dog there for his 12th birthday. He ordered a steak and eggs off the dog menu. Our human food was also amazing! I got the sea bass and the beet salad. Cheese plate was also great. Highly recommend this place. Service was excellent as well! Very attentive.

Although we hadn't made a reservation, they were very friendly from the moment we arrived and immediately assigned us a table. We ordered cocktails and beer. The onion soup was very good, as was the lamb. We were served by a very friendly and attentive mexican waiter (from Jalisco), who recommended the main courses to us and did not disappoint. It was a very pleasant surprise. I recommend it.

Nothing was super outstanding, but everything was pretty good overall. The French toast was made with croissants, which was unique — though it felt a bit heavy. The vibe was lovely, and most importantly, it’s dog-friendly.

Really enjoyed this spot. The wild mushroom flatbread is rich, flavorful, and not too heavy. The steak sandwich was delicious too. Service was warm and easygoing, which made the whole experience even better. A place I visit often.
