Restaurant LouLou. — Restaurant in Bordeaux

I came 20 mins before 7pm and the lady told me they still have to eat their dinner before they open for dinner at 7, which was fine by me. So I just made a reservation for 7pm.

When I came back, I asked the server that I will go straight to the main course and asked what he'd recommend. He said duck. Again, I was fine with the suggestion and paired it with a nice red.

The duck dish came, well presented and the flavors are nice. However, the meat was chewy. I'd have to struggle with the knife to slice it. When I chewed on it it was giving a fight and felt like chewing a rubber.

At this point, I was famished and couldn't care any less than to just have dinner. The fish was okay. Coked perfectly, I cleared the plateand ordered another glass of wine.

I tried to order dessert but had to decide against it. I got up thanked the...

When in Bordeaux👌

We're really enjoying the foodie scene here in Bordeaux. We seem to be finding beautiful fresh food everywhere we go.

After a long sleep in, & finding it hard to decide where to eat, we stumbled across this cute cafe called @restaurantloulou

The staff were just beautiful, we got a reservation without any problems, & boy were we happy we decided to eat here🙏🏻 Each course was soo delicious; simple, fresh & flavoursome. Although we would normally opt for a white wine to go with seafood, we have really been into our reds lately, so we went with the recommendation which from the Graves region Mail Caillou 2015. A lovely drinking wine to go with food & at €23 a bottle, we weren't complaining!

Prices were very reasonable. 3 course meal with coffee & a bottle of wine €104👌 Such good value especially for the quality of food. Highly...

We had a wonderful Saturday evening here with friends. The atmosphere was perfect for a summer night, relaxed and welcoming. We were greeted warmly and offered a delicious hummus starter while we waited for our main dish.

The côte de bœuf for three was exceptional, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We paired it with some great cocktails and beers. The service was attentive and friendly throughout.

A great spot for amazing food, drinks, and ambiance. It's definitely worth a stop if you’re...
