Been to a delightful escape into little Paris. From the moment you step inside, the charming décor and warm ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.
The menu is a wonderful homage to traditional French fare, featuring alongside innovative dishes that highlight seasonal ingredients.
Entrée: “Los Santos” - Wild mushroom arancini with truffle cream sauce and parmesan cheese 🧀 It was delicious 😋! Recommend ✔️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
For the main course: “Naiman” - Tandoori salmon briyani with cashew nuts, fried onions, coriander and curry labneh. It was a bit dry, couldn’t finish. Do not recommend in a French themed restaurant 👎🏻 ⭐️⭐️ “C’est L’hiver” - rib eye steak with mushroom sauce and crispy potato. Very scrumptious, enjoyed it! Definitely recommend ✔️ 👍🏻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For drink: “Rosé Latte” ☕️ - a bit savorless but with offered chocolate cookies was quite okay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Avec Passion” - a mix of passion fruit, lime and mint with a dash of soda water. Quite refreshing ✔️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The dessert selection is not to be missed. We shared the classic cookies only since we were running late, but the menu has various variations of desserts. You should definitely come and try their dessert selection. It was the perfect sweet ending to our meal.
The service at Café Lilou was attentive without being intrusive. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent dishes.
Overall, Café Lilou is a gem that truly captures the essence of French dining and atmosphere. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a night out, this restaurant promises a delightful culinary journey. I highly recommend making a reservation, as it tends to fill up quickly....
