LouLou Paris Reviews
The Italian place to eat at while in France!
What a place to go to! The food is delicious, the service is excellent, the place is wonderful. What a treat really it’s a trendy but classic place at the same time. The waiter was incredibly sweet and cheeky with the kids he made our dinning experience fantastic! He even left the restaurant with us to show us directions to the taxi station! Brilliant place will for sure recommend anyone in France to go have a meal there. Only thing is they open the bookings only 2 weeks in advance and they are always fully booked so book as early as you can.
Pretty but horrible experience.
Although the restaurant does have great reviews unfortunately the staff is incredibly rude and r a c i s t. We were shouted at from the front of house staff and refused a seat. We were told there are no walk ins however 2 mins later they let a group of 8 walk in with no reservation. Apparently the staff is able to let people in at their discretion. The manager had to intervene due to the rudeness of staff however they are all very dismissive. If you dont have w h i t e privilege unfortunately you wont be accepted at this restaurant.
Big disappointment
Honestly, quite disappointed after visit this time. First time I visited Loulou in winter this year and it was amazing, so I was really looking forward to come back. This week we came for the first sitting and they sit us on the first floor just next to the big loud table when the rest of the restaurant was still empty. The noise and ambience was not encouraging for the long meal at all. The food was very good, quality of the food was outstanding, however the service could be way better. I ordered truffle pasta and the truffle was already on the plate when usually in decent restaurants it is grated on the spot. After main course the server decided that there is no need to clean bread crumbs, so we were eating dessert on the table covered with crumbs. I was thinking it’s a true restaurant, however the service made me feel like I am in a mediocre brasserie. Loulou used to be a great place, but unfortunately not anymore
Snooty lady receptionist
The servers for the table were excellent but please ask the lady at the reception desk to not be so snooty - we pay a lot of money to be there and would appreciate to be welcomed in.
From start to finish, lunch at Loulou was a disaster.
When we originally sat down, it was raining. And even though the place was practically empty, they chose a table that wasn't entirely covered and wouldn't allow us to move, so we ended up getting wet. Then, it took our waiter about 15 minutes to come over to us; the rest of the service between ordering and receiving food was equally slow. On top of that, the prices are insane considering the quality of food. The spaghetti sauce my friend had on her pasta dish looked like it came out of a can with the amount of oil in it. I also have to mention the birds which were pooping on chairs and eating food on plates before and after it was served. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the birds had taken some from my plate before it was given to me. The kicker at the end was being forced to give a tip, there was no option not to. Do yourself a favor and find another spot to eat further away from the Louvre!
Horrible hostesses
The food is very good but the hostesses up from are absolutely awful humans. They tried to give us the worst table they had (dark corner table) claiming every other table was reserved or unavailable, while seating other two tops at then. Would not return because of the terrible hostesses. Also they claim the service is not included unlike everywhere else in France.

I had an incredible brunch for my bachelorette party with 11 friends, and it was a 10/10 experience all around! The service was fantastic, and I highly recommend our waiter, Long - he was amazing!
The best experience ever!
I had the most amazing experience!
must go!!!!
EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO HERE (for lunch). The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the menu was absolutely so delicious. I highly recommend the tuna carpaccio and the green pizza (I forget what it's called). It was all excellent. The dessert was great too. The restaurant has beautiful windows overlooking a gorgeous lawn. 100% recommend!!!!
This restaurant is absolutely adorable inside and out.
I was hoping to sit outside but they seated us inside which was also fine but on a sunny day sit outside! we got the vodka pasta, the pesto pasta and the cucumber feta olive salad and all was SO good. It's well worth making a reservation for I'm still thinking about days later.
"Had an amazing lunch today, but was a bit disappointed
"Had an amazing lunch today, but was a bit disappointed that we weren't seated outside like we thought we would be. They said the outside doesn't open until June. It doesn't state that on the website, so it's a bit misleading. Overall though the inside was really nice, service was amazing and food was delicious. It's a must go to if you're visiting Paris."
OK
The restaurant is beautiful. The staff seemed harried but the service was ok My husband had the loup (sea bass) and it was excellent. I had the octopus risotto and the octopus was so tough I had to ask for a steak knife and still could not cut or eat the two pieces on top the “risotto”, which I’m not sure it was risotto it was so dried out. It was like the rice you get at the bottom of a good paella dish, a little crunchy. It was like it had been left u see a warmer for 30 minutes. Anyway, I thought this was the way octopus was supposed to taste - and my husband said maybe it was supposed to be more of a paella then risotto (list in translation) until I had a wonderful octopus dish at a nearby bistro (Volney) later and it was tender and wonderful. Price to value was high for the quality of my meal. My husband’s meal was great.
Delicious dinner with the best vibe
The food was delicious and vibe was so good!!! Loved our dinner here. Definitely recommend the Vodka Pasta and Saint-Germain Spritz!
Just 'okay'.
We booked LouLou for a birthday celebration for my sister and we're disappointed. When we arrived the front-of-house staff were rude and looked as though we were inconveniencing them, one member of the team in particular. A second host, much friendlier than the team member that met us at the door, the first showed us to our table, upstairs with a great view of the Eiffel Tower. The waiters were very helpful, welcoming and knowledgeable about allergens making me feel comfortable about the gluten-free and celiac-friendly options. I was pleased to know that the salads, lots of the starters and that all of the pasta dishes could be made with GF pasta. Service was really slow and the restaurant wasn't full so I was surprised. The food was, ok. Starters were nice but nothing special and I've had much better Italian food elsewhere. For the price, I had expected this to be great but the pasta was CRUNCHY and hard (not Al Dente, just not cooked) and we had to send it back. When we left I received a second notification on my banking app, I had been charged my full deposit as well as our bill. Luckily I was just outside and turned back to ask the team about this, the same host was at the front, looked us up and down, and said 'whoops mistake' with no apology. I was told that this would be refunded and that i'd receive an email to confirm this and I am still waiting for this.
Nice food but far too expensive
Nice food but far too expensive. We had 2 main courses, 2 glasses of wine and 2 coffe. It cost 146 Euro, i.e. 73 Euro per person. Close to Musée des Arts Decoratifs
We won’t be returning
The service and food were both poor. We were waiting to be served and most of the time had to call someone over to order. The food was lukewarm and the portion sizes were too small. Overall, we thought it was overpriced and poor. We wouldn’t recommend and won’t be returning.
We had a great experience here.
The restaurant is nice and cozy. The Truffle Pizza was Fantastic. Best white sauce pizza I've ever had. But it comes at the steep price of €50! But honestly.. when in... Paris.. I suppose it's not the time to pinch Pennies. The wine we had was great. The service was great and we had a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. Oh! The Pesto Pasta was fantastic. And the Pasta with Vodka was Sauce was nice and spicy. Definitely recommend coming here!!
Please don't fall for this trap! This restaurant is only
Please don't fall for this trap! This restaurant is only nice in the sense of convenience to the Lourve. I can see the potential in the cute location and graphics, but they know exactly what they are doing in terms of manipulation. My boyfriend and I made a reservation over a week ago to come after our Lourve visit. We were seated by the hot window literally squished next to two other ladies. We didn't want to gorge, so we told our waiter that we would like to order a pizza to the share (the truffle pizza, which already is a pricier food option). He stopped us right there and said every guest has to order an entree. We tacked on a pesto pasta on top of our specialty cocktails. We truly knew it would be impossible to finish two whole dishes, so we asked for a takeaway--which we understand isn't ideal in Europe because they don't like when there's an abundance of your meal left. But what else are you going to do when you have 2 huge entrees that you're paying for and sharing on top of drinks and even dessert? When we asked for the check and a takeaway box, our waiter took away our food THEN brought back our pizza without the pasta. When he came back, he asked if it were okay that he threw away our pasta. First of all, LOL. Second of all, I asked him why was that necessary when he did not mention that when he left with our plates AND forced us to order another plate. He tried to tell me "oh, it's fresh pasta, and it doesn't stay good over time, etc." --then why serve something that can't last an extra hour...not to forget, he only came by 3-4 times total. Trés mal. Pas bien. Il est épouvantable. He, then, insisted that we add tip because "gratuity isn't included". Beware if Ludovic is serving you near the window. He doesn't mean well.
Ok I'm giving it a 4 but it could be a 3.
Wife read about this spot and off we went. Weird entrance through the museum but there's another nicer way in. Free fall all when the doors open and we were second in line so I thought this was going to be easy. 5 or 6 table were seated before us because the other entrance is closer to the hostess desk. Get our table and waited........ for the waiter. He took our drinks and then took an order from the table next to us who sat a few minutes after us. They ate and left 30 minutes before we did. Dinner was over 2 hours. I'm assuming it's from the kitchen getting slammed by the instant opening. I ordered some mezcal special cocktail and my wife ordered a special margarita Both were delicious. Mine was excellent. We ordered the sea bass carpaccio and while we were waiting the waiter offered us the Vitello Tonnato that was a wrong order. Was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. (Plus 1 for the waiter.)The sea bass came 20 minutes later (minus 1) and was good not as good as the veal. Mains were Fettuccini Alfredo with Truffles. Delicious. Wife had the Veal Piccata came with creamy mashed potatoes. Both delicious and recommend. So the problem was we waited 30 minutes to get the check ( minus 1) Floor manager was a little aggressive clearing our table and should smile a little. So the food was great and the atmosphere was nice, staff was meh. Oh and the crowd was all over the place , people in sweats and some decked out and some good people watching.
Great
From st tropez to paris, loulous is an iconic place for great food and atmosphere.
While visiting our daughter in Paris, who has lived there 6
While visiting our daughter in Paris, who has lived there 6 years. We were treated so poorly, she booked out a week in advance. We arrived and were seated to the left of the entrance. In the sun. We asked to be seated on the right. We were told two different things. Our regular customers are seated on the right, which does have the better view and then, oh you didn't book soon enough. Basically, if you don't have copious amounts of botox, or you aren't wearing high end clothing you won't be seated to the right. We left, we have never been treated so poorly in france. I guess we all need that one rude france experience. Went off and had the best lunch somewhere else at Racines. Don't bother with this place.
Food was very good.
Waiter was a douche. The food came out rapid fire causing three courses to go cold, he ran up the bill by giving us a market price piece of fish that could have served a family of 6 for a table of 2. He was inattentive and arrogant. There are better places to go where you will not be treated like you are a tourist and made to feel like one.
Loulou Paris was so good!!
Everything looked so good we had a hard time choosing! We ended up taking four different plates and sharing everything and I'm so glad we did because the food is amazing!
Food was amazing, service was incredible and view &
Food was amazing, service was incredible and view & ambiance were top notch! We had the zucchini flower, pistachio pasta, risotto and a delicious puff pastry desert. Everything was fantastic!
Very delicious food and such a nice atmosphere.
Staff was pleasant considering my party and I are American. The bathrooms were very clean and the attendant was very kind. Would most definitely come back again.
We had an amazing dinner with a stunning view! Our green
We had an amazing dinner with a stunning view! Our green bean salad, ceviche and the whole fish were divine. The service was impeccable!
Great for kids, great for celiac
We were so grateful to find this restaurant! The whole menu is very gluten-friendly and the staff knows all about celiac, which was such a relief, as my 10-year-old has celiac. They have a kids' menu that felt comfortable to my 5- and 8-year-old loved after many meals of new foods they hadn't seen before. It was relaxing and the staff was very kind.
Went 2 times in 4 days. Great Food
The food and ambiance at LouLou is fantastic. Great selection of wine compliments the food very well. Desserts are delicious too. Happy to have been.
Absolutely perfect
Atmosphere 5+ / cool vibe but private Vibe 5+ / smart elegant with good music Location 5 / central and convenient Food 5+++ / really good Italian food, high quality, perfectly cooked Well done!
Amazing food and gorgeous view of the Eiffel Tower! Must
Amazing food and gorgeous view of the Eiffel Tower! Must get reservations or risk waiting. The truffle pasta and pizza is a must try!!
Nothing special
I visited with my wife for dinner. The location is nice and the ambience is ok if not a bit boring. The food was hit and miss, some nice (not great) and some not so nice. Service was hit and miss too. Some were really helpful and others like they were really bored. If you have a few days in Paris I am sure that there are more interesting places to try.
Nice trendy Italian restaurant
After our really bad exeperiance at Coco restaurant, the concierge at the Mandarin Orental recommended, and booked, LouLou for us. And he was right, we had a nice evening. Nice service and good food. One downside (but I'm very picky), they dont have good red wines by the glass (or half bottles). At the end, I found a wine, but in Paris I was craving for a nice Bordeaux (or at least a Brunello, considering LouLou is serving Italian cuisine).
celebrated my birthday here.
We had fried calamari, grilled octopus, truffle pizza, truffle pasta, tiramisu and millefeuille. I loved everthing! Pasta was so so but everthing else were amazing! Desserts were 10/10!
Best pasta I've ever had.
Cooked perfectly. Seasoned perfectly. The creamy sauce was S-tier. Pizza was good but the pasta overshadowed everything.
The Best!!
I love to go to LouLou Paris. A hidden gem! Absolute must for anyone traveling or local!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to LouLou Paris at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the LouLou Paris page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at LouLou Paris to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at LouLou Paris!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
