The ambiance is lovely — warm, cosy, and very pleasant for a relaxed meal. Service was fine and the overall setting makes it an enjoyable place to spend time. However, the food was just okay. The pork chop was noticeably on the salty side, and the sea bass was also quite salty, which took away from the enjoyment of the dishes. While the presentation was decent, the flavors didn’t quite match the quality of the environment. A nice spot for the atmosphere, but I do feel the food could be better to truly live up to the experience.

Food was delicious and on point. The crispy halloumi and pomegranate salad was delightful and refreshing. We also enjoyed the duck magret and figs, and appreciated the perfect doneness of the meat. The maitre d, Jeff, was ernest and friendly although I think the restaurant can do with one or two more servers and better air conditioning.

I had an excellent solo dinner at Loulou. From the moment I walked in, there was an understated confidence that told me this was going to be a treat. I began with a steak tartare that was beautifully seasoned and well balanced, simple on the surface but full of flavour. I then chose the Margaret River tenderloin, served with charcoal grilled asparagus and Provençale potatoes. Fresh thyme sat alongside the steak, with a parsley and garlic sauce that worked perfectly. Everything was cooked with precision, exactly as you would hope from a place of this calibre. Not fussy, not overworked, just very good French cooking with real self assurance in both preparation and plating. I could not resist the Champagne infused Poire Belle-Hélène to finish, an all time favourite. A perfectly poached pear in a pool of dark chocolate, with touches of cream and crunch. Just classic. I dined alone, but never once felt overlooked. The front of house team were warm, chatty, and engaging without being intrusive. Loulou is a real gem. Warm, confident, and somewhere I left already planning to return with friends. (Visited April 2024)

All the dishes were delicious actually, though I wish the Ribeye steak could've been a bit more tender! The camembert was really a great starter, with a strong truffle flavour that went well with the sweet honey. The pistachio creme brulee had the right amount of sweetness, and you could taste the pistachio.

Our experience at Loulou was a let down. We were seated at a table next to the open kitchen and it was super warm with the constant heat and noise from the kitchen, it wasnt a nice environment for a date. After we were seated, the waiter informed us about 5 dishes that were unavailable, such as the octopus & escargot. The dishes that came werent up to our expectations - for example the French Bouillabaisse that we ordered had tasteless fish.
