We were late to our reservation (twice). Yet when we called, Sylvana picked up & made sure to find a way to welcome us after travelling across the province. Despite coming at an inconvenient time, we were welcomed & served delicious food; The buttered bread, the scallops, the sirloin, & genovese pasta were perfect.
The scallops were buttered, lemony, zesty, & breadcrumbs made our mouths dance. We will be coming back for them again. The sirloin was cooked to perfection & the sauce was delicious. The pasta-the pasta-the pasta! The braised short rib & al dente pappardelle realigned our chakras. The broccolini could have used a little more parmesan, but nothing to deter from our experience. Despite being served near closing, the service was fantastic, our waters filled, & Sylvana always checking if we were okay. Finally we were served a cake for my girlfriends birthday for dessert.
What could have ended a long day in a cheap fast food ride back home, ended up being a highly memorable experience where the food & service really mended a long drive back, & filled our stomachs with the birthday cheer we deeply longed for.

In case it was not mentioned, this experience could not have been made possible without Sylvana.

I can't believe it took me this long to write this review.

Lou's is hands down my favourite solo date spot on the island of Montreal. I've been here at least 10 times & it has never disappointed.

The lychee martini is incredible, the food is consistently delicious & I've tried a good chunk of the menu at this point. The chocolate cake dessert is a must.

The wait staff are always so kind & make solo dining feel genuinely comfortable & welcoming. The overall energy of this place is top tier every single time. Couldn't recommend it enough.

My partner & I had a dinner date here a few weeks ago & received the worst service we've ever experienced. Our waitress took our order & then ignored us/abandoned us the rest of the night. She didn't inform us that she had messed up our food order & we ended up waiting over forty-five minutes for a plate of pasta. I also had to refill our own water but thankfully was right next to the water station!
A very kind busboy ended up serving us the rest of the night & even offered us free cake & bread for the inconvenience!!
Our waitress ended up only coming back to bring the check & get gratuity. It's unfortunate when employees bring their personal problems to work & let it affect the service.
Unfortunately we'll only be back if some staff members learn to leave the drama at home & stop gossiping on the job. Tuna carpaccio was yummy tho!!

Great restaurant!
We loved everything we tried. Brioche bread with garlic butter, the ravioli & papparedelles, steak, Caesar salad & chocolate cake. All delicious! My favourite was the ravioli.
The service by Hanna & Jacob was exceptional.

Amazing evening at Lou's. Sat at the bar & was served by the sweetest waitress/bartender ever Haylo! She was amazing. She gave us great recommendations. The food was delicious with amazing presentation & they were very assiduous with the cutlery, plate changes, water, drinks, etc. We highly recommend the tuna carp, the cesar salad, crab cake, the scallops, the brioche, the rigatoni. I forget the name of the dessert but like just look at it like unbelievably yum. Seriously great fun cozy vibes, good drinks, good service, amazing food. 10/10 would recommend.

The carrot cake was to die for. I've been a couple times to Lou's & their food always hits the spot. The staff is friendly & attentive. If there's one restaurant to try in the West Island, it's definitely Lou's.

Dinner for 4. We got 3 starters: crab cake, crispy brussle sprouts & the house buns.
Sprouts were amazing, buns were good, crab cake was just ok.

4 mains: pasta vodka, pasta be obese & 2 burgers. Both pastas were great & the burgers were also quite good, can do salad or fries & get a good portion either way.

1 chocolate cake. This was super good.

We also got Gin fizz, & coffee negroni. The negroni was awesome.

It was LOUD in there, we could still talk but it was nice to walk out to the quiet street after wards. But overall, really enjoyed the experience there. We totalled over $300

Had dinner with some friends. The place was busy & super loud. A bit too loud for me. Justine our waitress was very good. She was friendly & attentive. The crab cake was delicious but wasn't hot enough. Not sure if it hung around in the back counter before it was brought out to me. The food was a hit. My wife's salmon was delicious & had a crispiness she appreciated. My half chicken was on the small side despite the description but was buttery & delicious. It sat in a sort of lentil broth that married very well. We all enjoyed our experience minus the volume. Will be back.

Lou's Restaurant offers an exceptional casual dining experience with a warm & inviting atmosphere. The ambiance is a perfect blend of modern sophistication & relaxed comfort, making it an ideal spot for a memorable evening out. The food is simply outstanding. The fish dish I had was cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin & tender, flavorful meat. The crab cakes were a delightful appetizer, packed with rich, succulent crab meat & just the right amount of seasoning. The chicken dish was equally impressive, featuring juicy, well-seasoned meat paired with fresh, vibrant greens. The wine selection is well-curated, complementing the dishes beautifully. I particularly enjoyed a bottle of Vigna Renuzza, which was recommended by the attentive & knowledgeable staff. Overall, Lou's Restaurant delivers on all fronts-delicious food, excellent wine, & a fantastic atmosphere. It's a place I'll definitely return to & highly recommend to others looking for a top-notch dining experience. One suggestion is to definitely get an espresso machine. Please. 🙏
