Review Summary

Lou's Restaurant is frequently described as a stylish and cozy destination in the West Island, celebrated by many for its flavorful signature dishes like the pasta Genovese, tuna carpaccio, and bread pudding. While numerous guests highlight the fantastic atmosphere, unique cocktail menu, and exceptionally friendly service provided by specific staff members, others report inconsistent experiences. Frequent mentions of loud noise levels, cramped seating, and long wait times for food occasionally overshadow the dining experience. Furthermore, while many patrons find the service top-tier and welcoming, some visitors have encountered issues with slow response times, perceived pressure to vacate tables, or inconsistent food portions, leading to a divide in overall satisfaction among the clientele.

I went with two of my friends & was not disappointed. The service was excellent & the cocktails were some of the best I've had. It's a really nice atmosphere & I will definitely be coming back!

My husband & I really enjoyed our night! We unknowingly reserved for the bar which unbeknownst to us, was very pleasant. Our bartender Addy was simply wonderful & we got to know the restaurant on a much more intimate level! The food was exceptional & you can tell how much work & dedication the chefs put into every dish. Highly recommend the tuna carpaccio & the scallops which were divine! Also the Caesar salad & the rigatoni were phenomenal. A hidden gem in the West, will definitely be returning!

Très bruyant, service déplorable & trop lent, nourriture malheureusement pas vraiment bonnes. Pas mauvais mais ne vaut pas la peine de retourner, je ne recommande absolument pas

Service was exceptional, drinks delicious, but unfortunately main course for 6 out of 7 diners was served cold. Furthermore, the dishes were not the same as earlier visits, not enough sauce in the pasta, salad leaves whole, no vinaigrette on half the salad, bread pudding underwhelming. Several diners had already been a few times, enjoyed their meals. Perhaps trying a new chef? We won't go again.

Définitivement un restaurant à recommander! Malgré qu'il faut réserver, j'ai appelé, & par chance, obtenu une place dans les 15 minutes qui suivantes. Le service était extrêmement rapide, la nourriture était succulente & le restaurant est très charmant! Merci à toute l'équipe pour cette belle expression!

Everything we ordered were fantastic. Highly recommend the spicy tuna carpaccio, beef tartare, crab cake, baked scallops as appetizers. Pasta & rib steaks (25oz) were also good. Only minor thing was the fires was overly salted otherwise it was very good fries. Great service & chill vibe. Nice to see that West Island have this kind of restaurant. Highly recommended. The downside was that the restaurant was very warm & humid. Like some other reviews mentioned. The AC definitely not working well.

Good experience, however nothing to write home about just yet. I can see they are trying to do something different here. I get the new hype of having a hip downtown-like restaurants in the west Island but this isn't quite there yet. It's good, but really not worth the price. For a small piece of bass, 1 potato cut into 4 wedges & 5 brocolis ain't really worth the nearly $40 price mark. The tuna was great but the boat load of garnishes (3 different types of onions) really takes away from the dish. Ingredients wise in this case I believe less would have been more. Genovese was great no complaints there. The kitchen & mgmt needs to work on their dishes to make up for those prices. $200+ dollars for 3 drinks, 2 entrees & 2 mains didnt quite feel I got my money's worth TBH. With a few adjustments in time this place will thrive
