Super beau petit resto sympathique & au coeur du magnifique village de Pointe Claire. Excellents repas par contre dispendieux pour la grosseur des plats servis
Hands down the BEST restaurant in the west island. An incredible dining experience from head to toe, I have absolutely zero complaints! The service was impeccable, & somehow the food managed to be the star of the show.

What an amazing burger & fries, but the service made me give them 4 stars. These days tip starts at 20% but they not woth it many times. I think they check up on us once & I had to ask for vinegar twice & never got it. Shame as I loved the food.
Our friend extended an invitation to us for dinner, & we were presented with a diverse selection of culinary offerings. The quality of the food was exceptional. I would wholeheartedly endorse their establishment to anyone seeking a positive dining experience.
Food is OK but portions are tiny. They don't have enough tables on the terasse so if you don't keep ordering they semi-politely ask you to leave so they can seat the next customer. It's not worth what you pay & you don't get to relax knowing someone is eyeing your table!
Very excited to have a new & trendy spot in Pointe-Claire Village! The food was excellent in terms of flavour, the service was fair & the cocktails were good but overpriced. As for the portions, this is where I'm left unsure if I would ever go back. For 200$, my husband & I did not leave satisfied. The pasta portions are quite small & the entrees too. It's all very tasty but not at all worth the money...it's too bad. Hopefully they can increase portions.
We had this restaurant on our list of new places to try & were excited to get a table & try it out. It is a cute place with a nice atmosphere. The food was very delicious except very pricey for the portions you get. Entree's are definitely not shareable. For example, we were 2 people & the scallop entrée only came with 3 very tiny scallops... A couple items were sold out by the time we got there also, so our options were limited for ordering. It was nice to try, however, the price wasn't worth the experience for us.

Some of the best food in the West Island! Everything was bang on. Food, service, atmosphere. We had a bit of everything.. Oysters, crab cake, beef carpaccio, tuna carpaccio, Parker rolls, chicken dish, sea pass, pasta, fries, it was all very very good. Martinis are also really good. Definitely coming every time I'm in Montreal. They also accommodated our last minute reservation & were super cool when we had to change the reso a few times.
Highly recommend a trip to Lou's if visiting the Montreal area! Everything from the food, cocktails, staff & atmosphere made the experience incredible. The lavender espresso martini is amazing!!! I will definitely be visiting again next time I'm in the area!
Cool new spot in point Claire village. I'm glad they kept the vintage vibe The food was really good. Personally I didn't like the scallops & I normally love scallops Maybe I got a bad one

Pros: Service & atmosphere were very on point. Tuna carpaccio was amazing! Fries were amazing. Cons: my strip-loin steak was unfortunately quite overcooked :( very disappointing.
The specials were so good & it was such a lovely atmosphere to celebrate Mother's Day with our family. Service was quick & attentive, food was well balanced & the set menu is a great option for larger groups.
Food was delicious & the service was great ! We were a large group ( 9 pp) & was impressed with how smooth the service was. I highly recommend & will definitely go back !

We had a wonderful evening at Lou's. Food was great, & good value for the price. There were four in our party, so we were able to try a number of different dishes, all were very good, & a couple, the fish, & creamed veg. were great. Great cocktails. Excellent service. The whole experience was wonderful. The decor is very pleasant, with very comfortable seating. The place was noisy with chatter, but we quickly adjusted to this. The music was kept at a reasonable volume, & didn't interfere with conversation. We would highly recommend this restaurant.
