Lou's Restaurant

Nice little restaurant with some delicious options. Sea bass was excellent, however the portion was quite small for the asking price. Appetizer of tuna was excellent however the $22 crab cake was over spiced, over priced & lacked the fresh taste of crab. All side dishes are an extra cost. The macaroni & cheese is very strong & their fries while tasty, are not evenly cooked so the majority were overdone. Dessert menu was lacking as they only had one option which was a type of pudding chomeur that resembled more of a piece of French toast with ice cream on top & caramel drizzle. Hopefully they add a coffee menu such as espresso & cappuccino since French press was the only option available. This restaurant is one room that holds about 50-60 people max so the atmosphere is quite loud with no option of reducing the noise. Thankfully, their staff is very professional & provides excellent customer service.

Très cher...très très ordinaire, je pensais vivre une expérience culinaire...mais Non Steak dur, dessert ne goûtait rien. Serveuse gentille & connaît son menu. Pour 200$ je préfère aller ailleurs

We have wanted to try Lou's out since they opened several months ago but were never able to snag a reservation (probably because we tried to late...obviously) but lady luck finally called in the new year & we got a table (bar only) at the beginning of January 2024. Although there are a number of restaurants in the Pointe Claire Village, Lou's has created both an elegant yet casual ambiance with a mixed Italian/American-style cuisine. After sitting us at the bar & placing our order, a table cleared & we asked to move to it which they happily agreed to...that's appreciated as many restaurants don't want to hassle with moving patrons to new tables. The menu is not extensive but I would say that all types of eaters can find at least one thing on the menu to enjoy. For our meal, we started with the Parker Rolls (good...but the portion was a bit on the small side) & Crab Cake (very good, excellent sauce but a bit on the pricey side for a single cake)...for our main we had the Pasta Genovese (excellent), Eggplant Parmigiana (it seems they fried the eggplant slices to be crispy before being baked...was excellent...highly recommend it) & a side of Creamed Greens (sounds weird, I know, but was actually quite good). When moving from the bar to the table there was an issue with timing of the main meal being delivered. Due to the delay, the manager complimented us with a tasty Strawberry Cookie dessert & a glass of Amara. Both of which were greatly appreciated & enjoyed as well. Service was very good & attentive & we never felt wanting. Although note that there is (currently) a draft due to a faulty door at the back that affects the left side of the restaurant (as you enter). It wasn't terrible but it was noticeable...just ask to sit on the right side if you can. The restaurant is very busy so reservations are highly recommended...at least several days in advance. Enjoy!

My husband & I really enjoyed our dining experience at Lou's in Pointe-Claire. The service was excellent & the lighting decor is warm... very nice atmosphere. A little on the chilly side due to the door opening right into the dining area. The beef tartare was nice, as was our pasta dish & striploin. The ONE thing this restaurant really needs to improve is dessert. Most diners expect more than one option, & if there's only one option, it's needs to be incredible. We had a basic chocolate cake (with sprinkles!), which fell flat for us. If that improves, it would be 5 stars for us.
