Les avis réunis sur Lou's décrivent une expérience majoritairement très positive, avec une nourriture délicieuse et variée et une atmosphère chaleureuse. Plusieurs plats reviennent comme des coups de cœur: carpaccio de thon, pâtes Genovese, demi poulet, rigatoni et burger, sans oublier les desserts comme le bread pudding. La carte est souvent qualifiée de courte mais bien exécutée, et les portions parfois jugées petites pour le prix. Le service est généralement chaleureux et attentif, avec une équipe qui fait l'effort d'être disponible et utile; toutefois certains témoignages évoquent un service plus lent ou un niveau de bruit élevé. L'endroit est souvent perçu comme idéal pour un rendez-vous ou une sortie entre amis, et comme un véritable bijou de l'Ouest de l'Île. Des critiques ponctuelles évoquent une ambiance parfois bruyante et une attente plus longue que attendue, ou des plats servis tièdes, mais ces remarques restent minoritaires. La sélection de boissons et les cocktails sont souvent loués, tout comme l'effort apporté à la présentation des plats et à l'attention portée aux détails. En somme, Lou's est présenté comme une adresse locale incontournable dans l'Ouest de l'Île, offrant une expérience gastronomique de qualité qui pousse à revenir.
What a gem… The atmosphere & staff immediately make you feel so welcome & warm. The drinks are very unique & tasty, surprised they had Guinness on tap & it was up to par. We shared the Caesar salad & the half chicken, so tasty ! You can tell they care in the little details, the menus & coasters are beautiful, they continuously fill your water glass as the evening goes by & are attentive to all your needs. Super clean & cute bathrooms. I'd recommend Lou's for a date night or a nice dinner out with friends. Special shout out to our talented bar tender Daniel & Ryan who made sure we had exactly what we needed, when we needed it. The manager Jono was super friendly & accommodating; 11/10 !
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.

Went on a Saturday night before what it seemed to be a private event around 8. Tuna carpacio is pretty good & portion is fine but lacking acidity. wolffish(loup de mer) with potatoes is extremely small, we are talking about 50 grams of fish, when it came it felt like an appetizer. Fish portion should be doubled at least to be a sufficient protein portion in a restaurant. Potatoes in that meal not fully cooked through but overall the taste of the dish is very good although too salty. The burger is fine for the price. I feel overall that the food is not memorable although I want it to be especially in the west island, seems juvenile a bit. Cocktails were good. Overall dining experience is good. The service lacks experience & engagement, not up to par with price of food. I'd expect more knowledge & confidence when talking about meals, it is not a bistro. Also servers were all talking behind the bar instead of making sure everyone had what they needed, seems like most tables had empty drinks. Service should always be better than food because that's what brings up up the value. Overall i like it but the potential of this restaurant is not developped.
Dined here with my brother last night - really cool lil supper club in a really nice part of MTL. Worth the drive out. Food was incredible, staff were super friendly, atmosphere was great. 3 courses & drinks - not bad at all.
This was our second time dining at Lou's & somehow it was even better than the first! My husband & I sat at the bar & were lucky to be served by Evelyn, who was both our bartender & server. She was incredibly friendly, attentive & made custom cocktails for us based on our preferences. Each one was spot on! We also really appreciated that the kitchen was able to accommodate my husband's celiac without any issue. Great food, great drinks & even better service :)

Service was incredibly slow…. Awkwardly so. We considered getting up & leaving because we didn't think we would ever be served. Seated at the table 25mins before our drinks were served. Orders were taken about 10 mins later. Food started to arrive just after an hour & 15 mins at the table…. (We ordered apps & salads).
The main dining room wasn't even close to being full so it's not like they were overly busy.
They only want to give you 2 hrs per seating but took 75 mins to get us our food.
The restaurant was extremely loud to begin with but it was compounded by the fact that the front door kept being opened & closed as the staff went outside to serve people on the patio. Every time the door opened & closed it slammed with a bang due to the pressure differential.
I won't go back…there are just too many other, better choices out there. It seems that there is a huge drop off in hospitality between restaurants in the West Island & downtown Montreal.
service is great! while the spot is trendy & has a fun vibe, the layout is a bit strange with the tables quite close together. the food is fine, but nothing too special. lots of fun drink options!
Years ago, I was wandering the dessert, on the brink of total exhaustion & desperate for water. Among the dunes, I stumbled upon a lamp. I rubbed the lamp three times. Suddenly, a blue genie emerged from the lamp, smiling down at me. He said,'I will grant you three wishes.' My throat impossibly dry, I replied:'I only need one wish: for there to be an actually good restaurant in the West Island of Montreal.'
The genie winked at me & nodded his head. I was transported to Pointe-Claire village in front of a magical place: Lou's. The drinks were phenomenal, cocktails of such high quality you would think you were at a bar downtown. The beer tartare was exquisite; the atmosphere cozy; the vibes immaculate. Maybe it was a dream, or a mirage - but the memory of Lou's earns 5 stars regardless.

Went on a date with my wife & sat at the bar. We were nicely welcomed & well taken care of.
Special shout out to Jono & Halo for the great service! Food & drinks were delicious!
I recently celebrated a friend's birthday at Louis Restaurant & it was an unforgettable experience. The eggplant Parm was delicious accompanied by a couple of excellent entrées. The drinks menu offered something for everyone & we thoroughly enjoyed our selections.
What truly made the evening special was the warm & welcoming ambiance. The staff were incredibly friendly & attentive without being intrusive. They surprised my friend with a birthday dessert which added a lovely touch to the celebration.
Perfect for special occasions or casual dining alike!
My friends & I ate there recently & the staff & food were amazing! Everyone was so kind & attentive, the decor was phenomenal & most importantly, the food was to die for. Highly recommend getting the tuna carpaccio & half chicken! Also need to mention the perfectly curated drink menu. The cocktails were great & the wine selection was very unique & clearly made with a lot of thought!
So so obsessed with this restaurant. The pasta was absolutely phenomenal. The fries & drinks were also delicious, as well as the oysters. We had Simon as our waiter & he was so kind & attentive. The service was also very quick. The restaurant is quick small so you are very close to your neighbour, which we did not mind at all. Would recommend to anyone & will definitely be coming back!

Great restaurant with impressive drinks. Had dinner on a Thursday night & every plate we shared was delicious. A good overall vibe inside, right level of music, & did not feel rushed. I will be back.
We had an amazing experience at Lou's! Our waitress & barmaid, Nadya, was incredibly helpful & attentive. She guided us through both the drinks & food menu with expertise, making excellent recommendations that truly enhanced our dining experience. Her friendly demeanor & knowledge made us feel welcome & well cared for. The food was delicious, & the drinks were perfectly crafted. We can't wait to return!
Heard good things about the restaurant so decided to try it when family was in town. Table of four sat at around 6pm. Greeted & seated right away but no drinks order taken for 10 minutes (we did get water). Eventually got drinks & gave our appetizer order (brioches & 12 oysters) & mains at the same time. Drinks were excellent although beer selection was poor due to lack of options. Then time slowed down, a table of 6 & 3 seated got seated near us. The table of 3 got their appetizers & mains before us & the table of 6 their appetizers. We ordered nothing that would indicate long wait times nor did the staff let us know of any delays. We had to ask were our appetizers where after 40 minutes but once they arrived were great, no issues! Brioche was excellent as was the butter & you can't really mess up oysters. We added fries to our order as they looked great on other tables. Received main meals at 1940, so 90 minutes after we arrived & a good 70-75 minutes after we ordered. One issue we had was partially our fault as the sea bass had a dairy based sauce & we never stipulated that the individual ordering it had a dairy allergy. They refired the meal & had it out in 8 minutes so great service there. Overall, meals were great, the demi poulet/chicken had some weird kale confection that was unappealing but the chicken itself was excellent. The eggplant parm & the seabass were very good choices. Not the best but very well done by any standard. We didn't complain but the restaurant was proactive & did comp us for some drinks & the fries stating that the service was not up to their standard. It would have been nice to have the delay(s) acknowledged before the bill arrived, but we did appreciate them acknowledging the fact the service was poor. Can't say we would ever go back & likely our bad experience was a one off but given the prices are a tad high for what they offer, I can't see us coming back
Very very very strong addition to the west island! Probably the strongest in my book. Packed on tuesday night (Says a lot), great food (highly recommend the aged steak), great drinks & make sure not to skip the homemade dessert (Awesome!). Koodos to the whole team, doing a great job!
