The location of LouLou is a little tucked away and thus it is rather under frequented. It is also slightly more pricey but a very nice place. I have ended many an evening with a delicious belgian chocolate mousse here, the passionfruit mousse is also excellent

The temperature was about 90F and the humidity about the same. Then we walked in to LouLou's. Ahhhhh! Best airconditioning in Africa. Had a lovely Kili beer and returned for dinner. Not so great food, sorry to say. But definitely worth a stop for the ambience and the temperature. The owner was very friendly also.

As with many of the other reviewers, I was looking for a nice *cool* place to have lunch. LouLou restaurant was just what I needed! Not busy (surprisingly) and had a lovely lunch in the air conditioning. My friend and I ordered the shrimp croquettes and the seafood pasta. Both were delicious. However, my favorite item was the complimentary amuse--a... More

I didn't get to eat here because I was sick from eating something from the Gardens. Won't try that again! But my husband and son happened on it as they were looking for a place with air conditioning. They wanted me to write a review because they were very happy with their dinner here and thought it was good food... More

Had lunch at Lou Lou yesterday. Beef stroganoff with fries. Partner had vegetable pasta. Both were delicious. Had a nice chat about local politics with the manager who's from US. Restaurant is upscale and for Stone Town service was quite good. Lunch for two with wine was $38.

I chose LouLou because I was looking for a place to eat lunch that was air conditioned. Very nice "Belgian style" menu that was well prepared and well presented. Although the place wasn't very busy, the service was excellent. Be sure to have desert.

Wanted to go here on Valentine's day to have the beef strongenoff since it's one of my favorite dishes. Restaurant was packed, but I was quickly seated and offered a glass of wine. Took nearly 30 mins for me to cool off as heat inside restaurant was nearly as bad as outside. Would have been exceptional to be offered a... More

On Saturday evening of the Busara festival, we got a table for 6 and great food. Lots of people, good atmosphere, nicely decorated, maybe a bit noisy, but otherwise perfect!

I had a lunch of pasta with a sauce of grilled tomatoes and eggplant which was nicely flavoured with garlic, cashew nuts, olive oil and fresh rosemary. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce delicious. What came next however was the real winner - the Belgian chocolate mousse. This was deliciously creamy, made of good quality dark chocolate and... More
