“very nice food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

It's not as cheap as say Lazuli's - but the food is also very good indeed. Don't eat in the hotels when places like this are so nearby!

“Fantastic rock lobster”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

I ate here with a friend in February 2012 during Sauti za Busara. The staff was very attentive and friendly towards us and the decor was very creative. My rock lobster was amazing and was paired very well with the prawn bisque. My friend's crab pasta had a great flavour and lots of crab meat. We finished with the passion mousse. It was fantastic - we raved about it for weeks afterwards!

“Very confused”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

We ate lunch at a Lou Lou restaurant in Stone Town. Just popped in on walk by. This one was street level, no view, rather plain but also Belgian owned by two brothers as far as I remember.
Otherwise don't sounds like the one the others are talking about.
Anyway the food was delicious and very reasonable. I ate homemade linguini with a crab sauce. The best meal I had in East Africa. The service was impeccable.

“Love LouLou”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012

We went inside entirely because my name is Lou, and the staff absolutely loved it, calling me by name all night and giving us tonnes of attention. The food was lovely, really high quality, and the house wine is great. The prices are a little high, but then it is in Stone Town.
I'd recommend it if you want something a little different to Zanzibarian/Swahili food, as it's not like that at all - lovely Belgian food.

“LOULOU EXCELLENT RESTAURANT in Stone Town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

In October 2012 we enjoyed frequently a very good lunch or dinner in Loulou Restaurant Belgian Cuisine.
The location is quite OK on the main tourist street: Old Post Office Road.
The menu is quite attractive, a blend of local Zanzibari cuisine revisited by George a Belgian Chef.
The place is quiet, nicely decorated, discrete a/c, discrete music., no negligence.
The food à la Carte is very refined, far away of all what the heavy stuff we experienced in Stone Town. It's not a fast food like many places: it's quality.
To be recommended.
