Fantastic brunch! We had multiple diners with food allergies and the staff was very helpful in guiding us and keeping us safe at the same time! Haley was amazing!

Crab cake Napoleon
Tami D.

Fun brunch spot for a filling Louisiana breakfast. We started with a Bloody Mary and Poinsettia mimosa. If you want a showstopper, get the Bloody Mary. It came full-on Southern-style with a slice of celery and carrot, crisp bacon, lemon and lime wedges, and two blue cheese olives. After tasting the Mary, the poinsettia mimosa was bland and barely cool. We then splashed out with the pimiento cheese and biscuit platter. I thought the prosciutto that was mentioned would be sliced on the side. I noticed it was served that way at the next table. Our platter ended up being a plate and minus the prosciutto, it was just okay. Next, we split the Crab Cake Napoleon. If you're from out of town, get ready for a big meal with this one. Everyone loves it and in my opinion, it really represents Louisiana cuisine. There's a blue crab cake on top of a grit cake and it's smothered with a shrimp cream sauce that is just beautiful. Good luck eating it all. After that, we elected not to have dessert but a sample of their blueberry goat cheese pancakes. If you like pancakes, you'll love how fluffy these are. Service was great but I would expect to wait since it's well situated along the lakefront.

Omelette

We had just a short walk from our place and we were impressed. Great service and great food. We did not know that we were going to get so much food. The stuffed pancake was amazing and my omelette was very tasty also. We finished only half of each so they were still excellent for breakfast the next day. We also stopped in again before we left the area for home. This time we shared a meal and had plenty to eat.

This place is so delicious! Perfect location if you want to walk around after on the lakefront! Breakfast is phenomenal! The vibe is amazing and every single time I've been here it's been such a good experience!

Nice understated Northshore ambiance at LaLou in Mandeville.

Visited LaLou in Mandeville this morning for a late breakfast with my wife and enjoyed it. LaLou is pleasantly situated in a vintage house a couple of blocks off the lakefront and exudes a certain Southern harm. Service was friendly and welcoming, although a little slow. I had the eggs, biscuit and gravy with special LaLou grits and my wife had pancakes. All were good. With a very good breakfast and lunch menu, LaLou is worth a visit.

The food at Lalou was delicious! I wanted to order Everything on the menu! When you walk in or wait outside, (because it's such a popular place)you will be greeted by the owner and treated like family by All! This place is So special, an absolute treasure!

Awesome yogurt and muffin
Pete D.

We were 4 that arrived at La Lou. This is a quaint home that was converted to serve breakfast/brunch. And wow, it was fantastic. They do not hold back on the appropriate veggies for the Bloody Mary. Our daughter in law ordered pancakes. It filled the dish where you couldn't even see the plate. Not being too hungry I ordered a cup of yogurt with fruit. It was mostly fruit mixed with yogurt. On the side they served a warm muffin consisting of chocolate and cappuccino - Wow. We strongly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing food! We had to come to breakfast twice because it was so wonderful. Cozy, intimate nooks or outdoors tables-every seat you feel like a winner. Great service both days for breakfast! Visit this charming spot in Historic Mandeville for a taste of Southern.

Simple breakfast plate & short stack
Michaela M.

Such a gem in the cutest area! I love the building as it makes you feel like you're in their home, the service was quick and very friendly, and the food was delicious! Their grits were amazing. Highly recommend if you're in the area! A plus -- they have wifi and outdoor seating too.

Food is always great. If you like salads and wear yoga pants then you are already eating here…read more Staff is great and casual. Spent years coloring on the butcher paper with the kids waiting for the food to come.

I didn't have the greatest experience here for my first time. I came here on a Sunday morning…read moreduring Labor Day weekend. We gave ourselves an hour and a half, enough time to eat and get to our next planned and scheduled event that day. So, we weren't in a rush. We get in the quickly moving line to order our food at the counter. I order a salmon bagel and the hubs ordered a meatball ciabatta. We sit down and I noticed it is a very busy place. It is a very large place and I noticed how clean everything was and how efficient all the workers were at getting the food out. One after the other, food was coming out like an assembly line and the food looked good, too. But the assembly line apparently stopped, no orders were coming out, and we waited about 20 or 25 minutes. At least we had our drinks because it is a counter service type establishment. We noticed stacks and stacks of 'to go' orders were being placed in the counter area. After nearly 35 or 40 minutes we get our food. Some guy had ordered a 'football teams' worth amount of food. So, although it was not the restaurant's fault, it was frustrating the timing that our order was f course put in right after the guy that ordered 20 dishes. I get my bagel to try to eat quickly, since now we are in a little bit of a rush. And the bagel couldn't have been more complicated to eat. I just wanted a complete lox bagel but it was a deconstructed bagel where I had to put the thing together. I would have enjoyed the meal a little better had my bagel been properly served, like for example, the way Flour Moon serves their bagels to customers. I don't know if we will be back because I rarely visit the Northshore, this was a special occasion. I guess if I do come back, I would like to try one or two of the desserts from the case. Those looked really good.

i got bit but besides that food yummy gotta get breakfast there it is so delicious. i don't mind…read morebeing bit i would go back again just a little itchy.

Let me start by saying that I have NEVER left a bad review before, but I was genuinely shocked by…read morehow my 3-year-old and I were treated during our visit. The most concerning issue was that the waitress brought my child a cup of milk that was clearly spoiled. The milk had large curdled clumps, a watery separation, a thick and slimy texture, and a strong sour smell. I kindly asked her to take it back and did not even request a replacement. Her only response was being visibly annoyed and offended by me asking that. Bear in mind that this came after several other issues with this server. We waited about 10 minutes for silverware, during which time my child ate most of his meal with his hands and my food became cold. During all that time, she was waking past us bringing other people silverware and replenishing their drinks, and engaging in casual chat with customers. Three items we ordered were never brought out, and I had to ask for each one separately and repeatedly. When I asked about the French fries she never brought out, she gave me dismissive response that they were included in our meal, and then visually inspected our plates to confirm they were not there. She then brought out a plate of cold, dry fries and placed it on the table without saying a word. The entire experience felt surreal! If owners are reading this, we visited on Saturday, 1/10/26 and were seated in the booth area. I do want to note that the tall girl at the front desk was incredibly kind, and I truly appreciated her for how sweet she was. Our negative experience was solely related to the girl who served us.
