We decided to…read morecheck this place out for lunch as they open quite late for dinner (7pm!) like many other French restaurants. As we came for lunch, they had special lunch set menu of either Entree (appetizer) + Plat (main entree) AND/OR dessert for a set price. The Plat of the day was Sea Bream and their grill of the day was a sirloin steak for an extra €2. We got both plus their magret (duck breast). This meal got two choices of sides, which we chose mashed potatoes and seasoned vegetables, and a sauce which we chose creamy mushroom. The portions were HUGE. For the price we're getting for lunch, it was a steal. The magret was delicious - just missing a bit of flavor in my opinion. Maybe pepper which was on the side? But perfectly cooked. My mom loved the mashed potatoes as she was getting a bit sick of chips (fries) LOL. The seasoned vegetables were soooo good. So much flavor rather than just the normal steamed broccoli we've been having. The sirloin was definitely missing a lot of flavor. I don't think it was seasoned as there was salt and pepper on the table to add to it. But there was a sauce we weren't sure of to give it some flavor. The sea bream was sauced nicely, but was quite heavy in my opinion. The presentation of it was beautiful though. Potato chips, whole potato and flavored mashed potatoes? all in one dish with the fish. Yum! I enjoyed the mashed potatoes? a lot. The restaurant also provided complimentary bread AND small canned pork pate. Nowhere else we've been gave complimentary pate. My mom and boyfriend LOVED it so much that we asked the server where this could be bought to bring back to friends and family. She was able to give us extra before we left and inform us where to buy more! So nice of her and the owner! Overall, I feel like this was a nice experience. The workers here were very friendly, and the food was good and beautifully presented.

We did our usual Yelp'ing to find this place and here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right in the midst of what feels like a maze of stone walkways is this gem. Le Michel's has a very recognizable red/white striped awning that will shield you from the scattered showers that seem to wash over the city this time of the year. The inside was packed, but like many of the other cafés around Bordeaux, there's only a few tables inside then quite a few outside. Dining outdoors in France is just a MUST-DO. We sat outside at the circular tables made for 2 and got rained on a couple of times, but the staff mashed us together with some other friendly diners and all was well. Lol. Service: Our server was so sweet and made our dining experience wonderful. She catered to us, made sure we stayed dry, got us moved and just did the absolute most for us. We are forever grateful. Food: Of course we had some white wine from Bordeaux, but to start our meal off we got an order of Gravlax Salmon. Gravlax or graved salmon is a Nordic dish consisting of salmon that is cured using a mix of salt and sugar, with either dill or spruce twigs placed on top. On top of it was a white, creamy, cold, cucumber-y-like sauce that reminded my tzatziki sauce. Putting the salmon onto the complimentary bread then applying the sauce on top makes for an absolutely Heavenly experience. The neutral tasting bread helps cut the powerful flavors of the salmon and the sauce down a bit this making them all work together a bit better. For my entrée I went with the Magret De Canard which is the duck breast. OMG. This was INCREDIBLE. First of all, the presentation was amazing. I don't even know how they cooked it, but the outside was crispy, but not crunchy. The inside was cooked to perfection, super juicy, tender and FULL of flavor. My goodness. The mashed potatoes were an excellent complement to the duck breast. Value: Awesome! The Gravlax Salmon as only 9.00€ and our duck breasts were 19€ a piece. EXCELLENT value for the quality of food we had here. In conclusion, this place was amazing and I loved it. Thank you so much to Bae for finding this place and to Le Michel's for dealing with us while we were getting rained on. Lol. Check this place out if you're in the area.

Fortunately, at the time there was only two other tables taken on the patio. By the time we finished our meal the place was packed. I'm very happy we followed our guides advice! Our meal was fantastic. We had an appetizer, followed by my duck and my wife's fish courses. The duck came with green beans and prunes in a wonderful sauce. For dessert, I had what was probably the best chocolate mousse of my life. It contained chunks of butterscotch and was finished with a carmel sauce. The mousse itself was so rich. I was in heaven. My wife had a strawberry meringue dessert. It was good but my mousse was better. They have a small dining room and a pretty large patio on the street. Ha ha, actually the patio is across the small street. So it was entertaining watching the very efficient waiters work their way across to take care of the diners. I highly recommend LouLou. You won't be disappointed!

It's bright and cheery, much like the greeting we received when we walked in the door. Since their fixed brunch menu had everything we wanted to try we ordered one and shared. The hummus toast was good and the pancakes had an unexpected spicy (hot) kick to it. The waffle was light and crispy and not overly sweet. My dining partner wanted to stave off any bug she may have picked up during her travels and opted for the ginger lemon water. It wasn't too strong but you could definitely taste the flavors. We can see why Suzi's is so popular. I would definitely go back to try other items on the menu.

The dessert was similarly not heavy or sugary but rather a light, slightly sweet cake Only awkward thing was that to get dessert you kinda have to walk inside to see what they have and then they cleared our silverware/water when we went to go inside to order dessert. Maybe there's some other way to do this but certainly nobody communicated this to us so did have to then wait for another set of silverware and more water. Would definitely return!
