Great service, nice location, good place for walking after breakfast. Free parking if you are in and out before 9AM (including Sundays). Two kinds of French Toast, Three kinds of pancakes. Many omelets. Don't even think about ordering anything larger than the pancake no-stack. If you went up as high as the three stack I believe it could induce a... More

Surprised when I drove up because of the size. Came in and was greeted very well by the hostess. We sat at the food bar and watched the chef prepare our food. You MUST get the chowder- EXCELLENT! My wife and I split two meals to taste everything. Grilled sword & fish and chips. Meal was outstanding. Nothing negative to... More

Oh Yes it is, and than some. I was out on the wharf at Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, hungry as a bear (acuda) and saw this place just hanging onto the edge of the wharf! What the heck, I'm here, why not give them a try? I am so glad I did. This was one of the best breakfasts I... More

After a few days in San Fran and a couple more in Monterey eating just okay food at recommended restaurants and paying ridiculous amounts of money for a burger or egg or salad we finally found a good bargain and great food at Loulou's. We ate one dinner and one breakfast. This is an old bait shack so it is... More

This was our second trip to Lou Lou's and it did not disappoint! I had the Seafood Reef Rider omelet which was so amazingly good! My wife had the Popeye omelet which was awesome as well. If you love food hot from the griddle, try what my son had: the pancake. Bring a big appetite because the cake was the... More

Relatives of ours who live in Monterey turned us on to LouLou's, otherwise we never wouldhave found it. Mind you, the place is small, so if you have to wait for a table, it is well worth the wait! We had breakfast, and the food was good, and it was a nice addition to our Monterey experience.

You have to stop here for breakfast, it's the best! Staff is always friendly. It's a very small place with some outside eating, so you may have to wait, but it's worth it. It's right on the commercial wharf, so it has great scenery. We also had a carryout lunch one afternoon, since we were sitting on the nearby beach.... More

My wife and I really like to go to the smaller and local places and when we got here, we really knew we had made a good decision The place is small and cozy and not at all pretentious but the food is incredibly good and well prepared. We had the tuna sandwich (still cant forget it, it was awesome!!),... More

We are locals and just recently decided to try LouLou's for dinner. We'd been there for breakfast and lunch and to be honest, really liked it, but the smallness of this didn't really entice us to go for dinner! There's a group of five of us, sometimes six, that go out a little too much, and we decided to bite... More

This is a must eat in Monterey! Food is so incredibly good! And all the staff are so friendly and fun! We loved it so much going there for our first breakfast in Monterey, we went right back the next morning. I would have to say it was the best food I ate during my whole stay there. I had... More
