"Chef-owner Mailea Weger has cooked all over the world, from Los Angeles to Paris (where she opened another Lou in 2023). The idea behind Lou is an all-day café, somewhere you’d be comfortable for brunch, lunch, or dinner. The small, thoughtful menu changes by season, and is populated with fresh, light dishes. Mussels in tomato-chorizo broth, fennel bacon, and roasted or jerk chicken are examples of dishes that have popped up on the seasonal menu, complemented by natural wines. Baking is a strength of Weger and her team, so there are always fresh breads and cakes at the ready." - Margaret Littman
