New Rooftop Restaurant in Santa Monica Channels the Breezy Vibes of Ibiza | Eater LA

"On the rooftop of Santa Monica Place (395 Santa Monica Place, unit 100), I found a new French-Californian restaurant and lounge that brings ocean views and garlicky escargots; the open, breezy design—influenced by husband-and-wife owners Erik and Florence Chol's travels to Ibiza, Bali, and Mykonos—is outfitted with lots of potted greenery, neutral tones, wicker chandeliers, candlelit tables, light wood, and deep cream-colored sofas. The menu features gruyere-topped onion soup; a handful of pastas including a lobster-studded linguine; three-day-proofed pizzas; shareable boards like a grand aioli; and dinner entrees such as duck confit and steak frites, while weekend brunch offers pizzas and French classics like croque-madame, quiche Lorraine, and a galette with ham, egg, and gruyere. LouLou is open Monday through Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Thursday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to midnight, and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m." - Eater
