Café Lilou

A Delightful Experience! I was really impressed by the quality of the food—everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The portion sizes were generous, especially considering the reasonable prices. I also loved the charming French-inspired interior; it added a cozy and elegant touch to the dining experience. To top it off, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious — perfectly prepared with just the right crunch and flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant — and try the lasagna bites! The decor is also lovely, with a cute Victorian French theme, and the menu offers a little bit of everything.

If it wasn't for the friendly and accommodating service from the FOH team, this place would struggle to get a single star. We came here for breakfast after looking at all their high reviews, but I'm convinced they're all rigged. The food came out cold. Eggs were cold and literally pre-cooked. Croissant was stale. You can tell them none of the food were cooked to order. Not to mention the coffee. Easily one of the worst we've had in Bahrain. I'm convinced they'd forgot the coffee as it was all milk. Then we made another mistake by ordering the cake. Just like the croissant, old and stale. Would we be back? Nope. Would we recommend to others? Nope.

A Delightful Morning at Cafe Lilou, Bahrain My recent breakfast experience at Cafe Lilou in Bahrain was nothing short of delightful. From the moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of elegant charm. The decor was sophisticated and inviting, creating a truly lovely ambiance to start the day. My order consisted of a classic Eggs Benedict, a side of perfectly toasted bread, and their tempting hotcakes accompanied by a generous array of fresh berries and their signature buttery spread. To complete the meal, I opted for a simple black coffee. I'm pleased to report that every element of my breakfast was delicious. The Eggs Benedict were executed flawlessly, with perfectly poached eggs and a rich, velvety hollandaise sauce. The toasted bread was crisp and provided a satisfying contrast in texture. However, the real star of the show might have been the hotcakes. They were light and fluffy, and the combination of the sweet berries and the incredibly moreish signature buttery spread was simply divine. Even the black coffee was well-brewed and robust, providing the perfect caffeine kick. Beyond the exceptional food, what truly elevated my experience was the attentiveness of the staff. From the moment I was seated until I left, they were consistently friendly, efficient, and readily available without being intrusive. This level of service was undoubtedly a major plus for Cafe Lilou and significantly contributed to the overall positive impression.

If you’re hungry, this is definitely the place to go! The food is rich, delicious, and tasty and the breakfast is always fantastic! Coffees and desserts and unique and elegant. Great location, and if you’re going during the week you shouldn’t have any issues with finding parking. Weekends are busy and recommend taking an uber or using the parking garage.

Happened to step in for lunch and was impressed by the attention to detail and the high level of service displayed by the staff. The service was top notch as they made sure to give us their recommendations and explained the dishes with no trace of frustration whatsoever. Kudos! The portion was ample and the quality of the food was impeccable. The variety of drinks offered is also worth mentioning. The ambiance is so lively and the vibes is certainly lit. Highly recommend this spot if you are looking for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner.

Very nice French café. They serve breakfast until late. Beautiful Parisian-style decorations with French music. I will come back if I come back to Bahrain. Situated in a very beautiful and popular area Block 338.

A charming spot with a beautifully classic and vintage ambiance that instantly makes you feel at ease. We tried the “Zadig” and “La Joie du Matin” dishes along with some tea, everything was freshly made, rich in flavor, and absolutely delicious. The presentation was also lovely, and the service matched the warm and elegant setting. A wonderful place to relax and enjoy a refined breakfast or brunch.
