Lulu le Bistrot

Lulu le Bistrot is a lively bistrot on the Île de Nantes, a few steps from the Machines, that champions straightforward, generous cooking without pretension. The service team places generosity and rigour at the heart of every sitting, aiming to put pleasure first. It is recognised by the Michelin Guide as a selected address. The dining room designed by Nathalie Rouger blends Parisian bistrot, Lyonnais bouchon and popular bouillon codes in a contemporary, elegant manner. High ceilings, metal arches, mosaic floors, a graphic bar and warm wood and brass touches create a carefully finished warm atmosphere. The kitchen serves traditional French bistrot cooking with a concise, seasonal menu that honours the product, emphasises correct cooking and evolves between lunch and dinner services. Under the direction of Michelin‑starred chef Ludovic Pouzelgues, the restaurant realises his long‑held dream to run a relaxed, convivial table. Specialties include œufs mimosa, crispy pork belly and fondant veal sweetbreads served with rich sauces and well‑reduced jus. A curated wine list of ≈100 French references ranges from natural discoveries to bottles for sharing, encouraging convivial discovery.
