This is my partners favorite restaurant, it is absolutely delicious and there are few better places to eat in Birmingham. The biggest drawback of this place is the food is so good, that it is incredibly popular.

My husband and I adore Chez Lulu! With the French influence, fresh ingredients, and amazing service, this has become a staple for date night. It is always the top of recommendations to out-of-town friends and family. If you haven’t experienced the charm of Chez Lulu, make plans to do so sooner than later, and be transported to a quaint European experience.

My girlfriend and I arrived from out of town last night and called last minute to see if we can get a reservation, and the owner said “come on down, we’ll be happy to have you!” We adored this place, from the decor to the friendly service, and of course the food. The heirloom tomatoes were in season, so definitely get the tomato sandwich (trust me it’s so good) and the savory crepe from the appetizers. The story of how the restaurant came to be was interesting as well...
