The menu is everything you need nothing you don’t. It’s a traditional establishment, short wine glasses and all. Staff were very personable. I was at Chez Lulu as a favor to a friend, you see my party was on a stakeout for her first Hinge date. We ended up sending them a crème brûlée, which I was told was fabulous. Anywho, it is the perfect date night/stakeout spot.

A true neighborhood jewel. Feels like stepping into a cozy, bohemian French street-café: warm light, bursts of color, savory smells, cheerfully crowded with hand-crafted artwork. I imagine it’s like stepping into a painting. Wishing I could give more stars for atmosphere. Inviting year-round whether for a date, a reunion with an old friend, an evening out, or a decadent bite all to one’s self. You can also host a party or get-together there!
The cuisine is pretty,...

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.
