French Restaurant Celebrates One Year in Santa Monica

The Celebration Drew Food Enthusiasts, Delighted Patrons, Renowned Influencers, and Notable Personalities

LouLou, the French culinary haven in the heart of Santa Monica which opened in the former Sonoma Wine Garden space, recently marked its inaugural anniversary with a celebration. 

The event drew food enthusiasts, delighted patrons, renowned influencers, and notable personalities to join in the festivities, according to a Restaurant News Release. Florence and Erik Chol, the owners, shared, “Commencing celebrations for a first anniversary is an extraordinarily enchanting and heartening experience. Life’s journey is punctuated with moments both grand and modest, all worthy of celebration. Here’s to the anticipation of numerous forthcoming joyful moments and commemorations within LouLou’s ongoing journey.”

Perched atop the iconic Route 66 on the rooftop deck of Santa Monica Place, LouLou, boasts decor characterized by delicate, natural materials, and lush greenery. At its culinary core lies the renowned French-Mediterranean cuisine, infused with Californian flavors, crafted by Chef Stanislav Suchy.

The concept for LouLou began when Erik and Florence Chol traveled to Los Angeles and visited Santa Monica Place. Eight years later, a realtor suggested the now LouLou location.

Prominent menu items include buttery escargot, lobster linguine, steak with Frites, specialty cocktails including the Saint Tropez Rosé Spritz and the ‘Oui’ which includes Union mezcal with cucumber and fire water, Salad Nicoise (a specialty of Nice), Californian Caesar salad, beef Tartare, the Buckwheat pancake, homemade pasta ranging from lobster to pesto and three-day proof dough pizza.

LouLou also offers evening events and brunches with DJs, various artists and handpicked music.
