Great Sunday Brunch 9/29/2008

My friends and I tried Lulu?s for brunch on Sunday ? and it was hopping!!! We had to wait about 15 minutes to get a table --- it was WELL WORTH IT! We had the eggs benedict, an omelet they call the ?Zorba? (a Greek omelet filled with feta cheese and Kalamata olives), a ?Mission? crepe (Southwestern topped avocados), and the ?Sicilian? (Italian with sausage). I think I now need to go back to try them all! If you go on Sunday, be prepared for a wait ? the place is really popular on the week-ends! We thought it was well worth the few minutes wait. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The coffee was ?bottomless? --- and delicious! I asked and found out it was Dietrich?s coffee --- very good!!! Now I know why I miss Dietrich?s. Pros: Great food, service, and decor Cons: Slight wait during week-end brunch times more

Awesome Restaurant 9/27/2008

We have been coming to Lulu's Creperie Cafe for several years now, and we love this place. We go for a quiet evening of wine, food, and entertainment. It is quaint -- family-owned, and the owner comes out to check to make sure everything is to our satisfaction. Our favorite foods include the Osso Bucco, Salmon, and, of course -- the crepes! At the end of out meal, we usually have a scoop of their homemade ice cream on top their very best dessert crepe --- the "Irish". The Irish has Bailey's Irish Cream in it -- topped with carmelized bananas and fresh strawberries. They have added excellent entertainment as well on the week-ends --- currently they have a jazz singer who is worth the trip to hear! All in all, a great experience! Pros: Crepes, Homemade French Vanilla Ice Cream, Entertainment Cons: None that we know of! more

Wow - Great Dinner AND Entertainment! 9/27/2008

We visited Lulu's Creperie Cafe for dinner on Friday evening this week and were treated to the most memorable jazz singer over dinner. It was incredible! My husband and I went with several friends and stayed on just to continue to hear the performance. We had the most incredible frog's legs (where can you get those in Orange County???) that were so authentic, we thought we were back in France! The Coq au Vin was delicious as was the Sweetbreads (wow!) Oh, for dessert, we had profiteroles with the most delicious homemade ice cream! The profiteroles alone were worth the trip. The service was perfect. We love this place --- a new favorite for us! Pros: Food and entertainment more

Great family restaurant that caters to adult and children's palates! 12/4/2007

We ate several meals at Lulus on a recent trip to Southern California. My eleven year old son and seven year old daughter loved the sandwiches, crepes and breakfast. My husband and I enjoyed delicious sand dabs and French onion soup one night and we decided to have Thanksgiving dinner there as well. The meal exceeded our expectations. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality and the service is friendly and efficient. more

Adorable Restaurant and Delicious Food 11/29/2007

We are from Northern California and consider ourselves very discerning about food. I can tell you, we were totally BLOWN AWAY by the quality of the food at Lulu's Creperie Cafe!!! We are so grateful for the friends who recommended this restaurant to us during our stay. We must have eaten there daily during our recent trip. The crepes are some of the best we have ever had. We found out that the chef was one of the first to bring Brittany crepes to the West Coast over 30 years ago! They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The variety and the quality of the meals are outstanding. The decor is lovely --- it makes you forget you are in the heart of Orange County and can easily imaging yourself in the middle of the French countryside! Pros: Delicious Food Cons: Hard to find more

Great Food and Great Ambiance 11/4/2007

This is a great little restaurant with the best Brittany crepes I have tasted outside of France! However, they have many other choices as well --- the Salmon is another favorite of mine! The ambiance is delightful --- a romantic place to go at dinnertime! This listing is a duplicate --- it is now called Lulu's Creperie & Cafe --- just so you don't get confused! Pros: Great food, lovely decor Cons: Can be hard to find - inside a plaza more

Charming & Delicious --- all in one! 10/15/2007

My co-workers suggested I try this restaurant, so I went there this wek-end. It was lovely! I do not know how to describe the beautiful patio area. It has wisteria from the ceiling, hanging plants, fresh flowers on all the tables --- and is decorated right now for fall with colored leaves, etc. That is just the decor. Now for the food.... I had one of the crepes since I was told this was a specialty and my husband had the "American Breakfast" (yes, he can be boring!!!) Both were delicious (we shared)! The crepe was different from any other crepe you will ever try. The owner explained that it was made on a "Brittany crepe grill". It was large, very tender, and folded into quarters --- and covered with the most delicious sauce you will ever eat! Wow! I sat next to a lady who says she now comes there EVERY DAY for breakfast, and has now forgotten how to cook!!! My husband's breakfast consisted of large FLUFFY pancakes, the best sausage I have ever tasted, home fries, and 2 poached eggs (you can get the eggs anyway you like!). I think I will join the ranks of others at this restaurant and forget how to cook so we can come more often!!! This is a family-owned restaurant where they take the time to get to know you --- what a charmer! Pros: Great Food, Charming Decor, Great Service Cons: You might forget how to cook like some of their other patrons! more

Uninvited Guest! 10/15/2007

My husband and I heard through the grapevine that Lulu Cafe offers wonderful selection of breakfast and lunch menu so we decided to try it out. The first time we came was 2 weeks ago and had a good first impression of the place and the service it offered. So we came back again to try out different items just last weekend and were sat down at the outside patio table. As I was settling down on my seat and laying out the napkins on my laps, the corner of my eyes notice a moving 'little thing' against the wall under our table. Not in my dream I would have guessed that 'little thing' that was moving and nibbling was a 'TINY VERSION OF MickeyMouse'! Yes, you read it right! I'm not sure how important this piece of information sounds to you, but I know for sure I will never come back there again. Even though the staffs were trying to 'trap the creature' and assured us that because the seats were on the outside patio instead of being inside, it does not make it right for us as customers to see such things in an environment where sanitation should be the main concern. Also, the French door to the outside patio is always wide open, there is a great chance that there would be more than 1 of those creatures could be running around and get inside and who knows, perhaps in the kitchen. Anyhow, I would NOT recommend this place to anyone, unless you don't mind to run in an uninvited guest like I did! Cons: need i say more? more

We love this place! 7/29/2007

Lulu's has one of the best atmospheres of any cafe around! During the day, it is light and cheery, and the patio is perfect in all kinds of weather. We have been dining here for years, not only for the warm smiles and 'Bon Jour' that greet us, but also for the delicious and unique cuisine. While we enjoy indulging in the heavenly croissants, scrumptious crepes and amazing dinners, my frequent requirements for low-cal meals are easy to accommodate. Lulu's is a very special place, an oasis from the chain restaurants and predictable menus that have invaded the world of dining. For a meal at least, we feel that we're in Europe . . . tasty food, unhurried atmosphere, comfortable decor . . . nothing 'cookie-cutter' here! And if you come frequently, as we do, you'll soon find that you're one of the many 'regulars' who are blessed to feel at home here. Pros: Very friendly, bright & pretty, delicious food Cons: None more

Charming restaurant with great food 7/29/2007

I am a regular at Lulu's Cafe and I eat breakfast or lunch there several times per week. I simply love the Eggs Benedict and the Pain Perdu --- and I have recently added their wonderful crepes to my list of favorites!. They have a wide variety of both savory and sweet crepes that are simply scrumptous. The food would be enough to keep me coming back. However --- add to that the wonderful ambiance. The decor is LOVELY, and the atmosphere is like a "home away from home". If you remember the old TV Series, "Cheers" where "everyone knowns your name" --- that would describe Lulu's Cafe! However, instead of a bar, it is a quaint French restaurant. I hesitated at writing this --- because I do not want them to become too popular --- those of us who are regulars like having them all to ourselves! However, I guess it is time to share our wonderful little secret with the rest of Orange County! Pros: The atmosphere --- A French "Cheers" Cons: Cons? None for me! more

Great Food & Great Service 7/29/2007

We also read about Lulu's Cafe on Citysearch, and decided to try it late one Sunday evening. Even though we arrived near closing --- and were also young and wanted only an inexpensive meal --- we were treated like their most important guests! We had a wonderful time --- both food and service. We ordered the Cajun and Francaise crepes --- and they were the best we have had anywhere! We were also offered tastes of French cider and pastries by the owners. Since we wanted to sit and talk awhile, the owners stayed open for us. We talked with the owners and found they only have had the restaurant for 3 months, and are doing great things there. They are seeing continually increasing business --- and going through "growing pains" as they described it. We will definitely become one of their "new regulars"! Pros: Food and service --- a French version of "Cheers" Cons: None!!! more

EXTREMELY SLOW SERVICE-NOT SO GREAT FOOD 7/27/2007

We read great reviews about this restaurant and decided to try it for ourselves. We were seated right away but had to wait 20 mins to receive our menus. We noticed that the other middle-aged waitress had refused to even acknowledge us as she seemed to be more interested in helping out a 6-top table of middle aged group wine drinkers and etc vs helping out the rest of the crowd forcing the other waitress to single handle the entire restaurant herself causing the service to be extremely slow. We were there for another hour waiting for our food to arrive to where we finally asked for the food to go. We ordered the crepes and they were horrible, too salty, and not full of flavor. We were dissapointed by the service and the quality of the meal and it was really pricy for what it was. We also feel as though that middle-aged waitress had judged us immediately because we appear to be young and maybe have no money per say. We are regular customers of Taste of France in Huntington Beach where a wonderful meal is about 6 dollars average, the customer service is wonderful there, they occasionally give out free pastries and desserts to customers on their way out; the quiche, pastries, and crepes are also very flavorful. I would recommend this restaurant over Lulu's easily. Pros: Good bread Cons: Service, food, location more

Wonderful Dining Experience 7/24/2007

This is the place to enjoy fabulous food at very reasonable prices. The restaurant is tucked away in a small mini mall area. Once you walk in you feel like you are in Paris. The atmosphere is warm, cozy and charming. Don't let the name fool you; this restaurant has a large variety of menu options. The service is A+-- I was treated like royalty. This restaurant serves breakfast, lunch Tuesday-Sunday and dinner during the weekends. I began my dinner experience with an excellent salad and soup. My main entree was the filet mignon (Wow). I would compare it to a Ruth Chris Steak House. To end the meal I had an unbelievable fruit crepe with fresh raspberries and strawberries. What a fantastic dining experience it was. I hope to come back to this restaurant soon. My advise to anyone is you better go now and enjoy or later you will be waiting for a table. Pros: Food/Value/Service Cons: A little Hard to Find more

Best Brittany Crepes anywhere! 7/2/2007

This restaurant is a gem --- the crepes are the best I have tasted in Orange County. The week-end dinners feature excellent French cuisine at very affordable prices. Some of my favorites include the Sand Dabs in Lemon Caper Sauce, Scallops Pernod, and the Coq au Vin. The wines are excellent and very reasonably priced.. I would highly recommend it. Pros: The food -- the food --- the food Cons: None I could find more
