Louie offers a charming French dining experience with "super welcoming" staff and "delicious" food. Highlights include the butternut risotto, mezcal martini, and Celeriac Pastrami.

    We had an amazing experience yesterday at Louie. The food was excellent as were the staff. They really were super welcoming, very friendly and professional. We were a table of 12 and everyone said how good the day was. We had Group Sharing Menu A - would highly recommend.

    Lovely service from Gloria and expertly crafted cocktail—the mezcal martini was a standout. The food had a beautiful balance of flavours, leaving me satisfied without feeling overly full. The Celeriac Pastrami was a highlight—lovely and creamy, making for a fantastic vegan option. A delightful experience overall!

    Very bad service, sold out items on the menu on a Saturday evening, not worth it.

    Risotto undercooked, explained at the time but not taken off bill. Pointless langoustines in a difficult to eat pot pork dish. Starters were nice but the standard has gone hugely downhill in the last year. Nice drinks but not worth anywhere near £250 for 2 people."
