"...Lulu makes every diner feel like an honored guest and old friend."

"Everything about this place begs you to come in and relax. When I went in for breakfast, the restaurant was busy, but not overcrowded. My daughter and I were quickly greeted by Lulu and immediately well taken care of (as a side note, Lulu's is very kid-friendly - day or night)"

Customer Testimonials
What a unique feeling, entering Lulu's...her broad smile welcomes you, and the tantalizing smells from the kitchen and the lovely Parisian scenery painted upon the walls draw you inside. It is cozy spot – the coffee cups are all of different patterns, just like at home – but also an elegant one, where you can enjoy French music and the fresh roses or lilies that grace your table.

To dine at Lulu's is to allow yourself to be transported, if only for a short while, out of Orange County and into the heart of Paris!
- Dalia van den Boogaard

My husband and I found Lulu's one year ago. Ever since then we have been coming here every Saturday and Sunday without fail. Lulu's is a true treasure! My husband is picky and we both have an extremely high standard for good quality food. Lulu's rolls the quality, atmosphere, service and amazing food all into a wonderful experience. We recommend Lulu's to everyone to enjoy this great value.

We come to Lulu's because it is one of the few places we can go where you are always welcome. It doesn't take long before you become one of the family members.

When you enter Lulu's you feel you have traveled to Paris without the "Jet Lag." Lulu's personally greets every customer, whether new or old. The food is served hot and as you ordered it. The prices are more than reasonable. Take a mini trip to Paris - Go to Lulu's.

We have been eating at Lulu's restaurant for years because it is a home away from home, the food is great as well as the prices and the hospitality is excellent.

I come to Lulu's because of the friendly atmosphere and great food. My wife and I have been enjoying Lulu's at least once a week for the last two years and recommend that everyone should try it.

Why Lulu's? Lulu of course! Lulu is a terrific host & works to get to know each of her customers personally. There is a small town feeling when you enter Lulu's restaurant. And the food? the best hollandaise sauce on the planet, big portions, a French influence with American appetites, and a great family place. Lulu brings toys to the table & hugs my kids hello.
- Laura Rath

What a warm, cozy, at home feeling we get when dining at Lulu's. We love it so much we come every day! If we miss a few days - Lulu & Jean-Paul worry about us and welcome us back with warm hugs and a delicious meal. She offers us fresh warm croissants in the morning - and always has yummy desserts from Jean-Paul's extensive experience as a Master Chef. Lulu even helps our high-school-age daughter with French lessons! Viva Lulus! We love it here!

Lulu's vivacious personality makes a complete dining experience.
- Sari & Michael Weinberg

Dining at Lulu's is like being in the French country side. Indoors or out on the lovely patio is truly a French experience...the atmosphere is warm and friendly and the prices are right. You will enjoy the outstanding French food. Lulu greets each patron as you would an old friend. This is a real treasure of a restaurant.
- Joan Cameron

I love Lulu's - It reminds me of my happy 6 weeks I spent in Paris & the Dordogne Valley in France. Lulu makes us very welcome with her friendly, warm personality. Jim likes the French music, he says it takes him back to his roots. We have never tried the dinners, but I have the breakfasts especially the Croissants which Lulu always brings me when we first sit down. Breakfasts are wonderful.

Chez Lulu's Crepes bring back memories of my beloved Paris. You can be sure to find me there often. Vive La France

Welcome to Lulu's for it its warm, friendly atmosphere and fabulous food. Lulu has a great sense of humor and always makes us feel like family. With love
- Matt & Sharon Ormond

My husband and I both come from Europe so it is a little bit of home to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere. The greetings are always there when you arrive which makes you feel like part o f the family, even our dog enjoys it. He comes all the time and if it is raining and he has to stay in the car he cries. But all that aside, we come because the food is great always and the special event dinners are labor of love. We look forward to many more, and of course don't forget the music, also it gives Ben to practice his French. Haha. Continued success to you both, you both deserve it.
- Ben & Marrianne Luke

Charming. Gentle. Warm and cozy. Chez Lulu. The tastes are different. Delightful. Truly. The cook emerges from the kitchen with a huge, proud smile and wants me to taste his latest delicacy. He says it needs to simmer a little longer. The regulars look happy. French songs in the air. Just like when I grew up. I feel home. C'est la belle vie.
- Robert Schonker

I enjoy the feeling of family and friendship. The wonderful food and being able to have my meal outside. It's always a positive experience and I look forward to sharing a part of my day at Lulu's. You always made me feel important, welcome and appreciated. It's a great way to start your day.

Welcome to Lulu's to enjoy great food while feeling like home. Lulu's treats us like family as if we are surrounded by friends every time we come. Sunday breakfast is now a tradition for us.

I discovered Lulu's Cafe about 4 years ago. I had been looking for a place with good food and a good atmosphere. I thought I was on the right track when I received a warm greeting by Lulu and knew I found the place when I tasted Jean Paul's cooking. Breakfast at Lulu's is now a weekend tradition and lunch and dinner are always a treat.
