Cafe Lou Lou in the Highlands NOW OPEN - NOW WITH WINE LIST

Yes! We got open a day early!

That's right, folks, the day we've been waiting for has finally arrived - Cafe Lou Lou in the Highlands is finally open!

We can't wait to meet all the folks that live in the neighborhood and welcome our regulars from the original Lou Lou as well. Reservations are strongly suggested for this weekend (we had a waiting list already). The phone number is 459-9566. Cafe Lou Lou in the Highlands will be open seven days a week, for both lunch and dinner.

Marsha, congrats to you and Clay and everyone involved. I'll pop in some afternoon after the rush.
Are you going to be at the Highlands store now? I know it is so much closer to home.

No! I will still be working out of St. Matthews, supplying desserts to both. Yes, the new store is closer to where I live, but on the other hand, the old store is closer to where I work - AND closer to the old Sears building.

Great American list, especially the two Jolly Pumpkin bottles.

Since I know it's not near the old Sears, what is the address of the new location?

It's 2216 Dundee Rd (commonly called "The Loop" or "Douglass Loop") off Douglass in the Highlands. Going southwest on Bardstown Road, bear right at Twig and Leaf. It's in the Loop Mall, formerly The Loop Deli, formerly Heitzman's Bakery, formerly Splendid Fare Deli & Catering. Near the former Dundee Candy Shop space. Right behind Graeter's and Desserts by Helen, near the loop Heine Bros. Coffee. It's right next to the Pink Door on the corner. There is a giant parking area in the rear, with access to the restaurant from there.

I know exactly where that is but I think I'm lost

I stopped by the new Cafe Lou Lou location on Saturday and they were pretty busy at 6:00. Tried one of the new menu items, black bean lasagna, and it was great.

Slightly spicy and nice flavor combinations. Service was as good as expected.

Just got back from lunch. I had the black bean lasagna. It was awesome!!! Can't wait to go back...again and again.

Yes, the new store is closer to where I live, but on the other hand, the old store is closer to where I work - AND closer to the old Sears building.

Hilarious!

Here's the current wine list for Cafe Lou Lou in the Highlands - and, yes, we are having half-price bottles of wine on Wednesdays at the new location (and today's Wednesday!). Disclaimer: I know at the original location we have like three of the priciest bottles on reserve, i.e., not available for half price on Wednesdays like everything else, so it may be that a couple of these bottles are NOT available at half-price on Wednesdays, but I can't tell you which ones right now. When I find out for sure I'll edit this post.

(and: ?? what's ALS?)

Marsha? Your "The Devil's in the Details Devil Food Chocolate Cake" is fantastic. Not that I've had it twice this week at the Loop or anything.

Here's the current wine list for Cafe Lou Lou in the Highlands

Looks like a really nice list, Marsha. Good variety. I'd be interested to know some of the prices ...

(and: ?? what's ALS?)

Alsace. Northeastern France, on the Rhine River, a frequent prize of war that has gone back between the French and the Germans many times. Lots of German family names there (note the spelling of Trimbach, by the way, which should end with an H rather than a K) and hearty German food. The wines are very different from the rest of France or from Germany. Mostly whites, very rich and full-bodied. Interesting stuff.
