Lou Lou Food & Drink: 6% back

With big city variety and small town prices, Lou Lou Food + Drink is the kind of place where you can kick-back, unwind, and enjoy a delicious meal. Here, they specialize in Italian and Mediterranean dishes influenced by the flavors and ingredients of Cajun cooking and of New Orleans. Crab cakes, the Bayou dip with roasted chicken and jalapenos, and the blue cheese polenta are all flavor-packed starters designed to wake up your taste buds. Then, roll up your sleeves and dig in to dishes like red beans and rice, crawfish etouffee, or Chef Clay's famous gumbo. There are pastas, too, like the bowties with smoked chicken and Marsala, or the Cajun crawfish puttanesca. Shrimp and grits make an appearance on the menu as well, and so does a Louisville classic hot brown. There's plenty more on the menu, including pizzas, so plan on going back again and again to sample it all. No matter when you go, save room for dessert: the pretzel brownie with toasted marshmallow or the classic creme brulee will wow you for sure! Enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine with your meal, and if you need catering, call ahead and ask for details. Skip the wait and make a reservation, and head over today for a flavor-packed meal at Lou Lou's! Please note: Check out specials at Lou Lou's like Wine Down Wednesdays with half-price bottles of wine from the whole wine list.
