Loulou: The Chicest Restaurant in Paris

I am a creature of habit down to my core. Although I do enjoy trying new places and things, I also love going back to my tried and true favorites. Anytime I am in Paris, dinner at Loulou is a must. The food is absolutely divine and the decor is just as delicious. Located at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs at the Louvre, the Uber-chic Loulou was designed by Joseph Dirand, one of the most talented designers in Paris. The color palette of black, white, and rust is ultra-sophisticated. The selection of materials includes all of my favorite design elements: lacquer, caning, plaster, gilding, and sumptuous velvet. It makes me so happy every time I visit as the design truly resonates with me. It also doesn’t hurt that they have the most phenomenal burrata I have ever had. Every time Fabian and I go, we order it. This time, Devon and I started our meal with it and it was the best iteration yet, served with the most incredible tomatoes. Let’s take a tour, shall we?

{How incredible is the marble flooring? I love super veiny marble like this. The more it mimics a good Roquefort cheese, the better in my eyes.}

{Beautiful}
