About Loulou Bistro, Boulangerie & Traiteur

Proper Parisian dining finds a confident home in Milsons Point—complete with an adjoining boulangerie and traiteur counter. Regulars claim tables for unhurried weekend lunches over hand-cut beef tartare crowned with raw egg yolk, crisp frites, and glasses of chilled Chablis. The kitchen leans hard into heritage technique, turning out rabbit terrine alongside tender monkfish and scallop farci without stuffiness. Outside on the sunny terrace, plates of charcuterie and warm brioche circulate under attentive service. Morning visitors clear the bakery counter early for crusty baguettes and le goûter before dinner rolls in for sweet roquefort cheese soufflé and classic crème caramel.

  • Classical Heritage Menu: Honors heritage technique with rabbit terrine, tender monkfish and scallop farci, and hand-cut steak tartare crowned with raw egg yolk.
  • Boulangerie & Traiteur: Adjoining counter turns out fresh baguettes, buttery brioche, and traditional pastries for takeaway or casual terrace snacking.
  • Polished Bistro Ambiance: Warm, professional hospitality suits celebratory milestones and long, wine-paired lunches on the sunny terrace.

  • John Dory

    A particular standout was the John Dory, which was fresh, delicately seasoned, and cooked to perfection – easily one of the best seafood dishes I’ve had in Sydney.
