Top tags:

Lulu Bar is an escape from the ordinary. Its welcoming vibe is reminiscent of hidden gems from your last vacation, only better because it’s right here in your own backyard. With a healthy, Pacific-inspired menu, Lulu’s wood-fired food is light and fresh — but heavy on flavour.
Chef Joseph Sokoloff’s fare is a tribute to the Pacific Ocean and many of the regions that touch it, with influences from Asia to Hawaii, California to British Columbia. Lulu’s fun, light, and refreshing drink menu is equally well-travelled. Its sake, beer, and creative cocktail offerings will make you feel like you’re far from home — and we like that.

Great service and very flavourful food. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. All of the dishes that we tried were delicious, but the beef tataki was outstanding. Tasty cocktails as well. Will definitely go back. The only downside...it is very loud.

We arrived and were seated right away. Unfortunately the table was by the door so we got a blast of cold air every time someone came in. The place is very noisy, but there appeared to be a small loft area so would recommend asking for a table there if you want a bit more quiet. The food received a mixed review. The Brussel sprouts and beef large plate were fantastic, however the lobster dumplings were very fishy and as a result completely overpowered the lobster. The pork belly was good but not spectacular. The location of the restaurant is excellent and the staff were for the most part attentive.

Went to Lulu Bar for a date night and had the Wok Fried Thai Noodles and Sichuan Noodle salad. The Thai noodles were AMAZING! The noodle salad was also very good. We also had the Venus Rising and Leopards Tongue drinks and they were outstanding! I would say the portions and pricing were fair. Location is great. Highly recommend getting a reservation.

Excellent food. Wonderful combination of flavours and choices. Although I know the philosophy of the wine program at Lulu Bar is to source wonderful wines from not well known producers, the wine list is small. Maybe this is ok for a younger crowd that Lulu is trying to appeal to, but for my 50 something taste when good wine is easily the most important determining factor of the dinner, the wine list is too limited.

Cute place for dinner or drinks with your friends. However, the drinks are extremely expensive. It’s not out of the ordinary compared to the prices at other restaurants these days, but $18 for a drink that was filled with ice… you’re better off drinking at home. Great ambience, decent service, but probably won’t be returning due to how expensive everything is here.
