Charming restaurant with great food. I am a regular at Lulu's Cafe and I eat breakfast or lunch there several times per week. I simply love the Eggs Benedict and the Pain Perdu --- and I have recently added their wonderful crepes to my list of favorites!. They have a wide variety of both savory and sweet crepes that are simply scrumptous. The food would be enough to keep me coming back. However --- add to that the wonderful ambiance. The decor is LOVELY, and the atmosphere is like a "home away from home". If you remember the old TV Series, "Cheers" where "everyone knowns your name" --- that would describe Lulu's Cafe! However, instead of a bar, it is a quaint French restaurant. I hesitated at writing this --- because I do not want them to become too popular --- those of us who are regulars like having them all to ourselves! However, I guess it is time to share our wonderful little secret with the rest of Orange County!

Great Food & Great Service. We also read about Lulu's Cafe on Citysearch, and decided to try it late one Sunday evening. Even though we arrived near closing --- and were also young and wanted only an inexpensive meal --- we were treated like their most important guests! We had a wonderful time --- both food and service. We ordered the Cajun and Francaise crepes --- and they were the best we have had anywhere! We were also offered tastes of French cider and pastries by the owners. Since we wanted to sit and talk awhile, the owners stayed open for us. We talked with the owners and found they only have had the restaurant for 3 months, and are doing great things there. They are seeing continually increasing business --- and going through "growing pains" as they described it. We will definitely become one of their "new regulars"!

EXTREMELY SLOW SERVICE-NOT SO GREAT FOOD. We read great reviews about this restaurant and decided to try it for ourselves. We were seated right away but had to wait 20 mins to receive our menus. We noticed that the other middle-aged waitress had refused to even acknowledge us as she seemed to be more interested in helping out a 6-top table of middle aged group wine drinkers and etc vs helping out the rest of the crowd forcing the other waitress to single handle the entire restaurant herself causing the service to be extremely slow. We were there for another hour waiting for our food to arrive to where we finally asked for the food to go. We ordered the crepes and they were horrible, too salty, and not full of flavor. We were dissapointed by the service and the quality of the meal and it was really pricy for what it was. We also feel as though that middle-aged waitress had judged us immediately because we appear to be young and maybe have no money per say. We are regular customers of Taste of France in Huntington Beach where a wonderful meal is about 6 dollars average, the customer service is wonderful there, they occasionally give out free pastries and desserts to customers on their way out; the quiche, pastries, and crepes are also very flavorful. I would recommend this restaurant over Lulu's easily.

Wonderful Dining Experience. This is the place to enjoy fabulous food at very reasonable prices. The restaurant is tucked away in a small mini mall area. Once you walk in you feel like you are in Paris. The atmosphere is warm, cozy and charming. Don't let the name fool you; this restaurant has a large variety of menu options. The service is A+-- I was treated like royalty. This restaurant serves breakfast, lunch Tuesday-Sunday and dinner during the weekends. I began my dinner experience with an excellent salad and soup. My main entree was the filet mignon (Wow). I would compare it to a Ruth Chris Steak House. To end the meal I had an unbelievable fruit crepe with fresh raspberries and strawberries. What a fantastic dining experience it was. I hope to come back to this restaurant soon. My advise to anyone is you better go now and enjoy or later you will be waiting for a table.

Best Brittany Crepes anywhere!. This restaurant is a gem --- the crepes are the best I have tasted in Orange County. The week-end dinners feature excellent French cuisine at very affordable prices. Some of my favorites include the Sand Dabs in Lemon Caper Sauce, Scallops Pernod, and the Coq au Vin. The wines are excellent and very reasonably priced.. I would highly recommend it.
