Loulou Lands in the CBD With $2 Escargots and Steak Frites

Eat / 22 July 2025

Loulou Bistro Martin Place is the latest venue from the Etymon Group, following Milsons Point and Petit Loulou.

Perched above the metro at 1 Elizabeth Street, the new venue brings the same breezy French cuisine and bistro buzz, this time with a sharper city edge.

Think reimagined French classics, a sun-drenched oyster and wine bar, and one of the chicest happy hours in town. From L’Apéro Hour with $2 escargots and Kir Royales, to breakfast meetings fuelled by caramelised brioche and Bloody Marys. Whether you’re popping in for a long lunch, a cheeky martini, or just to people-watch with a flute of champagne, this is our new all-day go-to.
