Loulou Restaurants

What Loulou Restaurants does

Loulou Restaurants (legally Loulou Groupe) is a private French fine dining group operating Mediterranean-inspired restaurants in four prime leisure locations: the flagship Loulou Paris adjacent to the Tuileries Garden and Carrousel du Louvre, two French Riviera venues (Ramatuelle and Roquebrune-sur-Argens), and Loulou Courchevel in the French Alps ski resort. Founded in 2016, the group runs lunch and dinner service seven days a week, with extended lunch hours (12:00-16:00) and seasonal menus built around natural products. Beyond individual and small-party reservations handled through the SevenRooms platform, Loulou operates a private events business for groups of 13 or more and maintains dedicated recruitment and brand channels (Instagram, newsletter, website). Revenue is generated almost entirely through à la carte food and beverage sales at the physical venues, with no disclosed subscription, licensing, or digital product revenue.

In September 2024, the Barrière casino and hotel group acquired a majority stake in Loulou Groupe as part of Barrière's stated strategy to expand into luxury dining. The company is headquartered at 63 Avenue Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Paris's 8th arrondissement, with the flagship operating entity LOULOU PARIS registered under RCS Paris 824736961. Alexandre Rossoz is identified as Directeur de la publication in the legal notice. The company employs more than 250 staff based on its 2024 French gender equality index filing (75/100), and has signaled international expansion with planned venues in Sydney, Australia near Martin Place Metro station. Underlying technology is conventional hospitality infrastructure (SevenRooms reservations, OVH-hosted website, standard CRM/email); no proprietary AI, data, or platform technology is disclosed.
