    Redfish Grill
    Suzanne S.

    This is a great gem as it is the first Broken Egg in the Another Broken Egg chain. It has since been sold and turned into a to LA Lou. It still has the ambience, great food and service that we expect. I had the redfish Benedict and it was delicious. My husband had the redfish grille. He said it was really good. Our server Jenny was friendly and personable. We had morning cocktails and they were just as delicious! Highly recommend!!

    All the Fall things in one dish! incredible! Smothered Brie

    We dinned here last month for the first time and it was one of the best places we ate at in the Mandeville area. We got there before the rush thank goodness, since I am not sure they take reservations or not, this place does get pretty packed. And now I know why. I have to give props to the hostess; she did an incredible job and she used old school tools like paper and pen to keep track of everyone. Anyway, after a brief 15-minute wait and watching incredible looking dishes walk past our noses, we were seated. I knew right away what I wanted. I ordered the smothered brie as an app. The hubs ordered the pancakes, and I ordered the grilled chicken strawberry salad. The smothered brie is literally Fall flavors on a plate. I felt like I was at Thanksgiving dinner and I loved it! Brie + honey + pecans + apples in a rich sauce to dip your bread into is my kind of dish! I felt like I needed a hot toddy to go with it. When entrees came out, I wasn't sure it could top that app, but it did. Those pancakes though! There was something about them, addictive! There was a crispiness on the edges, it wasn't burnt, but crispy and full of the sugary addictive flavor that I kept going back for more. I know you say a pancake is a pancake, but these were different and I haven't stopped talking about them. Then that salad, ok, it's hard to sell a salad but this one is really good. Fresh ingredients, delicious dressing, and huge. I could only eat half. I have not eaten that much on the North Shore, but this is for sure, one the best!

    Crab cake Napoleon

    Fun brunch spot for a filling Louisiana breakfast. We started with a Bloody Mary and Poinsettia mimosa. If you want a showstopper, get the Bloody Mary. It came full-on Southern-style with a slice of celery and carrot, crisp bacon, lemon and lime wedges, and two blue cheese olives. After tasting the Mary, the poinsettia mimosa was bland and barely cool. We then splashed out with the pimiento cheese and biscuit platter. I thought the prosciutto that was mentioned would be sliced on the side. I noticed it was served that way at the next table. Our platter ended up being a plate and minus the prosciutto, it was just okay. Next, we split the Crab Cake Napoleon. If you're from out of town, get ready for a big meal with this one. Everyone loves it and in my opinion, it really represents Louisiana cuisine. There's a blue crab cake on top of a grit cake and it's smothered with a shrimp cream sauce that is just beautiful. Good luck eating it all. After that, we elected not to have dessert but a sample of their blueberry goat cheese pancakes. If you like pancakes, you'll love how fluffy these are. Service was great but I would expect to wait since it's well situated along the lakefront.

    Omelette

    We had just a short walk from our place and we were impressed. Great service and great food. We did not know that we were going to get so much food. The stuffed pancake was amazing and my omelette was very tasty also. We finished only half of each so they were still excellent for breakfast the next day. We also stopped in again before we left the area for home. This time we shared a meal and had plenty to eat.

    This place is so delicious! Perfect location if you want to walk around after on the lakefront! Breakfast is phenomenal! The vibe is amazing and every single time I've been here it's been such a good experience!

    Nice understated Northshore ambiance at LaLou in Mandeville.

    Visited LaLou in Mandeville this morning for a late breakfast with my wife and enjoyed it. LaLou is pleasantly situated in a vintage house a couple of blocks off the lakefront and exudes a certain Southern harm. Service was friendly and welcoming, although a little slow. I had the eggs, biscuit and gravy with special LaLou grits and my wife had pancakes. All were good. With a very good breakfast and lunch menu, LaLou is worth a visit.

    Simple breakfast, eggs, bacon, potatoes and biscuit

    The food at Lalou was delicious! I wanted to order Everything on the menu! When you walk in or wait outside, (because it's such a popular place)you will be greeted by the owner and treated like family by All! This place is So special, an absolute treasure!

    Awesome yogurt and muffin
    Pete D.

    We were 4 that arrived at La Lou. This is a quaint home that was converted to serve breakfast/brunch. And wow, it was fantastic. They do not hold back on the appropriate veggies for the Bloody Mary. Our daughter in law ordered pancakes. It filled the dish where you couldn't even see the plate. Not being too hungry I ordered a cup of yogurt with fruit. It was mostly fruit mixed with yogurt. On the side they served a warm muffin consisting of chocolate and cappuccino - Wow. We strongly recommend this restaurant.

    Met family for lunch today at The Trace Neighborhood Bar and Grill in Mandeville and enjoyed it…read more This is the third or fourth iteration of a restaurant here and the bar area, dining room, and patio are quite nice. The location, directly on the St. Tammany Trace on Girod Street, is a definite winner. We dined outside today and service was excellent. We had a variety of burgers, salads, and munchables today and all were good. My Buffalo chicken salad was stellar; fresh, crispy, and generously portioned. They have a good selection of specialty cocktails and local brews, and the iced tea was good. Good things seem to be going on here. It will be interesting to see how things develop.

I tried a bait, and despite not being a big Cesar salad fan, did enjoy it. Chicken was flavorful, cooked perfectly and served on a beautiful cloves of garlic toast. Our apps were good. Chips and queso and flatbreads are pretty standard so they met my expectations. The Trace has plenty of menu options and beers on tap. I am curious to try their other menu items, specifically the main dishes. A very casual ambiance, we chose to sit outside and enjoy the warm weather. Our server was great and patient. He checked on us consistently through service and even gave our dog a water bowl as well.

Liz came by the table to say hi to my mother in law and to meet us all. I started my meal with a spicy Bloody Mary and then had the Seafood Scramble with Spicy Hollandaise and a side of Cheesy Grits. The scramble had a good amount of eggs and seafood and the sauce had a nice level of seasoning. I would've loved to have the biscuit that came but I saved it for my son since he can eat gluten. That biscuit looked soft and fluffy. I loved my egg dish. My son had a Cheeseburger with Sweet Potato Fries and my brother in law had the Grilled Cheese and Crab Sandwich. They both looked great and apparently were delicious. The Shrimp and Grits and Debris Eggs Benedict were awesome too. We will definitely be back on our next trip if not another day this week.
