Loulou Courchevel, The "Dolce Vita" of the Summits
Loulou, the most elegant of Parisian restaurants, is making its way to Courchevel at the Palace Barrière Les Neiges, a dreamy destination where winter promises to be magical.
Nestled behind a vast curtain and extending over two floors, Loulou Courchevel offers a unique experience, where Alpine traditions meet influences from around the world. Entrusted to interior architect Corinne Sachot, the decor celebrates Savoyard culture. Its curved seats with rounded backrests invites guests to kick back and relax, whether for taking their pick from the menu’s culinary delights or enjoying a long leisurely meal at Christmas or New Year.
With its playful charm, Loulou is adept at switching things up. Whilst the mountain atmosphere awakens childhood memories of first ski trips, Loulou also invites you on a journey to discover the Rocky Mountains. Rugs, kilims, cushions, and patterned fabrics foster the welcoming comfort of a Colorado-inspired hideaway; much like the collection of handcrafted pieces made by both a local carpenter and craftsmen at the traditional Maison Lucien Gau. This mixing of styles and encounters is crowned by a huge woodfire, evoking the type of sculptures found in an Italian Renaissance Garden as the fancy of the great Italian designer, Renzo Mongiardino.
Featured on the menu is the exquisite cuisine of neighboring Italy. Loulou’s classics, including truffle pizza and pasta al pomodoro, are showcased alongside Piedmont specialties to indulge in on your own or to share. The perfect way to prepare the palate for the delicious dessert buffet, with plenty to delight children and adults alike. Loulou Courchevel offers a lively ambiance all day long, with the comfortable settings of the bar and lounge open from breakfast to late into the night for both hotel guests and non-residents.
Enjoy the familiarity of Loulou’s while embracing the winter aesthetic. This idyllic mountain venue offers beautiful views over the snow-covered Bellecôte run. Outside, the vast sun-drenched terrace beckons, as it turns into a vibrant venue over the course of the day, with its selection of cocktails and DJ beats. In a village where eternal sophistication goes hand in hand with the delights of the great outdoors, Loulou will reveal its unique character infused with mountain flair; a generous, elegant, and joyful spirit, at altitude.
