Ready for Fat Tuesday? Here's a sneak peek at what Lou Lou on Market is planning for Mardi Gras
Lou Lou on Market was made with Mardi Gras in mind.
The New Orleans-themed restaurant at 812 E Market St. has upped its festive decor ahead of Fat Tuesday celebrations on Feb. 13. You’ll find lots of carnival masks, colorful beads, and purple, green, and gold touches around the NuLu eatery, which opened in December 2022. That’s on top of an always-present huge mural dedicated to the French Quarter.
Lou Lou on Market serves Louisiana-inspired dishes such as jambalaya, shrimp-n-grits, gumbo, red beans and rice, and, for dessert, a bundle of beignets. The menu offers a little bit of everything, including a bone-in pork chop, cheeseburger, chicken wings, pizzas and calzones.
Along with dining areas on the main floor, Lou Lou on Market has a speakeasy-type downstairs bar, upstairs dining areas, and a large outdoor patio with a bar.
The upcoming Fat Tuesday celebration kicks off at 11 a.m. with Cajun dishes and drinks such as Voodoo Punch and Hurricanes on tap. Live music kicks off at 5 p.m.
Reservations are encouraged and available by calling 502-515-9699 or visiting loulouonmarket.com/reservations.
