Louie restaurant review: a glamorous new French import where hedonism begins at brunch
Annabel’s, Chiltern Firehouse and co.) oversees the debut London restaurant of Paris Society’s Laurent de Gourcuff whose stable of haute hangs in the French capital includes Girafe, Apicius and Loulou, a favourite of Bella Hadid and Beyoncé.Louie, lovely Louie, was not intended for such trying times. It was meant to launch in March, a pleasure palace for the social set – a little bit New Orleans, a little bit New York – with live music, Creole food, a bar on every floor, a roof terrace, secret ‘cabana’ and a 2am late license (a fat lot of good that is).Even before it had served its first po’ boy, it was declared ‘the new Chiltern Firehouse’.
