This is a small restaurant under very good management. The food is in courses (or you can order one entree if you wish). The waiters are attentive and extra-ordinarily well-trained. Nothing is late to the table. Food is beautifully presented. It is--to me, a remarkable restaurant. It is a little expensive, for average restaurants, but not for the class of... More

Lula Bistro has it all - AMAZING food and atmosphere. Everything is prepared fresh when you order it so this is not the restaurant to go to if you are in a hurry. I ordered a seafood cocktail and it was served in a cup with a live beta fish swimming under it. The dessert had a sugar bird cage... More

It just a great experience, the place is nice, excellent list of wines, and the chef is probably one of the best in town. Perfect for a romantic dinner o some drinks with friends.

We celebrated my birthday at Lula Bistro last month, I had forgotten how good it is... like another reviewer very well said, every course is a poem! We tried the goat cheese baklava with pomegranate chipotle, light, and delicious. My husband loved the escargots, and the presentation is beautiful. The ravioli are light, tasty and amazing, and for dessert we... More

As I entered the restaurant I felt a cosmopotlitan, urban, interntional and true atmosphere. Very confortable charirs and tables, white and earthy colors : minimal elements to focus on the main atraccion: the food! Every course was a poem. Delicate, original, yet true to the ingredients: the flavoures dance in your mouth and you can identify them clearly. The waiters... More

Amazingly creative and well thought-out selections that were beautifully introduced at the table - it felt like you were sharing the passion for the food! Wonderful!

Although many restaurants in Guadalajara have an excellent menu and other great ambiance there's only a few that have both. Then there are restaurants like lula bistro that takes the dining experience to the next level. Irishman Darren Walsh has brought his world class talents to the culinary second class city of Guadalajara and given us our first truly exquisite... More

I don't think I have ever been so disappointed in a restaurant that had such rave reviews. This place is nothing to rave about. The website has been photo shopped to extremes. The ambiance is very cold and cheap with music that does not invite conversation. This is a minimal commercial restaurant that does not offer a great menu or... More

It can be hard to decide or even find a great place to enjoy amazing food, service, and atmosphere, whether you live in the city or are traveling through. Lula Bistro invites you in through two huge glass doors that preview the clean, simple, yet artistic modern design. From the water feature in the foyer, to presentation of each dish,... More

Felt like we were in trendy (in a good way) LA or NY restaurant surrounded by trendy-chic South Americans.... Very impressed with food, creativity, presentation, price, etc. Highly recommend! Would go back next time we visit Guadalajara. Very close to new Riu hotel.
