Lula Cafe

This neighborhood gem is just as it’s always been and regardless of whether you're squeezed into the main dining room with friends or seated solo at the spacious bar in the adjacent space, the charm of this mainstay endures. The evolving menu focuses on fresh, seasonal, and original fare, keeping it slammed from morning to night.
Barbecued wedges of spaghetti squash topped with Asian pear, daikon, and sesame is impossible not to finish. Nicely grilled steaks are accompanied by a tangle of blistered long beans brushed in a house XO sauce with deliciously chewy bits of dried seafood for maximum flavor. Finish over a tall slice of double-layered carrot cake, complete with crème anglaise and a luxurious spoonful of strawberry preserves.
