Lulu Bar

This is a great place if you are looking to enjoy fusion flavors that are described as "Pacific coast inspired". We ordered the beef tongue skewer, miso toasted cauliflower, lobster dumplings, salt & pepper pork belly, and the coconut fried squid. For dessert we had their rice pudding. The food is cooked very well - they often carry a good blend or balance of acidic, spicy, salty, sweet, and have a bit of a crunch added from the fixings. The quality of their ingredients used are excellent too! The coconut fried squid for example was not overly battered and was fried to a crisp golden with a very tender and flavorful squid at its center. The only critique is that it could use more coconut flavor! The only miss in this series of dishes was the lobster dumplings. The dumpling skin was done nicely but the lobster filling was more consistent with lobster shrimp paste similar.to what you can find at an Asian supermarket rather than real lobster. It was still a good dumpling but not what was expected. The service was great and people were friendly. It will definitely be a place to come back to with a group as these dishes are great for sharing!

First off, if you want to have a fantastic evening and a fun night out - this is the place. If you’re going out for a few cocktails, or a decadent dinner Lulu bar is the place to be. Make sure you book a reservation as it can be quite busy, and that’s a good sign. They have a large covered outdoor patio and beachy, mid century decor inside. Their cocktail menu is extensive, creative and amazing, and their food menu is to die for. You must try everything, as every dish contains flavours like you’ve never had anywhere else. The lamb was delicious and the plating of the meal was beautiful. Our server Megan is one of a kind and delivered the best possible dining experience we could ask for. She was knowledgeable about every last detail on the menus, answered all our questions and guided us through one of our favourite culinary experiences to date.

My friend and I loved Lulu bar so much. The food was top tier, and worth its price. Highly recommend getting a couple of appetizers to share, and then sharing a main. Everything was so delicious I had zero complaints the whole night. The service was also top tier, we had Adrian and he was great! So sweet, and knew exactly when to check in. My friend had the King Kona, and I had the Cougar when it came to drinks, both we awesome, we can not wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

Service was very nice and attentive. Found that things marked sour on the menu were extremely sour pork belly sauce and halibut curry. Halibut was also pretty salty. The fried squid was definitely the best item on the menu and the drinks were delicious. While they come in fun glasses, if you look inside you can see stains and residue leftover as I can only imagine it’s pretty tough to clean them.

I had such an amazing birthday night at Lulu bar. Staffs are very friendly, it's such a vibe going on here. The drinks are amazing, nice decor. Food are good, I really love the chicken skewers and coconut fried squid. Good portion with a reasonable price. Definitely come back Recommended dishesBeef Tongue Skewer, Tongue, Coconut Fried Squid

Great atmosphere with a lovely patio. The food is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend ordering a few different things and sharing. The fried chicken and the beef tongue skewers were my favourite. They also have an amazing cocktail menu.

Came on a Thursday evening around 630pm and it was definitely getting pretty busy. Would recommend reservations if you can. They have a covered patio area as well as lots of space inside. Service was pretty good and location is great,right in the heart of the bar/restaurant district in Calgary. The food was pretty unique and for the most part flavourful and enjoyable. Their beer selection wasn't the greatest, but the beers they had were pretty good I ordered an IPA and wife ordered some cocktail Prices are pretty reasonable, and it's the type of place where you order many small dishes to share. The stand-out dishes were the lobster Dumplings but surprisingly not for the lobster! You could barely taste any lobster at all actually... But the skin of the dumpling was made from tapioca and was really good flavour-wise and texture! The coconut calamari I enjoyed quite a bit as it was crispy and very coconutty and paired well with the tangy dipping sauce. Beef tongue was pretty good and well cooked, tender and not chewy. Pork belly I enjoyed but wife found dry as other reviews mentioned. They probably could've cooked it a little less. I liked it crispy. Overall this place tries really hard at the Asian flavours and gets a lot right. In a sea of of pubs and plain jane Western-style restaurants that flood Calgary, this is a really nice fusion restaurant that's worth a try.

It’s was second time in a month. First time when I was there, it’s so busy but everything was so nice. There are enough staff was there so I don’t have any problem. Today I went there to celebrate my girlfriend became Canadian. It was so nice. Not too much people and enough noise, and wonderful drinks and foods. Thank you so much Adrian, hopefully I remember your name correctly.

Absolutely delicious, the dishes are made to perfection with the textures and flavours being just right. Although the portion sizes are a tad small, it’s just the right amount of food for me. I would definitely come again. Ambience and space is really nice too, I love the open concept.

Fusion is a great way to reinvent or bring a twist to dishes. Sometimes trying too hard ends up with something that's just not appealing. Thankfully, Lulu Bar has done a fantastic job taking inspiration from Vietnamese, Thai, Hawaiian cuisine, among others. The restaurant was quite busy, so do make a reservation for a spot ahead of time. Once seated, the service was top notch. Everything served was delicious, from the cocktail, to the beef tongue. The chef played off the acidity of the pickles with the richness of the tamarin chili jam in miso cured egg. The crispy new potatoes were a surprise, a dish that sounded average, was one of my favorites. But once it came down to the dessert, my choice of rice pudding with Thai basil was "interesting", not bad, not stellar, but certainly memorable. A serious A+ on the house spam, but nothing is really like the real stuff...ask any Hawaiian. A wonderful night, will certainly come back.
