Loumi is all about spectacular flavors, wow-worthy ingredients, and a stunningly relaxed atmosphere. Mical and Karl-Louis, the two friends and makers behind Loumi, were famous for their iconic private dining events. Now (lucky us) they just opened their first ever restaurant! The beautifully designed space boasts only 14 seats with the chefs dishing out a single 7-course tasting menu. If you manage to nab a spot, you’ll discover intriguing bites such as tiny razor clam tacos, and menu stunners made with zesty yuzu, amazake, and sauces and broths meticulously cooked. Expect a seafood-heavy line-up, and indulge in hand-dived scallops from Norway, and fish coming straight from Brittany. Or get ready to sink your teeth in marbled dairy cow filet, and locally farmed produce shifting with the season. I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but let’s just say it’s not your typical fine dining experience. It’s all about unpretentious vibes, a cool playlist, and food that makes your head spin. Their kitchen counter is a prime spot for drinks with a view of the chefs. Walk in, grab a Negroni, and soak up the ambiance and buzz! PS No one leaves hungry! There’s also a delightful bar snack menu.
