Loulou Bistro opens at Martin Place with a steak frites sandwich and happy-hour snails
Steak frites are having a bigger moment than usual in the CBD, with 24 York opening on July 23 and taking inspiration from Le Relais de l'Entrecote in France, which has successfully leant on the dish for more than half a century. Bouillon l'Entrecote at Circular Quay is another go-to venue for French-style steak and chips.
'Our focus won't be on steak,' says Parker of the opening menu at Loulou Martin Place. However, with steak frites one of the best sellers at the Milsons Point restaurant, it still features on the menu, along with a version encased in a baguette.
'We want to bring that feeling of a neighbourhood restaurant across to the city,' says Parker said. Plans are underway for the brand's further expansion, too. Later this year, a fast version of Loulou Bistro will open at the Qantas Domestic Terminal at Sydney Airport.

RELATED: Melbourne CBD skyscraper sells out studios as buyers rush into $1bn Atlas tower Vast majority of Victoria now home to 'extreme rental pain', but silver lining for Docklands Docklands: Sam Newman's former New York-style penthouse listing 'I think that it's the best penthouse in all of Docklands, it has panoramic, uninterrupted views across the Yarra River and Melbourne CBD's skyline,' Ms Zucha said. 'You're 38 levels up and the home is split across two levels, it's private and very secure.' Four of the bedrooms have an ensuite, while the main bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and bathtub with river views. The kitchen showcases Gaggenau appliances such as dual ovens and a steam oven, plus a butler's pantry. Mr Rombotis said the home was located in a Mirvac-built tower, construction was completed in 2015. 'It is pretty much very new, not even one appliance in the kitchen has been used,' Mr Rombotis said. The owners travel a lot and when in residence they enjoyed ordering food from the many eateries nearby, he added. Other features include zoned ducted airconditioning, a downstairs powder room and an upstairs room with a pool table. The building offers a concierge service, an indoor pool, spa, sauna and gym to residents. Mr Rombotis said they had received calls from international-based buyers about the penthouse. 'It would suit a family who are seeking to live in the city or someone wanting a CBD base,' he said. The residence is close to Southbank's dining and retail offerings, Southern Cross train station, the Arts Centre Melbourne and Melbourne's CBD. Expressions of interest close August 8.
