CHECK OUT LULU

Miami New Times | As Ernest Hemingway …

“‘I am of those who like to stay late at the café,’ the older waiter said. ‘With all those who do not want to go to bed. With all those who need a light for the night.'” The passage from Ernest Hemingway, perhaps better than any other in literature, exemplifies the need for a no-fuss place to meet, eat, drink, talk, read, or simply sit and watch people pass by. Lulu hopes to encourage a similar camaraderie at the bustling intersection of Main Highway and Commodore Plaza.White letters on the back of the staff’s black T-shirts spell out the mission: neighborfood.

A comparison closer to home would be to GreenStreet Café, located directly across the street. Sylvano and Maida Bignon, both from Paris, have been owners of that spot for about three decades. In June 2008 the couple rolled out Lulu, a younger, hipper — dare we say artsier? — version of their flagship venue. Lulu’s indoor space is lounge-like, with a small bar, flat-screen television screens, and walls splashed with urban-style collage art.

A No Fuss Place To Meet

Just about everyone chooses the outdoor seating, which wraps around the corner and encompasses round café tables and low tables bookended by couches. The preference for street-side snacking is likely to change as the heat intensifies. The single-page menu is a savvy compilation of small plates, sandwiches, salads, burgers, and a half-dozen entrées. Like its sibling across the way, Lulu emphasizes popular American fare, but it focuses less on traditional family sensibilities and more on the tastes of younger diners. That focus is especially evident among the starters, which eschew fried calamari in favor of contemporary dishes such as goat cheese croquettes with honey-orange dip or smoky Brussels sprouts with orange sections and balsamic vinegar; If it seems as though you have seen all of these menu items elsewhere, it’s because you probably have. It’s just as likely you’ve enjoyed them — which, to complete the circle, is why they are on the menu. The Bignons appear content concentrating on providing fresh, crisply executed renditions of like-able foods, affordable drinks, and a neighborly café setting in which to enjoy them. We’re quite content with that too.
