There’s always a party at Lulu California Bistro in Palm Springs! A delightful culinary adventure awaits treasured guests at this restaurant, where more than 70 freshly made California-inspired dishes make their way to the newly refreshed dining room, patio, and bar. The restaurant’s mottos, after all, are: “We serve smiles,” and “There’s always something to love at Lulu.”

Three beautiful spaces host an active crowd: people-watchers on the patio and in the climate-controlled atrium; guests sipping signature cocktails at the busy, buzzy bar; and indoor diners, sitting in the lively main dining room or newly designed terraces.

“We opened 12 years ago with a huge commitment to downtown Palm Springs, and that helped to spark the town’s renaissance. It’s been so nice to see us grow together,” founder Jerry Keller says. “Lulu serves the finest, freshest food available with daily-delivered seafood, locally sourced produce for salads and vegetarian dishes, and freshly baked desserts.” 

The Lulu menu boasts something for every palate: fried calamari, an array of healthy salads, mouthwatering grilled filet mignon, five fresh fish dishes, and an award-winning three-course weekend brunch with sweet and savory choices. They even serve handspun pink cotton candy for dessert! 

The act of bringing good food together with smiles and cheer doesn’t stop there. “We deeply believe in supporting charitable efforts and organizations,” Keller says. “Lulu’s restaurant and catering success is always shared with our local community to help people in need.”
