This staple of local South Walton food and fun is perhaps just as well known for its energetic vibe and live music nights with groups like the Will Thompson as it is for its food. But, trust me, the food, just like the music and fun, definitely keeps people coming back for more. One visit and you\u2019ll see precisely what I mean.<\/p>\n

Louis Louis, located just off of Hwy. 98 and convenient to 30A, is a kitschy American caf\u00e9 with art-filled walls, colorful d\u00e9cor, hip chandeliers, and a definite cool factor in place. The restaurant is owned and managed by a well-known local trio of restaurateur brothers, Philippe, Olivier, and Louis Petit, along with their father, Louis Sr.<\/p>\n

The family also owns other restaurants along the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast, including, a favorite of many tourists and locals alike, the iconic and wildly popular\u00a0Red Bar<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Grayton Beach<\/a>. Though there are similar elements in all their restaurants, Louis Louis is probably known and frequented more by locals than it is by the hundreds of thousands of tourists converging on the 30A area each vacation season. And, I say this because that makes it just the ideal place to check out if you want to experience food and fun much as the locals do.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s the food, fun, or laid-back local feel, once you give Louis Louis a try, I think you\u2019ll find yourself making it a regular spot when you visit DoctorsOrders30A<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
