Nowhere embodies the creative zeitgeist in Peckham quite like this sleek restaurant on Walworth Road.
By day, a cool crowd of freelancers sip cortados and nibble colourful cakes made by Brazilian pastry chef Michel Scherer. They often host free workshops too, so you can kickstart your writing career and meet like-minded types while enjoying treats such as dulce de leche donuts.
A vintage Hi-Fi sound system announces the start of the evening session when this serene space transforms into a vibrant restaurant where a roster of brilliant visiting chefs flex their culinary muscles. Former names include Pip Lacey, previously of one-Michelin-starred Murano, and Oded Oren, a rising star from Tel Aviv. Residencies typically last between one and two months, so there is something new to discover every time you visit.
After dinner slip down to the basement, where moody lighting and serves such as La Tea En Rose, a heady blend of vodka, Aperol and dried roses, create a sophisticated, decadent vibe.

Michael Wenger - dined at Louie Louie on 18 September 2019
My friend remembered a Jay Rayner review from a while ago so we really wanted to give it a try. Great experience from start to finish - warm and friendly welcome and great balance of attentiveness which is key for a relaxed experience. We were so hungry that we wanted to try everything on the newly launched menu due to their concept of frequent chef rotation. However, as we wished to appear sensible and not like complete gluttons we did follow their advice and started off with 4 sharing dishes.
The portions are generous and the flavours and textures are very well-balanced. Star of the show was the perfectly cooked hot chicken, followed closely by the crispy pork taco which actually comes in a soft bao bun. Mouthwatering deliciousness! Needless to say - we ordered 2 more dishes and finished with another round of tacos. Still feeling stuffed 12 hours later but have no regrets. Will definitely try to come back before the current chef’s tenancy is over - and hopefully many times in the future!

The service here was fantastic and the food was great. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere, slightly more diner/cafe than restaurant but has an amazing vibe and the concept of the chef changing on a regular basis makes it an interesting place to visit. I’ll definitely be going back. Lovely night out.

Myself & 3 friends dined at Louie Louie on Saturday night and it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious and there was a great selection of wine to choose from. Service was brilliant and we had a lovely evening. We will most definitely dine at Louie Louie again soon.

Food was good, nice menu and good flavours in dishes. Portions are quite small though and the waiter seemed a little inexperienced.
