Finer Dining: Lui Lui Restaurant


I have already included a Lui Lui Restaurant slideshow in an earlier post, but thought this humble little eatery deserved further recognition. Located in the Station St. plaza just minutes from uptown Athens, Lui Lui offers one of the most interesting mix of international entrees in the city. Start the night off with Salmon Rolls or Artichoke and Spinach Crostini and a glass of over 20 varied wines. For the main course, try the Pepper Seared Rare Tuna or Caribbean Chicken. For the inner pizza lover inside all of us, the restaurant also offers a great selection of vegetarian, traditional, and more eccentric (see: Mongolian Beef Pizza or Thai Style Pizza) pies cooked to perfection in its wood-burning oven.

My personal favorite? General Tso’s Chicken: tender pieces of boneless chicken that are deep fried and tossed in General Tso’s spicy sauce.

While the décor may be somewhat muted — plain walls are occasionally splashed with ill-fitting pieces of oriental art — Lui Lui Restaurant is still nice enough to accommodate your Sunday’s best.
