Lulou's Restaurant - edible Reno-Tahoe

Lulou’s Restaurant

The first casualty of 2026, Lulou’s Restaurant announced its closure after more than 26 years in business. The Midtown restaurant, owned by Chef Troy Cannan and his wife Coleen, was known for fine dining and a creative menu.

The owners announced their plans to focus on their other two Reno restaurants, neighboring businesses Kauboi Izakaya and Willie’s Pasta Shop, which previously shared staff with Lulou’s.
