East Nashville’s Lou Returns This Weekend With Socially Distanced Patio Picnics

East Nashville’s lou is ready to reopen this week — with takeaway brunch and dinner picnic sacs, whole cakes, and wine. Chef/owner Mailea Weger and crew are also offering socially distanced patio tables outside for booking. Dubbed “lou sur place”, the takeaway picnic option rolls out on Friday, May 15.

A dinner sac for two people is $80, and this week’s menu includes a shrimp boil, Moroccan carrots, spring pea salad, and more. Brunch sacs are available for $55. Other options are a $40 snack sac, wine, and provisions like a farmers market box, whole cakes, doughnuts, and breakfast cake with wine.

There will be multiple tables on the patio for booking — that are spaced out to allow for proper social distancing. Sales will open every Wednesday, and people can pre-order for pick up on Thursday-Sunday. Guests can book online if they would like to sit on the patio. There will be a movie of the week shown outside at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday.

See this weekend’s menu below, then check lou’s website for future offerings. Hours for lou sur place are Thursday-Saturday 12 to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 12 until 4 p.m.
