About the restaurant

In Provence, a region in southeastern France, “Lou Pécou” is the term for the peduncle, or stalk, that holds a cluster of fruit. Our grandparents taught us that when in the kitchen, you must start with the freshest and finest of ingredients. They had a unique way of feeling and picking lou pécou, to know if the fruit and vegetable is local, ripe, and fresh. We look forward to passing you these traditions and learnings through our pizzas.

At Lou Pécou, you will find exclusive finely curated dishes with a Provençal touch, a wide range of organic and biodynamic wines, signature cocktails, house-made desserts, and much more!

Always outstanding, the Ostrich Club has levelled up with a new chef focusing on hyper seasonal, hyper local dishes — everything we ate was plate-lickingly good. The cocktail program is also phenomenal, and love the inclusion of creative no ABV options that don’t feel like an afterthought!
