Pizzeria

Halifax

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!

Not a huge menu, which I prefer, as it means they do what they do well. Pizza size is just right for one and all three of us enjoyed our selections--the vegetarian options are so good even the carnivores went for them. Service was friendly and prompt without being intrusive. A true gem hidden in the trending section of the North End!

We had a wonderful dinner experience at Los Torres. Service and food were excellent. Our server was very attentive and helpful. She gave us time to enjoy our appetizers while we were deciding for our entrees. Drinks she recommended were delicious and tasty! We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful weather; I would highly recommend not to sit near the sidewalk. Too many fumes and noise from motorcycles parked or passing by. Luckily, we sat outside beside the restaurant. We had calamari, mussels with chorizo, pasta with mushroom and pasta with chorizo and artichokes, churros with chocolate sauce. Unfortunately, I forget the names of the tasty drinks. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful experience at your restaurant!
