"Louis Louis" on 98 opening 2/26/10

Phillipe, Ollies brother is taking over Cafe Provence (Hwy 98) and changing it to a restaurant like the old 331 Cafe.
I hope it's true.............anybody know anything?

louie and louie jr are taking it over.
it will be fabulous.

No, I love Cafe Provence. They have very authentic french food, it is fabulous, and the staff is wonderful. That is so sad

Will they have a bar/dancing area like the old 331? I really miss that!

That's cool, Scooty, I will totally be out there with you! I miss that most about 331!

FINALLY! I have always wondered how that place stays open b/c I NEVER see a car in the parking lot when I drive by, and the open sign is always on. Glad to hear we will have another place like the old 331!!!

I talked to Ollie

Talked to Ollie last Saturday. He thinks he open his new restaurant in Febuary. He has his old chandeliers which will be part of the decor.

Is this location on the west end of 98?

Is this location on the west end of 98?

yes. It is approx 1.5 miles east of 30A/98 intersection (Gas Station with Subway)

Do we know yet what it will be called? Can't wait to try it - I loved the 331!

I regret not going more. I am sad to lose it too.

But, I am glad that the Petits will be doing their thing there. It can't help but be goooood in every way!

the 331

the 331 on 98? Should it be the 429?

Cafe Provence was a winner. Where else could you get authentic French food in this area? He opened a restaurant better than the area deserved. I never quite agreed with his menus, because I thought it limited his clientele, but the food was incredible. I drove by there too many times to see an empty parking lot, and thought what a shame. I wish the new restaurant the best and look forward to stopping by.

Bistro Bijoux and Restaurant Paradis

My emphasis on authentic French cuisine was intentional. I have eaten at both restaurants above, and while the food at each was excellent, I would not consider it to be authentic French cuisine. Thank you Kurt for your suggestions.

The owner/chef of Cafe Provence was a Michelin Star rated chef. We only ate there once, but the food was out of this world.

I ate brunch there (before it moved to the new location) and it was amazing!

Circumstances just didn't have me eat there again.

Is the new Petit place going to be food or bar/dancing or both?

Bay Cafe in FWB under Brooks Bridge still seems to have a following for French food.

Louis Petit's son Louis will be joining him to help launch the new restaurant in February. The menu will be similar to the Red Bar and the former 3Thirty1, no sushi bar.

Complementing the tried and true menu will be a full bar and beer and wine list.
The d?cor, Petit says with a smile, will again be a tad bohemian, unique and out of the box.
As for entertainment, Petit said there won’t be any at first.
“We want to take baby steps and build up the bar business first,” he said. “It will be a for-real family restaurant.”
Louis, Louis will offer dinner seven nights a week from 5 to 10 p.m.

Hi everyone,
My dad, Mr. Louis Petit and younger brother Louis are opening "Louis Louis" at the "Cafe Provence" location.
we should open at the end of february ,Michel and Connie Atlas the owners of provence gave us an amazingly beautiful restaurant ,decorated with lots of taste, we want to add the great chandeliers we had at the 331 ,plus some other unique pieces .The food will be presented on a black board,Prices will be reasonable, we will have full bar also.
Maybe some live music if i can figure where to put em....Place is rather small.
I know most of the Sowalers appreciated our efforts and we thank you kindly for all the support over the years, by the way on the 27 Th. of this moth will be exactly 15 years that we have been in Grayton Bch. please pop in if you are on 98 and we'll give a tour.
