The story
Lilou is a French restaurant at Magdalenastraat 11, 4461 AL Goes, where Gault&Millau gave it a 13 in 2026 and Michelin lists it as Recommended for the same year. The restaurant calls itself a Café de Paris, and its French kitchen sits in the centre of Goes.
The kitchen keeps to French classics. Gillardeau oysters and a glass of crémant de Bourgogne make a common start, followed by escargots and langoustines. Entrecôte is served for sharing, and the meal can end with French cheeses and a fresh madeleine before you leave.
Every wine on the list is French, running from the Loire to Burgundy. The team will suggest a bottle if you ask, and the cocktail list offers original drinks for different moods.
Classic French chansons play through the room, which keeps the mood close to a Paris bistro. The team is small, and the staff are open about how much they care about looking after guests well.
