Some customers even have their kayak or boat at the restaurant deck. This comes to the ultra oysters and other seafood inspired by Pacific cooking. The interior decoration is worth a look.
668 THE GIG SHACK
Read moreThe Shack is one of the most popular places in Montauk. We come to eat good fish and seafood dishes, but also to enjoy its pleasant terrace which is always full during the summer. There is a nice drinks menu, which includes local whiskey (Montauk Hard Label) and many cocktails, most of them fruity. The atmosphere is always friendly and very "beach", so it sometimes feels like you're in California! There are often evening concerts.
DUFF’S FAMOUS WINGS
Read moreIt is the local's favourite place to eat real Buffalo wings, chicken wings served fried with a hot sauce made with chilli, vinegar and melted butter. The good news is that you can choose the degree of spiciness of Buffalo sauce. Don't make the mistake of ordering the hottest sauce, it's no coincidence that it's called suicidal!
MOTHER'S RESTAURANT
Read moreA typical address in the CBD whose success is based on the traditional recipes of the mother of the first owner. Since the years have passed, the owners have changed but the kitchen has remained the same.
Be warned, there is often a queue. It's normal since it's one of those good gourmet and affordable addresses. A must try: the ham (house specialty), the hearty po-boys (including the unavoidable Ferdi with ham, roast beef and debris in juice), the homemade cookies or the famous omelets.
THE LONDON PLANE
Read moreWelcomed by the plants of a florist at the entrance, we love this charming café-restaurant for its wide variety of fresh and appetizing dishes featuring local and healthy ingredients. We come here mainly for breakfast (large variety of eggs) and lunch to enjoy a vegetarian dish mainly. There is also a delicatessen to fill up before a picnic and a traditional bakery. A crush.

There are several other specialties as well, such as po-boys, gumbo, rice and red bean platter or the captain's generous seafood platter. The stewed dishes are rather spicy.

The portions are large and will satisfy big appetites. We like this place for its affordable prices and its very varied menu.
ISLAND CREPERIE
Read moreInstalled on the island since 2003, this crêperie with a purple front and the accents of a French bistro is run by French people. The food is very good, and we say that without chauvinism! At breakfast, you will enjoy croissants (plain or gourmet version with eggs and bacon), and other homemade pastries, served with a coffee latte, or why not, a Mimosa! At lunchtime, there are savory crepes (we recommend the one with lobster) and about twenty sweet crepes. If you feel like a meal with a Frenchy flavor, go there!

You must try the turtle soup, the wild white Louisiana shrimp and, for dessert, the famous bread pudding soufflé. The weekend brunch is also very popular.
FRANKIE & JOHNNY’S
Read moreFranky & Johnny's has been in existence for over half a century and has kept this label in "New Orleans Diner". This is where to eat crayfish. The entrance to the bar is dark and just lit by the TV screens. Then there is a way to go through the crowd of beer drinkers and American football players to sit down at a messy table. The atmosphere is very typical; especially during games or after the Jazz Fest and Tuesday Gras. Almost everything on the menu is fried: Big sweet butterfly shrimp with green pepper and crispy chicken. All sandwiches are possible, just ask. This is a place not to miss to test what New Orleans really is.
BLIND TIGER
Read moreA rather nice restaurant-bar, located in downtown Shreveport at the entrance of the Red River district. We go there mainly for two reasons: the well-served Cajun specialties - which remind us that Shreveport oscillates between Cajun country and the Texas border - and for the tasty appetizers that we nibble while soaking up the pub and popular atmosphere of the Blind Tiger. Mention should also be made of the fried seafood dishes and the selection of Louisiana spirits. In short, generous portions and good value for money!

MARILYNN'S PLACE
Read moreIf during the week we go there mostly for the po-boys, which are delicious and famous, it is for the Sunday morning brunch that you will appreciate the atmosphere of this unique place. Bozz, the boss with the look of a tidy godfather, proposes a typical menu of Louisiana cuisine, which is absolutely crowned with a trio of homemade beignets. All this with the option of cocktails at will and you will be able to melt in the mass (the crowd, sometimes...) of this former gas station reconverted which attracts the whole of Shreveport, well-to-do as well as broke. A must!

THE COURT OF TWO SISTERS
