The best French cuisine restaurants Louisiana

The owners (a French painter, Jacques Soulas, and an eccentric American, Jerry Edgar) have managed to recreate the perfect atmosphere of a French café. You are greeted in French or English. For the aperitif, start with a Ricard or a Suze. And to whet your appetite, have a plate of homemade pâtés and cheeses. Save room for desserts. The chocolate mousse is excellent and, in summer, the homemade sorbets are not to be missed. The service is very courteous and loyal. It is also the perfect place for a little drink at the bar.

A few steps from the Café des Amis, Jacqueline will give you a warm welcome. Exile for a long time, this French has not forgotten the gastronomic experience of her country. She will present a map where crayfish are competing with French recipes and protesting with American po. No wonder this woman of character settled in the heart of French Acadie.

Since its opening in 1840 by a Frenchman, Antoine Alciatore, it is still the same family that runs the establishment. Nothing has really changed, except the way it is used. The building has more than ten rooms, each with its own purpose and decoration. On the menu, the Pontchartrain pompano, the trout amandine and the famous oysters Rockefeller and their butter sauce (a dish invented here). And for dessert, you must try the huge Baked Alaska (a Norwegian omelet). The cellar also contains many treasures. Bar Hermès located just next door.

For those who would be hurt by the country or for the tired traveller of the burgers and other fried fish, here is La Madeleine, a "French" bistro. In fact, the menu mixes several influences, French and Italian, but also Italian. However, the result is not bad. On the map, a small flux for spinach (spinach pochette), a lorraine quiche, crêpes, pasta to pesto or tomato or a fetish-mister. The enfroit also offers brunch, dinner and pastries. The pastries are not fabulous, but so far from France, they are forgiving.
