POOR BOY LLOYD’S
Read moreThis restaurant, which is the oldest in downtown, looks like a cantine without much charm. But don't be fooled by appearances, because this place has some of the best po-boys in Louisiana, and that's why we come here. They also prepare hearty plates of seafood, fried oysters or red beans with rice and smoked sausage, not to mention gumbo, salads and various sandwiches. On weekdays until 10am, the house also prepares classic breakfasts.
ELIZA RESTAURANT & BAR
Read moreHere is a restaurant that respects its terroir, sourcing from farmers and producers in Port Allen or St. Francisville. It must be said that Sally and Russell Davis are not at their first try and it is in 2015 that this Baton Rouge restaurant was born (the name pays tribute to their daughter). On the plate, a contemporary Creole cuisine (crawfish and catfish etouffee, shrimp & grits, gumbo ya ya, etc.). For a fresh dish, we recommend the watermelon salad with arugula, cucumber, mint, aged feta and red onion.
