Description

Friendly, festive Bayview haven for Louisiana-deprived locals drips with Mardi Gras paraphernalia and good Creole cooking: a rich, crumbly boudin sausage; meaty catfish fingers coated in cornmeal; spicy, succulent crawfish etouffee; and the finest red beans and rice west of Iberia Parish. The full-bodied Bloody Mary is an exemplary eye-opener. Lunch only, but hot snacks are served at night, when the restaurant becomes a bar. Live music, too.
