Restaurants near Convent

“We visited Crevasse on April 14, 2023 for lunch. They have been on our ‘have to try’ list for quite some time, but they recently changed ownership. The facility itself is wonderfully rustic and housed in a very old building that has a long history of varied uses over the decades. The beautiful drive along River Road is the perfect pre-meal gift offered to all who make the wise choice to visit. We arrived early (as we often do) so did not encounter any ‘lunch rush’. The menu is not extensive, but there are adequate choices to please most anyone, including a “kids’ menu”. We were immediately greeted and seated. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly. They do a daily lunch special, and there were two options today. Each special includes a generous house salad as well as a dessert (with ice cream as an option) My wife and I each ordered one of the menu specials, with water as our beverage of choice. My wife ordered the crab cake and fried shrimp (3). The specials were served with fries. The crab cake and the shrimp were done very well with nice seasoning and full flavor. The crab patty had a good balance of crab meat and “stuffing”, and was delicious. I ordered the fish and shrimp plate. I was served two nice-sized pieces of fried fish as well as fried shrimp (3). The portions on the sides of fries are adequate, while not the over-sized type you often see when a restaurant is trying to ‘fill the plate’ and falls victim to the quantity over quality path. The fries were obviously hand cut, very freshly fried and delicious. My wife order the vanilla ice cream as her dessert. I passed on the peach cobbler, since I was more than satisfied with my meal and didn’t need the calories. Overall, we had a very positive experience and look forward to visiting again and inviting family and friends to join us.”

“There were a bunch of angry pirates inside while we were eating. They pulled their big old boat up onto the street and were blocking both lanes of traffic. They were fighting, spitting, yelling "Argh!" and stuff. A parrot exploded. One of the pirates hit me with his peg leg. It was super rude, but what do you expect from pirates? Doesn’t really reflect on the restaurant though. I didn't try the food. Brought my own lunch. Canned tuna. It was terrible. Dru's food smelled good though. Probably should get some oranges for the tables though, ya know, cause pirates get scurvy and stuff.”

“Our experience was nice. Love walking the grounds before and after to look at the pretty scenery. I didn't love my scallops this time. I also didn't love the seafood gumbo. I found them both a tad fishy. Wish I had gotten the beef salad. Bread and butter is always yummy. The red snapper special was very good. Drinks were nice and service was great also.”

“We went to Latils Landing during their winter menu. The food was absolutely one of the top 5 meals I've ever had. And that's saying something as I have been all over the world eating great food. The grouper with wild mushrooms was positively sublime. The lobster and sweet potato bisque with truffle oil was a surprising hit. The use of warm water lobster rather than cold water lobster was inspired. The sweet potato needed no additional sweetness and the lobster added a nice texture to the bisque. The waigu beef rib was positively succulent and tender in a way only properly prepared waigu can be. And the balance of salt, spices, and acids was perfect. I will return when the spring menu starts. I'm curious if the chef can keep this level of gustatory performance up.”

“Went on a Friday night. The place was full. Even with a full house, service was quick and very good. Server was very courteous. Food was well prepared and tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend.”

“A little gem of a restaurant. Family friendly. Great staff. They made several recommendations. They were all great. Popper, Annie's burger, chicken and shrimp salad. Reasonably priced.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access”

“This is one of my favorite restaurants. "Restaurant" is not the right word. "Experience" would be more accurate. I'll start with food. On the menu there is a pumpkin crawfish bisque that when I initially saw that combo I turned my nose up at it but decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did - unlike anything I've ever had! I'm always so torn. Trying to decide what to get. For a first time, or I would have to insist on the eggplant Napoleon. It's piled high with so much lump crab meat. I don't know how they offer it for the price it is. But the pork chop with the sweet potato, mash and brussels sprouts... OMG! The service is always great! You're given a basket of breads and biscuits for the table with a couple of butter options. The butter with the Steen's syrup is my favorite. on our last visit, we were celebrating a birthday. The birthday girl was surprised with an array of sweets. But as I said, this is more than just a restaurant, it's an experience. Plan extra time before your reservation or after so that you can view the gorgeous grounds! From the house to the gardens to the fountains to the covered archway, you're going to need at least an extra hour for exploring .”

“Wow!! From a Texas boy this place is the spot dude!!! Gumbo full of flavor, the fish was super tasty and juicy! The shrimp just how I like Em’ not over cooked! Highly recommend!! I love Louisiana food!”

“We visited Spuddy for his Cajun Cooking experience (personal cooking lesson). We made Andouille Sausage from scratch. We cooked Jambalaya, Gumbo and Smothered Okra. The food was amazing and the experience with Spuddy was unforgettable. This is a great thing do do when you visit the plantations.”

“Went for a work lunch with a large group, since the buffet is an easy choice. The food was pretty solid, not a ton of options, but a decent variety (not for vegetarian folks have to say!) The staff was super accommodating so I don't want to knock their service, they were fantastic. The room itself is beautiful but it is SO LOUD. Like, I could barely carry a conversation with the person next to me loud. It was honestly just a lot. I don't think I'd go back unless I was there touring the property (and didn't want to splurge for the fancier restaurant). The grounds are stunning, and there's a lot to do on site, I do want to go back and see the rest.”

“I ate a 3-day old cheeseburger that had been bought for my granddaughter. The spices were excellent and the patty itself was “large”. Overall excellent sandwich.”

“Good food, pleasant setting, good prices, but nothing to write home about. The day I went they had run out of hot sausage and other menu items so I settled for a roast beef poboy. It was okay. I'll try it again next time I'm in the neighborhood and see if my opinion changes.”

“Nice quiet bar for the locals. You can grab a cold beer and be surrounded by sports and great conversation. Great drink specials daily and free pool on Tuesdays and Sunday's. I hear the bartenders are pretty great too😎.”

“I've just started going to this bar everybody there is very friendly and I always have a good time and relax that's the main reason I go there far is to relax and when I leave there I'm very relaxed”

“Would we recommend? Absolutely!A historic, large, & luxurious plantation full of dark history - history nonetheless.The lives impacted by this operation is truly saddening to contemplate! Eerily, as we walked onto the property, we felt a profound awareness of what tragedy transpired on the grounds! We toured the mansion/house, and as we walked among the homes of the slaves and the mighty oak trees on the ally, we pondered, "If these trees or walls could talk"!”

“These folks breakfast is so good it makes you want to slap your mamaThese folks breakfast, so goodI don’t care where I park as long as I get some of that breakfastThese frolks breakfast so good if somebody was to rob my truck while I was getting breakfast I’m gonna enjoy the meal as I called the policeThese folks breakfast, so good I’m willing to be late for work just to get some of his breakfastGod bless this place and establishment. These ladies work hard I don’t care if anybody has attitude with breakfast that goodThe lunch is amazingMeat, pie cabbage rollYou name it they make me want to stop cookingAnd just come get food from hereThese folks breakfast was so good this my last oneI want to come get breakfast clock in and then go bring some to my dadY’all have a good morning”

“The menu is simple like the restaurant! But don't be fooled because the food was fantastic! I had the Boudins and my friend had the shrimp sandwich. We were both very happy with our choices!”

“My husband and I stopped on Wednesday early evening. We split the meat lovers pizza and house salad, which were delicious. We had the bread pudding to-go (wish we had gotten a double order). It is a local place with delicious food and great service. It was our first time eating there since they reopened (Hurricane Ida). It will definitely be a regular dinner spot.”

“Great little spot, homemade daiquiri's are seriously good. The beer is some of the coldest I've ever had. They have a screened in back porch that is really nice complete with flatscreens that always have the game on and sometimes there's live music..a hidden gem if I do say so myself..”

“Friendly staff. Candy will take care of you..local bar with deep Cajun flare. They're in the process of repairing the restaurant. Good home-cooked south Louisiana delights...”

“This location is open 24 hours. The staff was friendly. I stopped in on an early morning for a breakfast sandwich on flat bread. Everything was made fresh as ordered.”

“This was an excellent stop after our tour. My husband and I shared the Cajun medley after sharing swamp fries. Both were very good. We also had the mint juleps. Hard to beat a KY mint julep. The weather was perfect so we were able to sit outside. Great stop!”

“I've visited this spot every year for the last 7 years for the Christmas Eve bonfires. They serve food (chili, mac & cheese, chips, jambalaya) and have a live band with a cover for the night's festivities. It's always a comfortable temperature, depending on the weather outside and is a nice escape from the traffic and folks outside. Great spot to grab a cheap beer or mixed drink before heading out to the bonefires. Bathrooms aren't big, but they're clean! Definitely a dive bar - definitely a smoky bar.”

“This place is great. The food portions were really good, the food was seasoned just right and the service was superb. I was working night shift and woke up later than expected so I called last minute to order a catered meal for 25 people and they pulled it off!! While ordering, I informed the lady that if it couldn’t be done, I would just wait until the next day being it was my fault I called so late but they went above and beyond to make it happen!! Hands down would order from here anytime!!”

“Some of the world's best daiquiris as proven by extensive government research on the topic. My current favorite is the notorious Blue Explosion which contains both Crown Royal and Diesel (190 proof). Order at the drive-through window and taste any of the flavors before you commit. Be sure to keep one hand firmly on the wheel while operating your automobile. It's just good drive 'n daiq' etiquette.”

“The service was good,but I had disappointing news, they will no longer carry the seafood,crab meat,or whatever U call it in not fair there should have been a servery done,I think it sucks they just might loose me, with my spinach wrap and seafood ?”
