Looking for comfort food and lively place? Check out the folks at La Louisiane! YUM. YUM. YUM!!! So happy I was introduced me to this fantastic restaurant!! I recommend getting there early (5:30pm) because it gets packed later. Single stall washrooms with no labels is the most euphoric experience ever - BRAVO ? Hip playlist that had me pulling out Shazam every tune ? Had me singing and dancing in my seat ? corn bread was grilled SO good I’ve never had it like that before! Fried chicken, chef vegetables, Dino ribs & banana foster w/ Lemonade that had a cellulose straw ? I even tried to eat the straw ? Everything was SO good I can’t wait to go back! Other dishes I wanted to try like the mussels and fries, blackened fish, crab cakes looked good as I watched other people get their food! They do have gluten free pasta & jambalaya I wish I could have sat there and feasted all day ? The mural on the wall was lovely as well. I dig the vibe of this rad place ??Service was attentive & everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I felt like I was hanging out with friends & was super at ease ?

Such a nice and cozy restaurant in the heart of NDG. The food was so flavourful and tasty. Big portions alert. We had the sweet potato fries and spinach artichoke dip, they were so good!The main were lamb sliders (seasonal) and BBQ shrimps. They were an absolute delight! Super fast and friendly service. Don't forget to check their menu out! We've been coming and will be coming back again!

They used to get gator but now they don't. If they had gator it would have been a 5star.... To serve 'traditional' food without the Gator is sucky ...

Been coming here for 15 years on and off, ALWAYS delicious, always.
The menu on your website is barely legible. How does it make sense to represent your restaurant like that I'll never understand.

Always a joy to come here. Great Cajun cuisine, and nice cocktails to start. One of the places we go for birthdays and anniversaries. One of my favorites.
Had an amazing dinner with a friend last night. We were 45 mins late due to a car issue but they graciously accepted us anyway even though when we arrived it was near closing. The service was perfect and our server was so friendly! My friend and I both had the Hurricane drink and it tasted just like the one I had in New Orleans, very tasty and full of rum! The food we had was also AMAZING! We had the hush puppies, spinach dip, blackened chicken and bbq shrimp and it was all delicious. We’re looking to go back next weekend lol

Hadn’t been here in while (probably just before COVID lockdowns) had always enjoyed previously so decided to give a try. To sum it up average to disappointing. They seem to have lost their mojo. We were 2 couples, we all had crab cakes for app I had the famous fried chicken, 2 people had the shrimp and 1 had the firecracker shrimp (nice of them to make it, it’s no longer on the menu) and we finished with bread pudding. We all ate talked and did the normal supper stuff. Thanked the staff , paid and left the restaurant. As we are walking down Sherbrooke street the person who always raves about La Louisiane says, how did you like your meal? She starts off with I was disappointed, the group all agree. Not sure what it is exactly, but something was lacking in terms of freshness and flavour. Unlike prior visits, everything was average at best. Even the bread pudding which is usually a crowd pleaser was ok to bad (way too much chocolate drizzle). Nothing to complain about on service side. I don’t think it was just us, it was a Saturday night and the place was not packed. It’s too bad, because this place used to be really good. Here is to hoping they get their mojo back.

We went for dinner on a Friday fall evening, no reservation but were able to walk right in. Our host was friendly. Apparently this place has been around for about 35 years along with other spots in this neighborhood. I was starving so we ordered right away and asked for sweet potato fries. They came out super hot since the kitchen was just a few steps away. They had a very flakey flour coating and were delicious with the sauce. The paneed chicken with creamy green peppercorn sauce was good with the garlic mashed potatoes. Not bad but kind of expensive for what it was. As for the meat jambalaya, it seemed a bit skimpy on the meats... Just a few pieces of sausage, ham and chicken. Good tomato based sauce. Overall food to price value is a 4/5.

Poor lighting, sticky floors in the bathroom, served ice cold ribs, music too loud, most of the food tasted like Frank's Red hot and was under seasoned, all this for over 100$ for two people with one entree, one main and four drinks. Will not be back and cannot recommend.
