On our map. We haven't walked through the door yet — here's why it's on the list.
For more than 30 years on Sherbrooke West, La Louisiane has served Cajun-Creole cooking with Southern accents — jambalaya, grilled shrimp, blackened fish — prepared, per the restaurant's own account, with locally sourced ingredients. Only 45 seats are set each evening, and reservations are recommended.
One of La Louisiane's co-owners is also tied to Bofinger BBQ, a few doors down the same street, according to CulturEatz. Bread pudding remains the house dessert, served alongside Hurricane and Sazerac cocktails at the bar.
La Louisiane is on the Regulars map — spotted, not yet visited. Our guides are written on foot, door by door, and no one pays to appear: when we walk through the door, this note will become a portrait. No points. No coupons. Standing is earned.
