About the restaurant
Louisiana Lagniappe, located in the heart of Baton Rouge, crafts classic Southern-style cuisine with an emphasis on fresh, seasoned seafood in its warm and relaxing eatery. The homemade fried boudin balls served with remoulade and the blackened shrimp in a pineapple rum butter sauce make delicious and sharable appetizers. Some of Louisiana Lagniappe's specialty entrée dishes include the Pontchartrain sautéed fish filet topped with fried crab, honey-roasted pecans and almonds and rich hollandaise sauce, the bacon-wrapped chargrilled tuna topped with garlic beurre blanc sauce and crabmeat and the sautéed spicy barbecue shrimp. Not in the mood for seafood? Louisiana Lagniappe also has a selection of prime steaks, as well as soups and salads. Louisiana Lagniappe also has a full kids' menu, making it a family-friendly restaurant.For a sweet end to your meal, indulge in the blueberry bread pudding topped with rich cognac sauce.

About the restaurant
The only place to get true Creole food is in Louisiana, or at least in someone from Louisiana’s kitchen. Come reste un peu (stay awhile) to downtown Baton Rouge and visit Chef Mark Reilly's Creole kitchen.
