About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Great for brunch

Bayou des Familles, a lazy waterway home to many alligators, turtles, egrets and other wildlife, takes center stage as our restaurant’s design provides its diners with a natural picture show. It’s in this unique setting where friends and family unite to experience southern Louisiana charm and culture in its finest form. It’s an experience not to be soon forgotten.

The 15-mile drive from downtown New Orleans will take you through the Jean Lafitte National Park. You’ll arrive at Restaurant des Familles and park under moss-filled century-old oak trees. The restaurant’s Acadian-style architecture provides a glimpse of bayou life that once was.

Our menu features authentic representations of Cajun and Creole favorites such as Crawfish Etouffée, Seafood & Okra Gumbo, Seafood Platters and Turtle Soup. Our signature dish, Alligator Stuffed Mushrooms with Alligator Sauce Piquant, will tempt even the most timid diner.

We look forward to your visit.

Absolutely the best soft shell crab I have ever eaten. Do not pass it up! We also had the crabmeat au gratin for appetizer and had so much lump crabmeat in it. Served with buttered crostinis and the 3 of us had to slow down so we had room for the soft shell crab show. My husband and daughter had the soft shell crab sandwich and had seafood gumbo and a soft shell crab a La carte. Holy moly this was an amazing experience!! This restaurant is off the beaten path but so worth the drive. Lunch for 3 was $105 no cocktails.

Food is consistently good as is the service. It is a little pricey but for a Father's Day meal, I found it reasonable.

Great food and service. Always looking outside for the gators but nothing that day. We had the buffet and it was more food than we could eat.

We were very underwhelmed. Our experience here previously has been exceptional. Some of the offerings for brunch have been taken off the menu, specifically the crab cakes and fish. The ambience is still there but the food is lacking,
