Looking for comfort food & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & welcoming. I felt like I was hanging out with friends & was super at ease 🫶🏻View more

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

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 ...View more

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 & our server was so friendly! My friend & I both had the Hurricane drink & it tasted just like the one I had in New Orleans, very tasty & full of rum! The food we had was also AMAZING! We had the hush puppies, spinach dip, blackened chicken & bbq shrimp & it was all delicious. We're looking to go back next weekend lolView more

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 & 1 had the firecracker shrimp (nice of them to make it, it’s no longer on the menu) & we finished with bread pudding. We all ate talked & did the normal supper stuff. Thanked the staff , paid & 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 & 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 & 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.View more

Carte courte. Peut de choix typiquement de cette partie de la planète. Les moules étaient sablonneuses & la portion servie serait plutôt digne d’une entrée. L’aération du resto laisse à désirer, soyez certain que vos vêtements sentiront pendant plusieurs heures après votre visite…View more

Très bon restaurant, l'endroit idéal pour vivre une expérience du sud des Etats-Unis, j'ai eu un gros coup de cœur le poisson noircie ( morue) , le gumbo & le cocktail cajun ( limonade). Les portions sont assez généreuses!View more

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

I was having a terrible day & the staff here took care of me so well! I had the crab cakes, the paneed chicken & some kind of awesome chocolate pecan thing for dessert. The food was phenomenal & the people that work here went above & beyond, truly. Vibrant atmosphere, cozy comfort food done fancy. Highly, highly recommend for any occasion or just because :)View more

Je commande toujours les pâtes Magnolia, il y a des crevettes & une sauce rosée d'enfer. Mon conjoint, le Jambalaya. Les petits pains au zucchin en entrée sont délicieux & n'oubliez pas de goûter aux frites de patates sucrées avec les épices cajuns Mmm. Accompagné d'un bloody caesar cajun, vous êtes au paradis. Tout cela avec de la musique Jazz. Je connais ce resto depuis plus de 20 ans & j'espère qu'il restera ouvert encore 20 autres années, merci.

My wife & I came to this restaurant expecting something different. We both love Louisiana creole style food & figure this would be the place that would best represent. There's not many restaurants of its kind in the greater Montreal area so we gave it a shot.

I ordered jambalaya ($18) & my wife ordered the dinosaur ribs ($28). We also had a crab cake appetizer ($11).

The service was slow to begin with however the single waitress had her hands full & she did do a good job. The servers however were annoying, constantly cleaning our table that didn't need cleaning & taking away our plates without asking us. We had sweet potato fries remaining & he just took them away assuming we were done. He went so fast I didn't even have a chance to tell him.

As for the food. The crab cake app was good however way overpriced. It was 5 very small meatball size crab cake balls on a plate for $11?!

When our mains came I was a bit disappointed. My jambalaya was not really a jambalaya. Usually they are served in a bowl & just a mixed mess. They decided to separate everything neatly which made it look like a completely different dish. I had to ask the waitress if my plate was in fact what I ordered. Aside from that, the chicken was incredibly dry, I barely tasted any andouille sausage & the overall taste was not that of a jambalaya.

The dinosaur ribs my wife ordered consisted of 5 big bones with a bit of meat stuck on them. Honestly it looks impressive until you start seeing how little meat there is on these monster sized bones. The flavor was there but nothing special. For $28 you would expect more & not leave hungry.

My overall impression of this place was disappointing & I find the prices a rip off for what you get.

Ce n'est pas mauvais, mais pas très bon non plus! De manière générale, ça manque de finesse. Je ne sais pas si c'est le propre de la cuisine cajun ou c'est la manière du restaurant.

Le pain servi était bon & frais & tout le monde a apprécié les petits beignets cajuns très légèrement épicés.

Les boulettes de crabes étaient très bonnes.

Le guacamole était sans personnalité & servit avec des pointes de pain pita rôties, mais humides. Pas terrible.

Du combo cajun que j'ai mangé, je peux dire que les sauces étaient épaisses, gluantes & au goût mal défini. Le poulet à l'étouffé & le riz du jambalaya étaient secs mais les crevettes cuites correctement. Les légumes dans l'assiette se résumaient à trois ou quatre bouts de poivron.

J'ai apprécié les frites minces & tendres (aux patates douces?) que j'ai goutées de l'assiette de ma femme.

La plupart des convives avaient des commentaires similaires sauf pour une personne qui a grandement apprécié son saumon & la soupe servie en entrée.

L'ambiance est sympathique, mais le niveau de bruit était parfois insupportable, surtout avec la musique qui semblait vouloir enterrer les conversations de plus en plus fortes au fur & à mesure que le restaurant se remplissait.

Le service en général était bon sauf pour l’aide-serveur qui semblait de mauvais poil, qui n'avait aucune façon & était brusque.

Avec une meilleure qualité de nourriture, les prix auraient été raisonnables, mais compte tenu de la qualité, c'est un peu cher.
