A great place for authentic Cajun dining. Nice outdoor & indoor seating. The menu is pretty extensive including starters. I really enjoyed the coconut shrimp to start. The bartender is excellent & masterful with drinks. The blackened fish of the day was cod & quite excellent. The desserts are very good with the pecan pie being solid yet well done. The server was exceptional so kudos to her for helping out with honest assessments & also navigating a severe storm that brought outside diners inside. Would recommend this place especially if you enjoy Cajun type dining.

Long time customers, over two decades. Food has unfortunately continued to deteriorate. Our favourite dish, panned breast of chicken, this last visit had a completely watered down sauce, used to be a rich, creamy roasted red peppercorn that paired amazing with the chicken. There were no veggies on the plate anymore, used to come with green beans. The original dish was the ultimate comfort food. No bread or corn muffins provided anymore for the table. Sweet potato fries changed to large wedges, not great for sharing. Fried chicken also extremely salty. Unfortunately, won't be coming back. Shouldn't have messed with perfection.

Absolutely loved my experience at Luisianna's! 🦞
The lobster bisque was incredibly rich & flavorful, & the oysters were exceptionally fresh - definitely some of the best I've had in Montreal.

The live jazz ambiance truly brings you into another world. The music, atmosphere, & overall vibe make this place feel so elegant & warm at the same time. 🎷🤍

A special mention to Annabelle, who was absolutely amazing throughout the evening …. so attentive, kind, & welcoming. She truly made the experience even more memorable! ✨

Such an amazing spot for a birthday dinner or a special night out. A beautiful addition to the Montreal ambiance & restaurant scene. I'll definitely be coming back! 🌸

Je suis retourné au restaurant pour la troisième fois avec mon conjoint. Nous avions clairement aimé nos deux premières visites. Toutefois, pour cette troisième fois nous avons réalisé que le menu avait changé & les entrées que nous aimions beaucoup n'étaient plus sur le menu. Nous avions pris lors de nos deux autres visites les crevettes avec grits ainsi que les boules de jambalaya en entrée & les deux n'étaient plus disponibles. Nous avons essayé les brochettes du bayou & gâteaux de crabe. Les brochettes étaient bien & le rapport qualité prix était là. Toutefois le gateau de crabe est vraiment petit pour le prix & il est inscrit dans le menu gateaux au pluriel, mais c'est seulement une petite boule. Lorsque nous avons mentionné à notre serveuse elle nous a dit que c'était la bonne chose majs qu'elle allait quand même le dire à quelqu'un que le menu est au pluriel. Nous ne comprenons pas pourquoi les autres bonnes options d'entrées on été retirés. De plus, j'ai pris 2 margaritas épicé & la présentation était différente pour les deux drinks. Je sais que c'est un détail, mais lorsque tu vas dans un restaurant, je m'attends à une consistance & qualité identique. Je ne sais pas si nous reviendrons pour une quatrième fois, mais je pense que c'est quand même un restaurant qui vaut la peine d'être découvert!

We gushed the whole walk home. We were so delighted with La louisiane! ...from the instant warm greeting & seating, to the subdued, cozy lighting, the chill vibe, the cool song playlist, super friendly & attentive staff...
To the delicious filled-to-the-brim pitcher of Sangria... The EXCEPTIONAL gumbo, & wonderful mains (blackened chicken & seafood jambalaya) - being from Nova Scotia, we overly salt everything- the seasonings were so en pointe, we didn't even ask for a shaker!
Then the incredible creme brulee - generous thick crackle on top, & perfect cream centre - yum!!!
We'll be returning soon to have the gumbo again, try some different mains, & indulge in the double chocolate pecan pie with ice cream - can't wait! What a gem. Highly, highly recommend!
& by the look of the other guests enjoying their meals, we weren't alone in our joy.
Thanks, la Louisiane. You do it right!!
With 20% tip & tax, we each paid $84, were very full, & took generous leftovers home!

Update:3,/28/2026
Local Resident Forced to Endure Another Flawless Meal
I returned to La Louisiane tonight, fully prepared to find a single flaw so I could finally feel something other than pure culinary bliss. Unfortunately, the kitchen remains committed to ruining my streak of pessimism.
The'Audacity' of the Evening:
The Food: Just as incredible as last time. It's honestly rude. How am I supposed to enjoy mediocre takeout ever again when this level of flavor exists? The chef clearly has a personal vendetta against my willpower.
The Service: Absolutely wonderful. Our server had the nerve to be attentive, charming, & timed everything perfectly. I tried to find a reason to be annoyed, but they wouldn't even give me the satisfaction of a lukewarm water refill.
The Atmosphere: Still perfect. Disgusting.
Verdict: If you enjoy being treated well & eating food that makes you want to weep with joy, I suppose you should come here. Personally, I'm exhausted by the excellence. 10/10, I'll be back next week to suffer through another five-star experience.

It's very rare that you eat at a restaurant that from the appetizer to dessert. Its five stars La Louisiane is that restaurant. Let's start with the appetizers hush puppies that were delicious with a wonderful horseradish red sauce. The beer battered shrimp was fresh. Wonderful tasting. The cornbread was so good. We had to order two orders.

Main course we ordered the Cajun chicken with mashed potatoes. Wonderful! The mashed potatoes are filled with garlic. Lots of butter, the chicken was so soft that you can cut it with a fork. You did not need a knife & it was nice & crispy & spicy on the outside.

Wonderful fried Chicken! & the french fries were nice & crispy. All fresh made. The dipping gravy was delicious.

Dessert we have to eat it all. We started off with banana Foster. Huge portion, delicious sauce. Very good vanilla ice cream. The creme brulee nice & fatty, & the beignets damn. They were good with two sauces caramel & chocolate & the beignet was nice & heavy just like you get in New Orleans which I have been to New Orleans.

This is my new favorite spot to go to. I'm so happy I found out about them. I will definitely be telling people about it, & going back.

Every single dish ordered was bathing in salty tomato sauce. Awful. Very disappointed.
