Review Summary

La Louisiane is widely regarded as a charming destination for authentic Cajun cuisine, frequently praised for its warm, jazz-infused atmosphere and welcoming service. Many patrons highlight standout dishes like the gumbo, jambalaya, fresh oysters, and decadent desserts, noting that the restaurant often feels like a home away from home. While the majority of guests have glowing experiences, some long-time visitors have expressed concerns regarding recent menu changes, inconsistent food quality, or occasional delays during busy shifts. Despite these mixed observations, the establishment remains a popular spot for special occasions and birthday dinners, with many diners expressing a strong desire to return for the vibrant ambiance and flavorful menu offerings.

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.
