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.
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!

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.

Incredible food & great service. We had the spinach & artichoke dip, crab cakes, & coconut shrimp to start, & then the seafood jambalaya & chicken paneed. Every dish was 10/10.
Delivery: jambalaya was good, wish they replaced the zillions of mussels with different seafood though. The shrimps were nice.
Friend chicken was disappointing, too salty & slightly charred.
Bread pudding was delicious. Perfect texture & sweetness with that sauce even after travel time.
we discover this restaurent in the 90s my wife & I used to go a few times a year it was always amazing but the last few times we had dinner there we where not impress with the foods at all,we keep coming back because it was so amazing back then but now the menu change, the blacken chicken was over cook & dry,the shrimps in my wife pasta was also over cook,the crab cakes are ok,the hushpuppy are very good i think its because of the dipping sauce that amazing,i would say the last 3 times we visited we where not happy with the food,i think we are done for good this time.
Hush puppies & crab cakes were over cooked in old oil. We had Blackened Chicken & it was not spicy enough & not blacked enough. Usually Cajun blacked protein have a black spicy crisp side. The Cajun limonade was very good so was the double chocolate pecan pie
We used to love this restaurant & went back to our old neighbourhood yesterday just to eat there, but unfortunately, we were greatly disappointed. Although the atmosphere was still special & the service excellent, the food was underwhelming if not outright bad. We had the blackened chicken & seafood jambalaya, one of their signature dishes. The chicken was plain &, as one reviewer wrote, the only thing you could taste in the seafood jambalaya was canned tomatoes & tomato paste. There were two shrimp in the whole dish & we did not see or taste any fish. The presentation was basically just some food thrown onto a plate. Very sad that such a great restaurant with so much potential has been reduced to this.
We walked in without a reservation & were able to get a table on the patio. Very friendly service. For drinks, we had the hurricane, Cajun lemonade, & the sangria. They were all delicious, & the lemonade was very zesty. Our apps were the crab cakes & the cornbread. The crab cakes were delicious (make sure to squeeze the lemon onto them it makes them even better) though maybe ask for extra sauce on the side if you like a lot of sauce. The cornbread was delightful, perfect sweetness & wonderful texture & it was grilled which added an amazing flavour. For mains we got the blackened chicken & the Voodoo pasta. The chicken was juicy & the spices were delicious, but the excellent garlic mash nearly stole the show. My favourite dish was the Voodoo pasta. It was spicy & creamy, & the sausage was delicious. I could eat that everyday & be very happy. Finally we ended with the bananas Foster & it was AMAZING. The only thing is if you like a lot of ice cream with your dessert, maybe ask for an extra scoop.
I was invited to La Louisiane for an excellent political discussion. Let's say that the food brought peace to our conversation. That special chicken with the cajun sauce was incredible! The bear was smooth, & the smile that came with the service was super bright. I highly recommend this restaurant. The dessert was amazing!
