we were very excited to try this new restaurant in centropolis & had high expectations & all our expectations were met! the service was really good & the owner himself came to check on our experience which is such a rare thing these days!
the food was phenomenal especially the jerk chicken tacos & the crab dip with plantain chips!
the drinks were good & generous in alcohol unlike some restaurants that serve watered down/iced down drinks.
all around amazing experience especially with the beautiful decor & jazz live music
Je suis de la rive-sud de Montréal & le resto est à Laval. J'y suis allé de reculon pour l'anniversaire d'une amie. & que je suis content d'avoir fait le parcour :
Le décor est vivant & engageant; La musique live était parfaite; Le service sympatique & efficace & là; la BOUFFE!!! J'ai commencer par la soupe préférée de Louis Armstrong. J'en aurais pris un gallon... Miam!
Mon plat principal était un généreux Jambalaya, juste assez relevé & à faire rèver. Je retournerais pour la soupe & c'est certain que j'y resterais pour le Jambalaya!
Super découverte ! J'ai eu un immense coup de coeur pour ce restaurant! La cuisine d'inspiration Nouvelle-Orléans est à la fois raffinée & réconfortante.
Chaque bouchée est un mélange parfait d'épices & de générosité. Service attentionné & ambiance conviviale, j'y retournerai sans hésiter pour y manger lorsqu'il y a le band sur place pour profiter de la musique dans se fabuleux décor!
Great food, nice decor. We had taco jerk, creole shrimps & crab cakes to start, all yummy 😋 the chicken & gumbo with shrimps, chicken & ocras for main course, delicious 😋 good service 😊
Très beau restaurant avec un personnel très accueillant.
L'ambiance, le décor, le band & la musique nous a projeté en Nouvelle Orléans.
C'est un excellent concept de restaurant. Nous étions dépaysé.
Le service était impeccable.
La cuisine était délicieuse avec de généreuse portion.
Merci au propriétaire ainsi qu'à sont personnel pour la petite attention qu'ils ont fait à l'occasion de la fête de ma conjointe.
Nous avons passé une très belle soirée.
Nous allons revenir.
Merci
Les serveuses sont tellement gentilles & de bons conseils. Ke décor est fabuleux tout comme les plats. Tout est savamment épicé, on conseille vivement.
This was the first time I visited this restaurant. I wish I could give it a better rating than 3 stars. However, the service took way too long in regards to how busy the restaurant was. I ordered the haddock on grits as I do not eat meat. I was left disappointed. The haddock was tasteless, there were green beans on top of the haddock that looked like they had freezer burned, then defrosted in a microwave with an awful burnt taste, the grits were bland with an awful consistency. The portion was also very small for the price they charged. The only redeeming quality was the spicy margarita with mezcal. I gave it extra consideration for the interior decor.
The decor is sharp, the atmosphere is nice & the food was very good. However...the service was way below par. Especially for the price we spent. The timing between dishes, the sync between kitchen & out front clearly was not on the same page. We waited nearly 30minutes for an appetizer composed of 3 shrimps. & nearly 20minutes for 3 small doughnuts as dessert.
If we do decided to ever go back, let's hope the service meets the quality of the food. I wish the manager considering the cost of our bill would have given something in return. It really took away from our overall experience. Disappointed to say the least.
Wonderful new restaurant in Centropolis!! A beautiful granite bar that is made to impress & their decor is just stunning. Food is so good too & their service is great all the waiters were so nice! really recommend this place 100%
Ambiance chaleureuse, décor élégant, musique jazz envoûtante & service impeccable. Des huîtres ultra fraîches, des plats savoureux (tacos jerk, boule jambalaya, crevettes à la créole & trempette au crabe) & des cocktails originaux, dont le spécial Rémi, à tomber ! Une vrai découverte pour les amateurs de bonne bouffe & de belles soirées. Tout était parfait du début à la fin.

On revient du resto, on était sur la terrasse donc on a pas eu le vibe de l'intérieur avec son décor magnifique mais tout de même l'extérieur était très bien. Coté service; il était très lent mais on était pas pressé donc ça été. Coté nourriture; les tacos jerks étaient excellents & la trempette de crabe aussi par contre le Jambalaya manquait de kicks, on aurait voulu plus de goût/ piquant. Nous sommes déjà allés à New Orléans & il y avait plus de saveur mais bon, sommes toute c'était bien
Yanick est un serveur impliquer dans le bien être de ses client alors que l'on a juste pris l'entre tacos que il nous a recommandé avec une bière Muller & une pina colada si vous voulez un serveur impliquer d'en votre bien être pour passer un bon moment qui sait vous mettre à l'aise c'est Yannick qu'il fait demander
L'ambiance génial le décor est génial
This is the strongest example of a'meh' restaurant i've ever been to. Ultimately, nothing i tried at Louisinana was bad, but nothing was good either.
I'll start with the pros, the interior decor was gorgeous, although with the live band it's INCREDIBLY loud, unlike some other restaurants, it feels loud for a purpose. The terrasse is a little cramped with tables, but i'll give that up to centropolis' organization more than the restaurant. Service was quite slow but i'll blame that on new restaurant & computer issues as opposed to problematically slow, our waiter was really kind & professional, (i believe his name was jeremy) he did a great job & handled kitchen issues like a pro.
Sadly the pros kind of end there.
Some of the food was meh, some of the food was edging on bad. The Shrimp cakes were okay, but heavily lacking on shrimp, the green beans sort of tasted like blanched frozen green beans, nothing else added to them, most entrees we had were very, very average.
Then, our waiter brought out some honey butter, & told us that the butter & the plates were for some complimentary biscuits, how exciting! The waiter then came by with the basket & some tongs, & placed what i can only describe as a biscuit the size of a quarter on my plate. Guys, the complimentary biscuits at Popeye's are 3 times bigger. At this point don't even give free biscuits, it looked ridiculous.
The gumbo was quite good, but insanely bland, upon first bite my reflex was wow i wish i had some slap ya mama seasoning to add in. For 37$ it had 3 slices of sausage, 3 shrimps, & a handful of pieces of shredded chicken. Yikes.
The Burger was fine, but for 30$ it makes five guys look like a culinary masterpiece.
The jerk chicken leg was actually one of the best things on the menu, & one of the only things that seemed somewhat reasonably priced. However we're in laval, there's a dozen haitian restaurants that do it better within like a 10km radius.
The fried chicken & waffle… i don't even know where to start, the batter was burnt but the inside was decently cooked, so oil was definitely too hot, seasoning mix for the nashville sauce was decent, but the problem is the waffle. The menu describes a corn waffle, which contextually you'd assume would be some kind of cornbread/cornmeal/polenta waffle. Something like that! No, it's literally like, an eggo that someone dumped chunks of corn into, it made the texture disgusting & was just hard to stomach.
That aside, nothing was BAD. there was nothing straight up HORRIBLE. but for the price, i can't rate this more than 2 stars, i can list you 20 restaurants in montreal & laval that cost less than Louisinana & have better food, better service, better everything. I've had meals in this city that have completely changed my life for less than what we spent here. If they cut the prices, or doubled the quality of the food, this could be a legendary restaurant. Until that happens, this won't be more than another sub-par dinner spot in Centropolis. I hope this restaurant improves!
Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle au Restaurant Louisiana ! Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis dans une ambiance conviviale & élégante, avec une décoration qui rappelle le charme authentique du Sud des États-Unis.
Les plats étaient tout simplement incroyables : généreux, savoureux & parfaitement assaisonnés. Mention spéciale pour le gumbo & les crevettes épicées - un vrai voyage gustatif en Louisiane ! Le chef maîtrise parfaitement les classiques cajuns & créoles, avec une touche de modernité qui fait toute la différence.
Le service était irréprochable : attentionné, rapide & toujours avec le sourire. On sent que toute l'équipe est passionnée & soucieuse de faire vivre un moment inoubliable à ses clients.
Une adresse à ne pas manquer si vous aimez la bonne cuisine, l'authenticité & l'accueil chaleureux. J'y retournerai sans hésiter !
Mon récent passage dans ce resto louisianais a été une véritable révélation. Les plats de fruits de mer étaient tout simplement divins, chaque bouchée étant un pur délice. On sentait que les ingrédients étaient frais & de première qualité, & la cuisine était vraiment incroyable.
L'ambiance du restaurant est un autre point fort. Le décor est soigné & crée une atmosphère chaleureuse & invitante. Un grand merci à Rémi/Rémy, le barman, dont le talent & le professionnalisme ont rendu notre soirée encore plus agréable.
Bref, une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle que je recommande sans hésiter. Si vous cherchez un endroit où la cuisine est à la fois délicieuse & mémorable, ne cherchez plus !
