Reviews describe a vibrant Louisiana inspired spot where generous portions, bold Cajun and Creole flavors, and a warm welcoming atmosphere come together with attentive service and creative cocktails. The decor and live music transport guests to New Orleans, offering a festive backdrop for celebrations and casual dinners alike. The food is frequently highlighted for depth of spice, balanced seasoning, and comforting choices like gumbo, jambalaya, and beignets, with drinks and beignets often singled out as must try. While some mentions note a lively vibe that can be loud at times and occasional service delays, the overall impression is of a memorable experience that makes guests eager to return.
Great experience at this place a few weeks ago. There are not many options (especially in Laval) for southern food, so they definitely fill that void.
The vibe is spot on.
We came as a large group & everyone enjoyed their food. No complaints there. A few dishes that were ordered: Jambalaya, fried chicken & waffles, Gumbo. Great quality.
The drinks were also spot on & cheap on a Thursday night.
My only complaint would be the portions - waffles are literally the cheapest thing you can make, & for the price, the fried chicken & waffle dish left me quite hungry. 2 tiny little waffles under a few fried chicken thighs? Albeit delicious, it was a little outrageous for the price tag.
Great atmosphere & ambiance. The decor is amazing. It's a very cozy, southern comfort vibe. They even had a live performance that played really well. The food was good, an overall 7/10. The drinks were however not that great. I ordered a passion fruit margarita which had way too much salt in it. My partner had a gin & tonic fizz that was super flat & had no fizz. I'd say overall the quality of the service was good but it was extremely slow. I had a reservation & waiting for 20 min just to be seated. Then it took around 40 min just to have our drink order. The food took about 30 min to arrive. We ordered a second round of drinks & that also took half an hour. I wanted to order dessert but was very discouraged by how slow things were so I didn't even bother. Fortunately, as slow as the service was the staff was still very pleasant & tried their best to be accommodating.

Fresh, flavorful dishes & a really nice vibe. Thanks to our waitress Daphne for the warm, attentive service she made the whole visit stand out. Definitely coming back.
J'ai aimé mon expérience récente au Louisinana en raison du serveur Nathaniel, précisément. Ses recommandations étaient sincères & « on point »! Il était sympathique & chaleureux. Merci Nathaniel!
Le plat de chicken n waffle était délicieux! Ke recommande! Mon drink Bahama Bahama aussi!
Food was excellent, great vibe. Cuisine was actually better than some of the good New Orleans restaurants that we've been to. Just wish that I had a bit more. However, no one went home hungry. We will come back.
drinks very well put together. Special note for the staff that gave a professional service. Very attentive.
Nice decoration & atmosphere but they only played Jazz music for about an hour so it lost its vibe. Food was good but no wow factor. Will not go back nor recommend it to anyone.
This place is such a vibe. Right when you walk in it feels like you are somewhere else ! 10 out of 10 for this. Good is right on point I will definitely be back just for that reason. Service is on point but a little bit slow it was a quiet night I didn't expect having to look & call a waiter on such a slow night but everything else was just perfect.
Do yourself a favor & go try this place if you want to experience a little bit of Louisiana. Ps margaritas are a banger.

Super moment entre amis. Vibe familiale, hospitalier & nourriture excellente. On a vraiment apprécié l'expérience. Nous étions un gros groupe. Le service a été un peu long, mais ça vallait l'attente. À revisiter.
Such a beautiful restaurant! The waiters are super nice & give excellent food recommendations. The food & drinks were amazing, love the variety of mocktails! Vibes were immaculate!
We were invited back by the owner for a second visit to this restaurant tonight. I can tell you they did not disappoint. The staff was on point, our server Jeremy was polite, quick & super professional I would give 6 star if I could.
I ordered the shrimp cocktail which came with 4 good sized shrimp & a nice home seafood sauce & the seafood pasta dish, full of fresh perfectly cooked clams, mussels & shrimps & the perfect balance of flavour & spice.
Rhum & coke severe in style with a glass of rhum on the rocks & a shooter of cola along side.
Finally the vibe was really well blended into the night, decor music & overall ambiance of a loud busking restaurant.
P.s the beignets are a must try aswell as the biscuits.
I will definitely be returning to this restaurant with a clients, family & friends

Second time dining at this place & it does not disappoint!! The flavors are on point with just the right amount of spice. You want to eat some cajun in an place that gives you southern classy vibes, this is it! You gotta try sticky toffee pacane pudding with rhum!!!
Just had an amazing experience at louisiNANA restaurant. The cocktails were fantastic-cleverly crafted, perfectly balanced, & each one felt like a mini vacation in a glass. I tried the gumbo & the crab dip, & both were super good. Rich, flavorful, & clearly made with care. The gumbo had a nice depth of spice & the crab dip was creamy with just the right amount of lump crab. Friendly service & a great vibe. I'll definitely be back for more of those cocktail options & those Louisiana-style dishes!
We felt like we stepped off the streets of New Orleans: the décor is on point with festive beads, warm lighting, & even an area ready for a live band to bring that Bourbon Street buzz to life.
We started things off right with a complimentary biscuit & honey butter that was pure heaven - soft, warm, & dangerously addictive. Pair that with a couple of cocktails from their massive drink list, & you're off to a great start. (Seriously, whoever's behind that bar knows what they're doing.)
For entrées, we tried the shrimp & grits & the Cajun shrimp tacos - both were flavorful, satisfying, & beautifully presented.
Our mains - the Jambalaya & the Gumbo - had great taste & were packed with that Southern spice, which we love, but came with a little too much rice, which filled us up way too fast. Considering the prices, that did leave us wishing for a slightly more balanced portion.
Now, about that live band: we love that they're keeping the vibe lively, but being seated literally a foot away from them made it hard to enjoy our meal (or conversation). Plus, the music wasn't exactly jazz or anything particularly Louisiana-themed - which felt like a missed opportunity. Maybe save those tables for the dance floor & lean into that NOLA playlist a bit more!
All in all, we really like the concept of @restaurant_louisinana - the vibe, the décor, the cocktails, & the energy are all there. & since the front of their menu proudly says'Constantly reworked', we have faith they'll fine-tune the experience to match the promise of the theme.
This place has all the right ingredients to become Laval's own little slice of the Bayou - just needs a bit of that finishing spice! 🌶?💜💛💚
I had such a wonderful time at this restaurant. The vibe is warm & welcoming, & the ambiance is amazing, especially with the live music. We came as a big group to celebrate an anniversary, & the musician even came over to play the birthday song on his saxophone. He was fantastic & made the night extra special.
The food was absolutely delicious, & the portions were very generous. I couldn't even finish my meal & had to take the rest home. I highly recommend the shrimp cocktail. It was perfectly cooked & tasted amazing.
Our waiter, Jeremy, was efficient, attentive, & provided excellent service throughout the night.
Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, & I'd definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

Really nice for the most part (cajun dishes are always nice, really) ; it reminded me of like a Downtown Disney or other theme park restaurant.
Having a jazz band was nice touch.
The service was pretty bad, though - very slow; we got a damged menu; we didn't get water without trying to flag down the waiter 4 times, he seemed new & unfamiliar with the menu but not with a humble vibe either. It was like trying to order fast food in a crowded place.
This spot is such a gem! The food is always on point! bold, flavorful, & packed with that Cajun/Creole flair that instantly transports you. The vibe is fun & cozy at the same time, making it perfect for a girls' night out, date night, or really any excuse to celebrate.
The cocktails are so good, pretty, creative, & dangerously easy to sip on. Honestly, we don't even need to travel to Louisiana to get the full experience! the flavors, the music, & the atmosphere make you feel like you're right in the middle of New Orleans.
Our server was super friendly & made the whole night feel easy & fun, with great menu suggestions that totally hit the mark.
This place never misses. Already planning my next night out here! 🍸✨
