What a find!! Amazing atmosphere, highly attentive staff & food that will remind you of the best of New Orleans & the South. We have been utterly charmed! A new favourite for us, you must check it out. Outstanding choices are the deviled eggs & the seafood boil! Don't walk, RUN.

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.
I'm disappointed... I was expecting flavorful food, but it was not good & it was overpriced... I'm not giving 1 star because the service is impeccable, the restaurant is beautiful & the drinks are great. We had jambalaya, the rice had hard uncooked pieces. The jerk chicken seemed like it wasn't seasoned, it was like a tomato sauce, very tasteless... so sad for such a beautiful restaurant !
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!
