Superbe ambiance. Nourriture extrêmement goûteuse. Ma tablée a été ravie. Service hors pair de Demi: pétillante, à l'écoute, avec un souci du détail. Je recommande.
The atmosphere was really nice, there was a group of jazz playing, had a really great night. The service was really good, our waitress Demi had such a positive energy & was genuinely nice.
Very good taste of food. Different culture definitely need to try! Demi was our waitress & she was amazing. The atmosphere was wonderful with the jazz group & their music. Definitely recommend!
Very nice atmosphere. Cocktails were great & our barman was very knowledgeable & helpful with his recommendations.
We ordered (too many) appetizers- the deviled eggs & Creole Butterfly shrimp were excellent. Jambalaya & chicken & waffey were also quite good - juicy & flavourful.
Service was very disappointing though - I reserved a table well in advance & without notice they downgraded my party to the bar & refused to accommodate, maintaining a very indifferent attitude. They said it was a'last minute' change but didn't bother to call or let me know in advance. There were available tables the whole time we were seated.
J'ai vraiment aimé mon expérience dans ce restaurant. Le décor est magnifique & l'ambiance est vraiment agréable. La cuisine est bonne & les portions sont généreuses. Le directeur Kodjo ainsi que notre serveuse Romy ont fait un travail remarquable & ont su accommoder certains d'entre nous. Je vous recommande vivement cet endroit, vous ne serez pas déçus 🙌🏾

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! 🌶?💜💛💚
Went here for the first time with a group of people on Saturday October 25. Reservation was for 2030. As we were waiting for our reserved table I saw many large groups there celebrating birthdays.
Live jazz band, beautiful decor. Music was very loud for us, couldn't talk to each other without yelling.
Food & drinks took a very long time to come out, first round of drinks we received at 2125 our mains arrived at 2200, half the table received main courses while the other half had to wait another 15 minutes. Dessert was served at 2305. Water glasses left empty for long time between refills. Didn't see our waitress for almost an hour so I had to get up from the table & go to bar to refill my own glass, waitstaff went around me as I was pouring my own water behind the bar! Manager just stood there not helping. He didn't help bring out orders or come to any table to make sure things were going well (as this is a newer restaurant this is a must). Our table reservation was for 2030 we paid & left at 2350, on their website under reservations it says'A maximum time of 2hours will be allotted for each reservation. After 2 hours, the table must be released. Thank you for understanding' maybe we needed to place our food order when we made the reservation?
The bathrooms need better signage, as I entered the woman's bathroom there was an inebriated male guest in there with three women telling him that this is women's restroom. Male guest was arguing that the men's had only stall whereas the women's had three. I had to raise my voice at him to get him to leave the women's bathroom.
One of my friends tried to speak with the manager about some issues & she was blown off, was told'I don't have time to hear this, send me an email' Uhm so what is his job then? Doesn't help waitstaff or kitchen, doesn't help customers when they are in need, but he does have time to go out for a smoke break every 20 minutes?
All in all I do not recommend this restaurant, food was mediocre, staff was less than, the manager is absolutely incompetent. This place is run very poor.

Nous avons visité La Louisiana pour la fête d'un ami. L'ambiance était incroyable : la décoration, le service - tout ! Nous avons adoré, surtout le service attentionné de la jeune femme. Si je devais y retourner, ce serait avant tout pour l'excellent service. Je n'ai absolument rien à redire à ce niveau-là.
Par contre, un petit bémol : les deux assiettes n'étaient pas parfaites.
De mon côté, ma salade Boston avec des crevettes était tout simplement incroyable ! Je recommande aussi à tout le monde d'essayer le jerk chicken, qui était absolument délicieux ainsi que les boules de jambayas.
The concept is original but work is required to make this a must stop.
Starters were below average, main dish was barely meeting expectations & service was very long - i had ordered cocktails & our glasses (cocktails & water) were empty for a long time.
We sat at 9, ordered the food around 9:30 & reveived our food at 10:45! Our waitress was polite & did her best but overall service was not meeting expectations, very long & simply below average.
Jazz band was a nice touch but we could barely hear ourselves talk (maybe tone down the volume a bit). But it was nice!
I wanted to spend money but they failed to capitalize on that.
Final verdict: Not meeting expectation, food was not spiced adequately (portions were generous).
My overall rating reflects a 4 out of 10 experience & i would not recommend for now.
Have to give this resto a 2 star unfortunately... Food was pretty good, but service was really lacking. We were a group of 8 & felt as though we were forgotten about. We ordered 2 appetizers for the table, & wrong appetizer was brought to us. The same mistake order kept coming back to us 3 times, although we sent it back each time having to clarify what we ordered. Felt as though the staff didn't know the menu very well, as the bus boy brought our dishes out, he didn't know what he was bringing out to the table 🥲 We had to wait 2 hours for our main dishes & the restaurant wasn't even that busy. Spoke to the manager, who was very receptive & kind enough to bring shots to the table, definitely boosted morale. Overall, decent restaurant however our experience was really lacking for our first there.
Very beautiful interior, must give credit where it's due 😂 Wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a well rounded restaurant, although i do know it's a new restaurant still learning.
Pour vrai, une très belle découverte. Au début, j'avais peur que ce soit un restaurant thématique qui mettait l'accent sur le décor & qui délaissait la nourriture, mais loin de là. Tout était super bon, les cocktails, les entrées ainsi que les plats principaux étaient exquis. Franchement, c'est une très belle découverte. Ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas mangé aussi bien.
Les seuls petits bémols sont que la musique était assez forte (malgré qu'elle n'était pas déplaisante) & que la nourriture était relativement assez épicée (du moins pour mon palais).
Somme toute, j'y retournerais volontiers. Mes coups de coeur sont la trempette chaude de crabe ainsi que le poulet frit sur gaufre de maïs.
