One of the perks of living in the Crescent City is the many lakeview restaurants peppered around both the lake and the river. There’s one restaurant that’s just a short trip across the Causeway and it features some of the best sunset views near New Orleans, and it’s worth the extra effort to get there.

You’ll find The Lakehouse just 30 minutes across the Causeway tucked away in Old Mandeville.
