One of the perks of living in the Bayou State is being surrounded by beautiful views. There are endless scenic restaurants in Louisiana that all offer some truly spectacular sights to accompany your meal, and this charming restaurant is one such place. This tiny bayou town is hiding one of the best little gems in the southeastern part of the state. Let’s check it out.
Crown Point is a small unincorporated community in Jefferson Parish that’s known for its scenic bayou views and beautiful natural landscape.
Tucked away in this tiny bayou town is Restaurant des Familles, a charming little eatery with a cottage-style exterior that will quickly steal your heart.
The lazy waterway is home to all your usual swamp critters, and there’s a good chance you’ll have a front row seat to view alligators, turtles, and egrets.
The only thing better than the view is the food! Whether you visit for lunch or dinner, you’re sure to be treated to an authentic Cajun and Creole meal.
Served with an alligator sauce piquant and perfect for sharing, these morsels are so tasty that you’ll find yourself coming back again and again just for the appetizer.
Fried seafood platters, seafood pasta, gumbos, and more are all on the menu. Filet mignon, Cajun ribeyes, and double-cut pork chops are all mouthwateringly good menu items from the grill that will leave you with a full belly.
