No, you don’t have dyslexia — it’s @restaurant_louisinana (yes, spelled just like that!) — a Cajun, Louisiana-themed spot that recently brought some Southern charm to @centropolislaval.

We felt like we stepped off the streets of New Orleans: the décor is on point with festive beads, warm lighting, and 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 and honey butter that was pure heaven — soft, warm, and dangerously addictive. Pair that with a couple of cocktails from their massive drink list, and 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 and the Cajun shrimp tacos — both were flavorful, satisfying, and beautifully presented.

Our mains — the Jambalaya and the Gumbo — had great taste and 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 and 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, and the energy are all there. And 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! 🌶️💜💛💚
