Restaurant des Familles

Fodor's Review:

No time for a trip to Cajun country? This restaurant, about a half-hour's drive from central New Orleans, is the next-best thing (although you'd better ask for directions when reserving a table). Just a few yards from the vast windows are the slow-moving waters of Bayou des Familles, providing a dramatic vista. Elegantly illuminated at night, the huge Acadian-style raised cottage has a kitchen that produces familiar, and locally beloved, seafood in the Creole style—shrimp rémoulade, crawfish étouffée, turtle soup, crawfish-stuffed rainbow trout, and fried oysters and bacon en brochette. The oyster-and-artichoke soup is one of the best around.
