La Louisiane - Montréal

I was having a terrible day and the staff here took care of me so well! I had the crab cakes, the paneed chicken and some kind of awesome chocolate pecan thing for dessert. The food was phenomenal and the people that work here went above and beyond, truly. Vibrant atmosphere, cozy comfort food done fancy. Highly, highly recommend for any occasion or just because :

In a level of managerial incompetence hard to imagine, we called to pick up some take out, and we kid you not, were told no take out tonight. Why? Because they ran out of take out containers and besides, they were busy too.We're totally gobsmacked.What a way to run a restaurant!

Great spot for supper with friends and family. Very friendly service. Great food. Reasonable cost.

We used to love coming here! We are sad that a lot has changed? we haven't been since covid so at least 3 years. We used to come often because food was amazing! However we were very disappointed. It was bad from the start… so yesterday was a humid day, we reserved to sit inside. However when we got there we noticed that the doors were wide open and windows too. There was a huge fan blowing inside so no Air! When we sat at our table this fan was blowing right in the back of me… not pleasant at all so we asked to sit outside which was not that pleasant either but who cares we came for the food! So we finally get a few drinks, Caesars, which were good and then we ordered but as time goes by we realize that it was taking quite long… but who cares no rush, right?!we get it, maybe they are short staffed etc… finally an hour goes by and then the waitress comes to us to apologize for the wait and that we are next to get our food… so another 15 min and another waiter comes to us and says its coming. Finally our food arrives, we were only 3 people… we ordered the 2 pastas, the shrimp and seafood and the other dish was the Jambalaya… my dish which was the pasta was okay, asked for extra spicey… and it was a little better then the other 2 plates … the Jamabalya was so weird.. there was no chicken? But chunks of ham? It was mostly rice…hardly any andoullli sausage! You figure we are at a cajun resto and this is their signature dish, jamabalaya??hardly any spice, and tasted very sweet? So my hubby asked for some spices and he fixed it up a bit but was very disappointed. My cousin’s dish was seafood creole pasta and hardly any variety of seafood, mostly muscles and 1 shrimp… and a very sweet sauce? My shrimp pasta was ok but why leave clumps of tamatoe in my dish? Presentation was awful, the Jambalaya was a mess, looked like rice sitting in tamatoe soup.….and then because we waiting so long the waitress said deserts on us and when we ordered the three deserts she comes back and says only one. To which I replied… its okay, we want our 3 deserts. We are 3 people. FYI We didn't come here to get free food….really? Wow.Anyways its too bad that the food lacked flavour , ingredients …just 3 sloppy plates.Ps: do not waste your money here.

A pretty good restaurant I must say!The gumbo was excellent : nothing to sayHowever, the jambalaya should have been more spicy (after all, that's a taste preference), but I disliked the fact there was barely any fish in it, despite advertised there was. So there is room for improvement.The service was excellent too!
