Bayou des Familles, a lazy waterway home to many alligators, turtles, egrets and other wildlife, takes center stage as our restaurant’s design provides its diners with a natural picture show. It’s in this unique setting where friends and family unite to experience southern Louisiana charm and culture in its finest form. It’s an experience not to be soon forgotten.

The 15-mile drive from downtown New Orleans will take you through the Jean Lafitte National Park. You’ll arrive at Restaurant des Familles and park under moss-filled century-old oak trees. The restaurant’s Acadian-style architecture provides a glimpse of bayou life that once was.

Our menu features authentic representations of Cajun and Creole favorites such as Crawfish Etouffée, Seafood & Okra Gumbo, Seafood Platters and Turtle Soup. Our signature dish, Alligator Stuffed Mushrooms with Alligator Sauce Piquant, will tempt even the most timid diner.

We look forward to your visit.

    This is one of our all time favorites for ANY occasion! The ambiance, the staff, the peacefulness, but ESPECIALLY the food it so worth the drive from anywhere in New Orleans Metro area! Don't miss out on their daily specials and save room for some pecan cobbler!

    Discovered this restaurant at Jean Lafitte Seafood festival sampling their shrimp remoulade and promptly booked reservations. Excellent food, ambiance and service. Eating great Cajun on the bayou watching gators cruise by is an experience.

    Food was very good and service was impeccable. For a restaurant rather far from much else, it was exactly what our group of 6 needed. Would definitely recommend and return on our next trip.
