Louisiana Bistreaux - Buckhead

“Michael was amazing as was the manager who came to the table to check on us regularly. This was the most authentic Cajun food I have ever had outside of Louisiana. Thanks so much. Highly recommend!!”

“Man, this place was something special. I am staying in town at the Buckhead and just looked on Google Maps for nearby restaurants and this one caught my eye. From the smiles of the service staff to the beautifully decorated bouquets of purple and yellow flowers to the talented and soulfilled live jazz band and the absolutely delicious fried catfish and shrimp... this was a treat!”

“My first visit to Louisiana Bistreaux was on Sunday, Jan 4. I came with a Road Scholar group. As such, we dined in a separate room along with a prepared menu. Chef salad wasn't an option, and I didn't care for salad. But I had a choice of sauce to go with it. I picked blue cheese, which was so good that it has become my official salad sauce going forward. For entree, I chose blackened salmon and Orleans shrimp with (white) rice and corn maque choux. The salmon fillets were prepared well done. Its mild toughness was noted as well as the strong taste of being grilled. The shrimps were alright, and the corn kernels were mildly spicy but tasty. Dessert was bread pudding (no choice on that one). I didn’t care for it, but it didn’t ruin the experience. Overall, I had a great impression of Louisiana Bistreaux and decided to return for Tuesday dinner. I was later informed that a live jazz band performs every Tuesday. This would be a good opportunity to find out. On Tuesday, Jan 6, I showed up and was led to a table in the main dining area where the band was getting ready to perform. As I was the only customer in this area, I was allowed to choose where I wanted to sit. I chose the table at furthest corner to the left from the band. The other customers were at the bar counter and in another dining area, both areas behind the main dining area. I wanted a fish entree and was deciding between the three redfishes: Louisianne, Ponchartrain or plain blackened. My waiter Shaniya recommended the Ponchartrain. It was delightful, the right level of tender with its flavor complimented well with the etouffee sauce. The last time I had redfish this good was at Pappadeaux in Austin, TX over 10 years ago. The shrimps, corn maque choux (same one that came with the blackened salmon from Sunday night) and dirty rice all went well together in flavor and texture. I enjoyed the live jazz performance. It wasn't obnoxious or overwhelming loud like Applebee's. That Shaniya and I could hear each other demonstrated respect of the restaurant for the dine-in customers. My compliments to the band leader, who came to my table to make sure I was having a good time. I affirmed so. Shaniya too came by a few times to check on me. I also appreciated being allowed to stay and listen to the band after finishing my dinner, with Shaniya filling up my water glass. After the band went on break - almost an hour later - I left her a generous tip in cash. In my experience, it is very difficult for any restaurant to excel in food, service and atmosphere. Louisiana Bistreaux hit all that out of the park. If you don't care for live music performance, come on any other day but Tuesday. I highly recommend this place, and will return if I ever visit this part of Atlanta.”

“I recently stopped by this Cajun restaurant and everything was on point. I had the broiled oysters, a crab cake, and the drink flight, and all of it was genuinely great. The service was immaculate the entire time and parking was easy, which I appreciated. The owner was also very personable and made the experience feel even more welcoming. I’ll definitely be back.”
