The Cozy Restaurant in Louisiana That’s Perfect for an Intimate Dinner

Looking for the perfect date night in Louisiana? Something unique and special, with an incredible menu, perfect for a date night. It's hard to find a place that's worthy of our time and our wallet, but I've found just the spot, and your kitchen will appreciate the night off. I don’t know if there’s anything more romantic than French cuisine, and Maison Lacour is one of the best French restaurants in Louisiana. This cozy little restaurant is the perfect setting for an intimate dinner, and it’s easily one of the most romantic restaurants in Louisiana. Let’s check it out:

Maison Lacour is a French Restaurant that’s been serving the Baton Rouge community for over 30 years. They've been a culinary pillar for Baton Rouge since 1986 and, like a fine wine, they just get better with age.

Located in a cozy little cottage on the edge of the Broadmoor/Sherwood Forest area, this is one restaurant you’ll want to make reservations ahead of time. The dining room is cozy and intimate and fills up quickly, especially on weekends and holidays.

The charming dining room is decorated with a mixture of Parisian and Southern flair that makes you feel like you're dining in someone's home. It's cozy, comforting, and everything you want for a romantic dinner out. Casual attire is fine, but why not dress to impress? This is a date night, after all.

Chef Michael Jetty has curated a phenomenal menu with plenty of veal, lamb, beef, fowl, and seafood dishes that you’re sure to love. A variety of French wines are also offered; ask your server for recommendations based on your order.

Complimentary homemade French bread is served with every meal, and it certainly makes an impression. You won't be able to stop eating it! Another signature item here is actually the house dressing. Folks love it so much that Maison Lacour sells it by the bottle.

A meal at Maison Lacour is an experience, where nothing is rushed. Take your time and enjoy the company and the cuisine!

Maison Lacour also offers an extensive dessert menu, and a meal like this deserves to end on a sweet note.

Chocolate mousse, white chocolate bread pudding with a whiskey butterscotch sauce, and creme catalane are just a few of the desserts on the menu. For serious chocolate lovers, I’d recommend the chocolate cake. Two spoons, of course.
