The Beautiful Restaurant Tucked Away In A Forest Near New Orleans Most People Don’t Know About

La Provence in Lacombe, Louisiana offers a unique farm-to-table dining experience with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Even though La Provence is a John Besh restaurant, it doesn't get nearly as much airtime as some of his other ventures. Why? Because it is hidden away in the woods and set on a small farm. It truly puts the farm into "farm to table" and will give you a dining experience you won't soon forget. Let's explore!

La Provence is found in Lacombe, Louisiana at 25020 US-190.

The idyllic setting offers a perfect opportunity to soak up all the beauty the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain has to offer.

The farm that surrounds the restaurant operates year round, and includes bees, pigs, and chickens.

You will immediately taste the difference of the farm grown eggs and fresh herbs grown right on the site.

Another thing that having a farm right next to the restaurant offers is the ability to use very unique ingredients.

Fried squash blossoms, pictured here, are a deliciously unusual treat, one that is hard to find in regular restaurants in New Orleans.

If you get a chance to visit the farm while you are there, you might just catch a glimpse of the baby animals that pop up periodically.

Is there anything more adorable than a tiny pig?

Consider booking a seat at one of their special farmside dinners, where you will enjoy the delicious food and views.

It truly takes farm to table to a whole new level!

And of course, like all John Besh restaurants the food here is impeccable.

In fact, USA Today called it one of the top French restaurants in all of America!
