In a state like Louisiana, you can bet that you can find some of the most delicious food just about anywhere, and that includes gas stations! Whether you’re on an epic road trip through Louisiana or just passing through Natchitoches, be sure to stop off at French Market Express, a very unique gas station that’s home to some of the best meat pies in Louisiana.
At first glance, you'd think that French Market Express is just your ordinary gas station, but looks can be deceiving!
It's actually a one-stop shop for all your needs. Not only can you fuel up your gas tank here, but you can also pick up some souvenirs, local goods, beer, wine, and so much more.
These are some of the best meat pies in Louisiana! Natchitoches is known to be the home of this Louisiana delicacy, and they're the perfect road trip snack since they can easily be eaten in the car. Available in regular, spicy, and crawfish filled. Get one of each and see which one you like the best!
If you're in the mood for a true southern-style meal, you're in luck.
There are plenty of pasties, muffins, and cakes you'll be tempted to try, and we'd highly recommend the yam cake. These sinfully delicious cakes are practically perfect in every way, and you'll be hooked after just one bite. You can get yam cakes by the whole cake, a smaller version, a loaf, or a mini for a perfect single-serve option.
You can even place your orders online, so be sure to check out the French Market Express’s website for all of your options, and don’t forget to give them a follow on Facebook so you never miss out on the weekly menu and any other specialty creations coming out of the kitchen.
Did you know that Natichoches is the oldest city in Louisiana? Spend some time exploring this charming town, including the 33-block Historic District downtown.
