Located In A Historic Warehouse, Restaurant Cotton Has Some Of The Best River Views In Louisiana
Louisiana may be a seafood state, but there’s something so comforting about sitting down to a big old plate of homemade southern cuisine that just hits the spot. Combine that with a scenic waterfront view, and you have Restaurant Cotton, one of the most incredible waterfront restaurants in Louisiana.
Welcome to Restaurant Cotton, a charming waterfront restaurant tucked away in the heart of Monroe, Louisiana.
While the restaurant was established in 2008, the building dates all the way back to 1893 and was once used as a mail-order liquor store during Prohibition.
The menu is chock-full of creative Southern-style foods you know and love, like this unique spin on chochon du lait, pictured below. Served with creamy black eyed peas and braised collards, this home-style dish is one you simply can’t go wrong with.
One of the hidden gems on the menu will take you back to your childhood, and that’s the meatloaf. Served with mashed potatoes, onion strings, and smothered in red gravy, this is certainly a step up from your mama’s meatloaf.
