This Restaurant In Louisiana Is Worth The Drive For These Incredible Views

There's nothing better than a restaurant with a view. Enjoying a meal complimented with stunning views of our wonderful waterways makes the meal just that much better. Sometimes, you have to go off the beaten path a bit, but it's so worth it. We've found one hidden gem in Louisiana with views so beautiful, you won't mind the drive.

Restaurant des Familles, over in Crown Point, is an oasis hidden in the middle of swamp country.

Close to Barataria Preserve, it's a lovely setting for a delicious meal.

Rustic yet elegant, the outdoor seating patio is a popular spot to enjoy your meal.

Especially now that the weather is perfect for sitting outdoors.

And with these views, who wouldn’t want to sit outside?

Count me in.

Start your meal off with some alligator stuffed mushrooms.

These are always a crowd pleaser.

You can’t go wrong with their 8oz fillet.

Topped with herb butter, shrimp and delicious lump crab meat. Look at the size of those lumps!

And the shrimp and grits is always a good choice.

The jalapeño cheddar grits really pack a punch.

But the views of Bayou de Familles are simply phenomenal.

You’ll see alligators, turtles, egrets, and tons of other wildlife in this lazy waterway.

You can find Restaurant des Families at 7163 Barataria Blvd, Crown Point, Louisiana 70072.
