Crab cakes are better known in the Chesapeake Bay region, even though Louisiana takes gold for just about every other seafood dish imaginable. While we may prefer our crabs boiled and served on a platter, there’s something to be said for biting into a perfectly seasoned, crispy crab cake. When the urge to splurge on this breaded delicacy strikes, there’s one stylish little eatery that’s serving up some of the best crab cakes in Louisiana. Bon appétit!

Locally owned and operated, Eliza has been a neighborhood favorite for those in the Greater Baton Rouge area since opening in 2016.
