The Remote Cabin Restaurant In Mississippi That Feels Just Like Home

With so many incredible sites lining the Natchez Trace Parkway, it can be hard to decide which to visit. However, one that shouldn’t be missed is the Council House Café. Situated in the middle of a quaint village and housed in a cabin that dates back to the 1800s, the setting is as memorable as the homemade fare. Take a look:

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

Part of the French Camp Historic Village, the Council House Café is a true hidden gem that shouldn’t be missed.

It's situated on the Natchez Trace, so it’s the perfect spot to grab a bite while exploring the historic parkway.

As soon as you arrive on the charming property, it's clear you're in for an unforgettable treat.

Open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, from 10:30 am – 7 pm, the Council House Café is known for its hearty sandwiches, homemade soups, and crisp salads.

Each and every one of the "generous sized" sandwiches start with fresh, homemade bread.

Of all the sandwiches on the menu, Big Ed's BLT is by far the most popular. The "famous" creation includes 10 pieces of crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and the eatery's signature spicy garlic mayonnaise.

The Broccoli Salad is another customer favorite. Perfect as a side or a meal, the "sweet and crunchy" salad is made by combining broccoli, pecans, bacon, and tomatoes and then topping it all with house dressing.

With tasty treats like Mississippi Mud Cake and caramel-drenched bread pudding, saving room for dessert is practically a must at the Council House Cafe.

In addition to choosing what to order, you'll have to make another tough decision - where to dine. Enjoy your meal in the rustic dining room...

...or on the deck, surrounded by majestic oaks.

Think your fun ends when your meal does? Think again! There's lots to see on the property, including the Log Cabin Gift Shop, which sells handmade arts, crafts, quilts, and other unique items.

The quaint village also includes a museum, several historic buildings, and...

...a bed and breakfast, so you can stay overnight and experience all the historic district has to offer.

Between the mouthwatering fare and unique setting, the Council House Cafe is practically guaranteed to please!
