Louisiana Bayou Bistro sits on South Vaughan Street in Brusly, offering a welcoming dining experience with a southern rustic atmosphere. Guests can enjoy complimentary bread at the table, while the friendly staff are always happy to recommend their favorite dishes.
The kitchen covers a lot of ground. There is an all you can eat buffet, a full menu of Cajun and
Creole plates, po-boys and burgers at lunch, and seafood and steaks in the evening. Portions are generous and the sides are made in house. Alongside the restaurant, the bistro runs a catering business and a banquet room for private events.
Catering is a full part of the business, not an afterthought: the bistro trades as Louisiana Bayou
Bistro Restaurant & Catering and has its own banquet room for private events.
Holiday catering is a speciality. Families order whole meals through the bistro at Thanksgiving and Christmas, turkey and ham with rice dressing and cornbread dressing, and pick them up ready to serve. Call (225) 749-6354 to discuss an order or to ask about the banquet room.

The crawfish etouffee is the dish regulars point newcomers toward, and one visitor called it the best in the parish. The Catfish Atchafalaya and the blackened redfish Lafitte are the other two plates that come up again and again.
To start, the crawfish dip served with hot fried pita chips is the table order, often alongside the
fried eggplant. At lunch there are po-boys, burgers and homemade sides including red beans and rice and potato salad. For dessert, the bread pudding with rum sauce and the lemon icebox pie are the two worth saving room for.
