A must-visit destination for history buffs, food fanatics, and anyone in between, the one-of-a-kind Houmas House Estate & Gardens is nestled on the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. One of the oldest and grandest homes of a bygone era, Houmas House features an inn, stunning grounds and gardens, and three distinct, delectable restaurants, each providing an unforgettable culinary experience. All three restaurants—Dixie Café, The Carriage House, and Latil’s Landing—are run by Jeremy Langlois, one of Louisiana’s well-known chefs. You’ll find menus that reflect the best of Louisiana cuisine, all updated seasonally for true farm-to-table dining.
Whether a crawfish pie or Blackened Speckled Trout, there’s something for the whole family at Dixie Café with its casual counter service at breakfast and lunch. While you’re there, don’t miss the chance to take in the picturesque scenes of the Houmas House Gardens from anywhere in the café.
For an unforgettable fine dining experience, book your reservation for dinner at Latil’s Landing, only open Thursday through Saturday. Served inside the stunning interior of the original 1770s manor house, guests will enjoy a custom five-course tasting menu, with wine pairings available.
Open for lunch and dinner, The Carriage House offers kid-friendly casual dining in an elegant atmosphere. The menu features traditional Louisiana delicacies like Louisianan Ribs or Chicken and Andouille Gumbo as well as dishes with a fresh outlook, like Crab and Mango Cakes or Cajun Shrimp and Avocado Toast.
