Best Cajun Restaurants in Marrero

Really enjoyed our dinner at Atchafalaya Restaurant (as usual). Loved the decorated building itself, which is a renovated house. Inside is nicely decorated with murals and New Orleans photos. Bar area is very comfy and well stocked. We loved our appetizer of Blue Crab Raviolo which comes with Shiitake mushrooms. We also enjoyed our gumbo that featured a very dark and tasty roux, and very tender oysters. The Gulf Fish of the day was Redfish, which came with butternut squash, shrimp sauce and crawfish tails. Absolutely delicious. The Scallops were perfectly cooked, tender and delectable. The Shrimp and Grits were served with heads on as is the New Orleans tradition to keep in the flavor, and topped with andouille sausage in an appetizing creole shrimp broth. Service by Corey was outstanding, and she really made us feel like she was glad we were there.

The service and food were all 10/10. Justin was great, so was supporting staff and nothing we ate (and we ordered A LOT! The charcuterie board, gumbo, pork cheeks, arancini, crab omelette, shrimp and grits, cocktails like the Left Shark, Pear drink, you NAME IT) wasn’t DELICIOUS. This was for brunch so definitely coming back for dinner and just making this a frequent spot. Loved it!

The service was impeccable. Our group of 6 for brunch ordered varied items from the menu and every one was wonderful from appetizer cocktails and crab beignets to entrees waffles and crab/ brie open face sandwich. Most enjoyable Sunday brunch

Everything was GREAT, we will be back soon! I see pictures and videos all the time on social media but I had the pleasure of experiencing it first hand!

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, look no further! This restaurant has it all—amazing live musicians that set the perfect mood with 50s-style outfits and delightful tunes, creating an atmosphere that takes you back in time. The tile floors, mirrored glass bar, and details beyond details make this an incredible delight for ambience! The drinks were exceptional, with a Bloody Mary bar and champagne cart adding extra flair to the experience. But the true showstopper was the flaming espresso martini cart—it was simply unforgettable! Our server, Michael, was an absolute gem. He anticipated every need with professionalism and warmth, making the entire experience seamless and special. Ironically, we come for GALentine’s weekend every year, and Michael has been our server annually! And the food—wow! Every dish was out of this world (sweet potato brioche with sugar cane butter, blue crab au gratin and house-made crackers, ham and beignet board), leaving us craving more. From start to finish, the attention to detail and top-tier service made this one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. So much so that we come back every year! Highly, highly recommend!
