Louisiana Lagniappe Restaurant has been the recipient of a number of regional Baton Rouge dining awards, including designations as the city's best seafood and Cajun-Creole restaurant.

The restaurant, which opened its first location in Destin, Florida in 1984 and moved to Baton Rouge in 1998, is named in honor of a colloquial word meaning "a little something extra" and showcases a full menu of time-tested Louisiana-style cuisine favorites at lunch and dinner.

House specialties include fresh fish en papillote, fish pontchartrain and Louisianne, shrimp and Andouille sausage pasta, and chicken Acadiana. Delicious New Orleans-style steaks are served up daily, along with traditional seafood dishes such as jumbo lump crab meat au gratin, fried Gulf shrimp, and fried catfish.

A full children's menu is available for couples dining with young ones in tow, highlighting easy Cajun favorites such as popcorn shrimp and crab fingers.
