A deeply flavorful, slow-built roux with tender chicken, fresh seafood, smoky andouille sausage, and the “holy trinity” of Cajun cooking. Rich, comforting, and iconic.

Fresh red snapper, perfectly seared with a crisp exterior and tender, flaky center, finished with a spicy etoufee and served over jasmine rice.
🦞 Crawfish Étouffée
A Louisiana classic featuring tender crawfish tails smothered in a rich, velvety sauce layered with Cajun spices.
🦪 Char-Grilled Oysters
Fresh oysters grilled with garlic herb butter, a touch of spice, and finished with a mignonette sauce—smoky, briny, and irresistible.

Warm, crusty baguettes made from scratch—perfect for soaking up every last drop of gumbo and étouffée.
