Dixie Cafe at Houmas House and Gardens 40136 Highway 942 River Road, Darrow, LA 70725 @tonylameats Mardi Gras maybe over, but you can still enjoy the delicious food at Dixie Cafe at Houmas House and Gardens! Bourbon shrimp, crispy wings with chili glaze, and a BLT with fried green tomato + bacon; all solid choices. Bonus: Walk it off in the gardens after for the beautiful scenery!

This place was so nice, eating with a nice view ti the garden and one of the staff members which I think was the cook was very very nice! They would even take you in earlier than their opening time. The food selection is nice but not much enough variety.
Fantastic place! The gumbo was truly the best I've ever had! My husband said the Red beans and rice we're amazing - and he's terribly picky! Great atmosphere, super friendly service. So happy we found this little spot. We will definitely be back!
We live Houmas house. It is such a beautiful place with an amazing staff. We stay there every Mardi Gras before we drive into New Orleans. Lovely. Quiet and serene. Watch the peacocks strolling through the garden. When you visit be sure to bring some tennis balls for Maggie and Dixie. They are the sweetest dogs. We have dinner at the carriage house and breakfast at the Dixie cafe. If you ever stop by…. You will never forget it.
Fantastic hidden restaurant surrounded by lush tropical landscaping - this restaurant never disappoints! The Sunday brunch is all-you-can-eat and is a great value. The drinks are strong, cool and delicious. Make sure you stop in at the nearby Turtle Bar which is only a few feet from the entrance to this restaurant. It's one of the most interesting and unique small bars you will ever pop into in the Baton Rouge - New Orleans areas. If you do find yourself eating at Cafe Burnside or grabbing a delicious cocktail at the Turtle Bar, I assure you that you'll be smitten and continue coming here no matter where you're from our how long your drive is. Guaranteed!
