The Bistro at Shuksan

I've never had anything as delightful as the Hot Honey Peach French Toast. The Big Freakin' Burrito was smothered in an amazing chorizo gravy and they will prepare it to your preferred spiciness. Everything was so delicious and colorful. ❤️

We stopped by and had a great lunch on a day down from BC. The concept is farm to table Louisiana style, and it hits the note perfectly. We had the Beets, Pork Cheeks, Smoked Duck Gumbo and Creme Brulee. It was all very delicious, and the portions were solid and high quality. We sat in the bar area which is cosier but still has the views of the main restaurant area. Here the server/bartender was super friendly and dipped in and out of conversation with us and the Chef Michael also came to our table. So it unexpectedly ended up feeling like a very casual but intimate dining affair.

Been to this hidden away gem yet? If not, it is a must! The Chef is the best at making Shrimp and Grits among everything else on the menu. Beets by Matthew are a favorite too. If you're not a seafood lover you can go for the Shuksan Burger or Pork Cheeks 😊 So many good choices on the menu, with occasional seasonal surprises too. Knowing most of the items are locally sourced makes it all taste even better. Oh, and if you like a genuine Po'boy, the rolls are local from New Orleans. Just go through one of the double doors at the golf course and the kind staff are there for you. They had a tasting and pairing event last night with some amazing samples of food and ciders (Finn River) that was great to be a part of. Rumor has it they may do it again.

Run - Don’t Walk You will be hard pressed to find better Cajun food even in Louisiana. And never at a golf course where the usual fare is hot dogs - yes, they have dogs too. My pal doesn’t like grits, but she could not keep her fork out of mine. Creamy, buttery deliciousness. Perfect heat in the sauces, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options. It’s small, just 3 tables and 5 spots at the counter. Overlooks one of the most beautiful golf courses in the county. But at lunch on a weekend you will have to contend with golfers wandering in with muddy grassy shoes, but hey- you got this. Really OMG - don’t miss this place. Superior cuisine. Get this - they fly the bread for the Po Boy sandwiches in from Louisiana!

If you want a taste of New Orleans, this is definitely the spot to go in Bellingham. The happy hour is unbeatable too ! 7$ cocktails done right ! Everything I tasted was great. Great flavors, could use a little more spice, but definitely a strong 9.5/10 overall. I recommend the slider and Cajun jambalaya!!! I cannot believe this place was not packed! If I’m ever in the area agin I would definitely return. The staff was very welcoming as well, I love this place lol.
