"Just 30 minutes from downtown on the West Bank, this charming restaurant with scenic views of the historic Bayou des Familles is a gem, a soothing bit of country within easy driving distance. Restaurant des Familles offers a diverse menu, from char-grilled oysters and fried seafood to outstanding turtle soup and grilled redfish served Cajun style topped with alligator sauce piquant. Oh and the barbecue shrimp and grits is to die for, a mash-up of two favorites served with toasted French bread and cheesy jalapeno-cheddar grits." - Beth D'Addono
