We love to cook in Louisiana, but we also love going out to eat for a delicious meal.

From local mom and pop restaurants to chain restaurants, we've all got our favorites of both.

Sometimes we like to splurge and treat ourselves with some fine dining to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and more.

Whether you live in Lafayette, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Shreveport, or really any place in between, you'll find an incredible upscale fine dinning establishment.

However, there's one Louisiana restaurant that will set you back more than any other restaurant in the entire State.
