Merci Beaucoup Restaurant

This place is across the street from our hotel. However, we waited until the day we were leaving to have lunch here. Wow! Another great restaurant! My wife enjoyed the Meat Pie Plate. I enjoyed the Catfish Beaucoup. It was delicious. For dessert, the "Louisiana Sin Bar" was heavenly or sinfully delicious!! My wife got the "Old Fashioned Bread Pudding," which she enjoyed, and I enjoyed tasting.

Very nice wait staff. I ordered a meat pie plate. The meat pie was delicious, although I think they are commercially made. Didn’t care for the dirty rice, it didn’t have a lot of seasoning. The meal came with a small salad that was fresh.

A local friend recommended this restaurant because of their red beans, sausage and rice and catfish. They did not disappoint. We dined in and had a very friendly server. From the tempting menu we instead chose a tasty crawfish étouffée and meat pie (flaky crust and lots of filling) platter with dirty rice, each served with a fresh side salad, and great tasting iced teas. This was a very good and filling lunch! A bit more costly but definitely worth it! We did ordered the catfish and red beans, sausage and rice with bread pudding to go for our local friend!)

Great restaurant near historic front street in Natchitoches, LA. Staff had a great sense of southern hospitality. This was the first time I’ve ever had a meat pie and it was delicious. We also ordered some mini crawfish meat pies which were great as well. You can substitute the dirty rice for a cup of gumbo!

I had the crab cake burger with fries. My husband had chicken salad on croissant with sweet potato fries. It’s a great spot for lunch without getting too much and charging an excessive amount. I was happy with the price, atmosphere and quality of food.
