Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Slidell

Have enjoyed Achafalya for years. Always a good bet for a lovely meal and great service. Our Fried Green Tomatoes appetizer was perfectly cooked and very tasty and the Shrimp and Grits was creamy but serving the shrimp with heads and tails on made for a messy dining experience. Seems like the chef could do diners a favor and serve them without.

My husband and I opted to do the 5-course breakfast tasting so we could try several of the specialties the restaurant is known for. It took about 2 hours from start to finish and was a fun experience! Service was very good. Ambiance was excellent and the food was high quality with beautiful presentations!

Emily was an excellent server ! We had fried deviled eggs and manchego fries as an appetizer and those deviled eggs were so unique and delicious and the manchego fries were a large portion with generous amount of manchego plus the delicious green goddess sauce! I loved the Parmesan crusted chicken- I’m so glad it was offered boneless and it really was an excellent dish with the tomato chipotle risotto and the bits of focaccia croutons! My partner enjoyed the shrimp tchenfunte with the mushrooms! We loved the sweet potato doberge and the local vanilla ice cream took the brownie à la mode to the next level. The patio dining was exquisite at sunset and we’d love to come back for happy hour soon.

Extraordinary food and service. Highly recommended. This restaurant does it right!

As always Patrick and the entire staff made it a memorable evening and of course the food and wine was amazing. Thank you so much CM
