Blue Dog Café combines traditional Cajun fare with a dining experience that allows you to view the works of George Rodrigue. Attorney Steve Santillo got into the restaurant business after helping broker the deal based on the concept of combining great food with great art. The immediate gratification of seeing pleased patrons was all it took to convince him to quit his day job and get into the hospitality industry, that and his love for food.
"From festivals to performances, everyone goes to the Dog" is a fitting catch phrase the restaurant has come to embrace. You are welcome at the Blue Dog Cafe whether you show up in shorts or an evening gown. The owner and wait staff will make you feel right at home in the gallery-style dining room, where diners are encouraged to walk around and view the art on display.

Seafood Wontons are one of their signature items as well as Eggs Benedict served over a crab cake topped with hollandaise sauce that disappears rather quickly from their vast Sunday brunch buffet.
On Thursday, Friday, or Saturday evenings diners enjoy live music. If you plan to go on a Sunday morning for brunch go early or plan to sip a mimosa while you wait for an open table as they fill up fast. The music is lively on Sundays and you may even see

is, like so many dishes in south Louisiana, a subject of a great deal of discussion. (Perhaps the only thing people in south Louisiana do more than eat when they are at the table is talk about what they are eating.) Some recipes call for beginning wi..., croissants to die for, and a wide array of desserts for anyone that may still have room. Blue Dog Café appeals to the eyes and the taste buds and can leave you feeling, well, anything but blue.
