Dixie Cafe at Houmas House and Gardens

We live Houmas house. It is such a beautiful place with an amazing staff. We stay there every Mardi Gras before we drive into New Orleans. Lovely. Quiet and serene. Watch the peacocks strolling through the garden. When you visit be sure to bring some tennis balls for Maggie and Dixie. They are the sweetest dogs. We have dinner at the carriage house and breakfast at the Dixie cafe. If you ever stop by…. You will never forget it.

Great spot to eat while touring the beautiful grounds. We had two dishes that ended up being enough for two meals. The Eggplant Napoleon was very unique and very tasty. Would highly recommend that. The oyster po-boy was also good.

The food was good. The service is lacking. Most everyone eating appeared to work there, so they knew the rules and procedures which were not normal, in my opinion. It was confusing. It had upscale table settings and buffet setup, but you ordered and paid before you were allowed to be seated. Waitresses were visible, but you had to go to the counter to get a drink refill. They did not know how to treat guests.

While on business in the area our client took us the the Cafe’ Burnside and wow it was nice! The whole experience from sitting in the formal dinning room to our server that was excellent to the food being so damn good! I could see coming here for a special occasion like a birthday or a anniversary and for that matter, you could come at any time and be treated like a king or a queen! That’s pretty rare nowadays!!! Love this place!!! :)

Fantastic hidden restaurant surrounded by lush tropical landscaping - this restaurant never disappoints! The Sunday brunch is all-you-can-eat and is a great value. The drinks are strong, cool and delicious. Make sure you stop in at the nearby Turtle Bar which is only a few feet from the entrance to this restaurant. It's one of the most interesting and unique small bars you will ever pop into in the Baton Rouge - New Orleans areas. If you do find yourself eating at Cafe Burnside or grabbing a delicious cocktail at the Turtle Bar, I assure you that you'll be smitten and continue coming here no matter where you're from our how long your drive is. Guaranteed!

Great place! Foods good, atmosphere is peaceful and clean. I loved the two dogs that were there, they were peaceful and very friendly. Very nice experience.

Very tasty food. Nice view of the gardens. We visited after touring the museum and gardens.
