Taste of Bavaria, Ponchatoula...Closed.

That's a shame. Place wasn't as good as I thought it should have been, but I really liked the idea of the place and thought it was at least decently good.

heard the old cest bon restaurant is opening back up in downtown ponchatoula. that was a great restaurant.

loved taste of bavaria wish they were still open

Haven't seen one. This is from their Facebook page:

"Steaks, Seafood including raw and chargrilled oysters, and some of the most popular "Old C'est Bon" dishes!"

Having a soft opening at the end of the month.
