Madisonville - Friends coming back as two restaurants

In Madisonville, two very different new restaurants share the same roof and the same view along a bend in the Tchefuncte River, one that has long drawn people for a meal, a drink and a perch to look over slow-moving water.

Upstairs, there’s Tchefuncte’s, an upscale restaurant with an elegant bar and a collection of private dining rooms. It is slated to open July 18. Just downstairs, the open-air dockside restaurant and bar the Anchor will debut this Friday, June 26.

Tchefuncte’s and the Anchor occupy different ends of the dining spectrum, from ambitious to anytime. Together, they hold down the property that was previously known as Friends, a once-humble Madisonville mainstay that saw a brief run in a much larger incarnation.
