The Baton Rouge version of Galatoire’s didn’t last long.



We mentioned this one earlier as well. We actually had Galatoire's twice. Once out down Airline, and then it closed, and we got it again on Perkins.

Whatever place took over the one on Perkins was a total flop too. Painted the entire building black and had a menu with easily 70 items on it.

The owner actually took a job over seas so he closed it down. I think he had planned to reopen it when he got back but that never happened. He lives in Texas now


We did some work there before they opened, seemed like a nice guy. IIRC he was just out of the military.

Good ol' Barcadia, my friend group started out of there. We drank there a lot and got taken care of a good bit. Sad day when it closed.
