Restaurant des Familles

"Menu was on point. Delicious drinks, appetizers, and main courses. Crab cakes were exceptional in taste, ratio of lump crabmeat to other filling, and well paired with remoulade/home made slaw. Window seating offers nice view of the bayou and the restaurant's resident gator."

"Not only is the food wonderful, but the view of the swamp on a sunny early afternoon is spectacular. At least two alligators, great white egret, little egret , great blue heron, turtles, giant snails. Wonderful."

"Loved everything about Des Families. Our waitress Jamie made feel like home. Jamie was very down to earth and friendly. Food was a 10 and the alligator outside was very entertaining. Loved the cajun music playing in the background. Reminded me of my childhood, my grandparents played french cajun music. Thank you to Des Families and Jamie for making my birthday dinner so special."

"We stopped here after we went on a swamp boat tour. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding but what made this place stand out was the view!!!! We sat along a tall wall of windows that overlooked part of the swamp. During dinner an alligator swam down the canal and hung out the entire time we were eating lunch. It was definitely a pleasant surprise!"

"The food was very good. We were there for Sunday brunch. There was a brunch menu and their regular lunch menu. I chose to eat off of the brunch menu and my partner decided to order off the regular menu. The brunch was 5 courses, as you finish one course the next one should have come out, unfortunately for me it didn’t happen that way. We didn’t have reservations so we had to sit at the bar and I think because we ordered similar things to the couple next to us they confused our orders a few times. The air conditioner either was not working well or just was not turned up high enough (I had to fan myself the whole time). The bartender was great, the hostess, possibly manager or Owner was very nice as well. Our water stayed full. They continuously checked on us. I would visit again. I would definitely make reservations next time."
