Alexandria Restaurants

In the heart of Louisiana, the beautiful city of Alexandria exemplifies southern charm. The dining options are awfully charming, too. Southern barbecue is prolific here and often mingles with comfort food, so you can get your ribs with collard greens and grits. Cajun and Creole are in obvious abundance. Seafood bisque, stuffed snapper, or bread pudding, anyone? For a different kind of spice, check out some of the great Mexican fare from the other side of the Gulf. Tacos done a dozen different ways and served with house salsa are a family-pleasing option. Or, go for something completely unexpected, and try contemporary Asian cuisine made with locally sourced fish.
