Southerners have a reputation for being extraordinarily friendly, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Southern hospitality is one of those things everyone in the world should experience, and you’ll find it across many small towns in the Pelican State. There’s one small-town restaurant in Louisiana where you can experience southern hospitality like never before, and it’s at the Magnolia Cafe.
Tucked away in the picturesque small town of St. Francisville, the Magnolia Cafe has been a local favorite since 1982.

Known as “The Mag” by locals, this family-friendly, casual eatery has an atmosphere that’ll quickly make you feel like a member of the family.
Steve Turner/Google The Mag often has live music, which adds a lovely, lively soundtrack to your dining experience.
The menu is full of southern staples and Louisiana favorites. Go ahead and start off with some fried alligator bites.

Po’boys, salads, and soups all pepper the menu, ensuring that everyone can find something they’ll enjoy.
