Step off the well worn path of Cozumel’s
downtown plaza area and venture half a block away to experience a refreshing
taste of Louisiana cuisine in the tropics.
With its ornate iron entrance covered
with brilliantly blooming bouganvilla and its open air dining, owner/operator
Mike Slaughter creates an ambiance filled with the warm, gentle hospitality
of Louisiana, at the French Quarter Restaurant.
French Quarter is a unique dining
experience on the island
since it is Cozumel’s only authentic Cajun style restaurant. It features
traditionally prepared cajun food that was born on the bayou and raised
in the backwoods
and on the front porches of South Louisiana. Guests can enjoy wonderful
home-style Cajun cooking from cherished family recipes dating back to the
early 1900s. Mike’s roots are centered
in the heart of Cajun country and his menu has something for everyone including prime angus steaks, seafood and baby
back ribs. The daily specials vary, depending on what is fresh and
in season.
Rain or shine, guests can enjoy open
air dining under the canopied outdoor terrace which is filled with lush
tropical greenery. There is also a casually elegant, air conditioned
dining room available for those preferring to dine indoors. With
comfortable seating arrangements and modular tables, both areas are perfect
for either group dining or cozy, intimate evenings.
To compliment dining, French Quarter
has a full bar and lounge area complete with specialty drinks in the downstairs
area where patrons can relax and enjoy exotic cocktails or the wide selection
of fine quality cognacs and liqueurs. Many of the specialty drinks offered
have a non-alcoholic counterpart for guests not wishing to partake. With
its casual, neighborhood bar ambiance the bar is a favorite among the local
crowd who know and frequent the best Cozumel bars.
What better way to end a day of island
fun than with good
Cajun food and a friendly, service oriented wait staff in a beautiful
outdoor dining setting.
Whether searching for a romantic
evening under the stars, a fun night out with friends, or a late afternoon
meal with the kids, French Quarter Restaurant is ready to serve your needs! |
