Cuisine is often highlight of trip to Cajun Country

November 11, 2007 -- When it comes to fine dining, La Truffe Sauvage, (the Wild Truffle) sets the bar in this part of the state. Algerian-born chef Mohamed Chettouh has cooked for well-heeled diners in Paris, discerning luxury cruise ship passengers and guests at the Ritz-Carlton. In 1998 he opened La Truffe Sauvage with fellow chef and business partner Arthur Durham.

Chettouh combines a taste of the Mediterranean with traditional Cajun fare, and the result is an unexpected medley of flavors that will keep you coming back for more. Seafood lovers often go for Louisiana lump crabmeat Mary Louise. This is a special dish named after a special customer. The crab is drizzled with a delicate champagne cream sauce and served in a crisp pastry shell.

The wine list is extensive, so you will have no trouble pairing the perfect glass of vino with your meal.
