USA TODAY released its 2024 Restaurants of the Year list, which features 47 of the best restaurants in America.
One Shreveport restaurant made the list: Fat Calf Brasserie for its celebration of the great tradition of French neighborhood eateries with an eclectic spin that honors its Southern roots.
Fat Calf Brasserie is a Shreveport favorite that deserves the recognition, but this list got us thinking about some of the other restaurants we feel deserve national accolades.
From West African-Caribbean cuisine to Louisiana Cajun, these are five award-winning northwest Louisiana restaurants that should have joined Fat Calf Brasserie on USA TODAY’s list of best restaurants in the U.S.
Niema’s Cookery Corner
West African and Caribbean cuisine can be found tucked away inside Sunshine Health Market in Shreveport. Niema’s Cookery Corner unlocks a world of culinary delights. With mouthwatering dishes sourced from the finest ingredients, the menu includes oxtail, lumley shrimp and the famous fufu egusi.
