Description: The Louisiana Oyster Trail spans Jefferson Parish extending from restaurants in the metropolitan areas surrounding Lake Pontchartrain & the Mississippi River all the way to the Gulf of Mexico!
Take a trip on the Louisiana Oyster Trail! The Jefferson Convention & Visitors Bureau, Inc. and the Louisiana Tourism Recovery Program created the Louisiana Oyster Trail in 2012. The trail is an experience focusing on Jefferson Parish restaurants serving Louisiana Oysters! Visitors and locals alike will experience local flavor, and as “lagniappe” (a little something extra) get to enjoy the whimsy of each participating restaurant’s 3-foot tall oyster sculpture hand-painted with flair by a local artist !
Presently the Trail has 17 participating restaurants and businesses and continues to grow which means more great oyster eateries are showcased and more Louisiana oysters are eaten in a variety of ways! The Louisiana Oyster Trail spans the parish extending from restaurants in the metropolitan areas surrounding Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River all the way to the Gulf of Mexico in Grand Isle!
Many of the participating chefs have provided recipes to whet your appetite…trust us, once you “sample” one of these great recipes, you will want more!
