Barreca’s
3100 Metairie Road, Metairie, LA 70001
504-831-4546

I like a friendly restaurant that serves good food. Barreca’s is that place. They valet park your car and treat you like family in the restaurant.

We enjoyed the hearty chicken andouille gumbo, outstanding crab cakes with a light horseradish sauce, Italian salad, tasty trout almondine, and well prepared veal fettuccini. The baked Louisiana yams are the best. We had a delightful time at a reasonable price.

The best dishes are often on the blackboards.  This is where they list their daily specials.

Oh yes, if you are on a budget or just want an inexpensive meal for the family, check out their Early Bird special at $12.95.  It includes appetizer, soup or salad, entree, and dessert. Once you’ve been to Barreca’s, you’ll go back.

I’m Mike Clay with Word Pictures, a community service of Lifesongs.
