There are many different versions of bread pudding, but Louisiana-style (or New Orleans-style) is definitely our favorite. A boozy sauce just makes everything better, right? If you have a sweet tooth, then you need to make your way over to Marilynn’s Place, a funky little restaurant that’s home to some of the best bread pudding in Louisiana.

Welcome to Marilynn’s Place!

They use the building’s exterior to their advantage, bringing the outdoors inside when the weather is cooperating.

The menu features a wide range of Cajun and Creole dishes.

Served warm with a healthy drizzle of a chocolate-espresso sauce, this is one place where eating dessert first is allowed.
