La Madeline’s
Harahan, La
Sometimes you crave a homecooked American meal, something like mac and cheese or a meat loaf… There are many places that you can go to find items like that. But where do you go when you want a simple French “homecooked” meal? I go to La Madeline’s. It’s a chain restaurant that can be found in Louisiana, Texas, Atlanta, and D.C. They serve hearty french style foods and make fresh breads inhouse.
Basil Chicken Pasta
Basil Chicken Pasta CloseupMy entree was the Basil Chicken Pasta. It was creamy and packed with basil (my favorite herb!). On top were diced tomatoes, grilled chicken, and a mini french baguette. It was very tasty and exactly what I was in the mood for. Rich creamy goodness all on one a plate! =)
Chicken FriandMy appetizer was the Chicken Friand. Chicken stuffed into a crispy flaky dough and topped with a mushroom cream sauce. The mushroom sauce definitely makes this dish work. I should just order the sauce and some bread next time.. It’ll be great! lol If you’ve never been there, It’s an affordable way to get pretty good food and enjoy it in a nice French cafe setting. Very rustic building design and very nice overall feel to the place..
And if you say it’s your first time there, they’ll give you a free loaf of bread! That was many years ago.. I don’t know how they do it now.. lol

back at xmas, my cousins and i went to the one on carrollton ave. it was ok but i love the country potato soup and the lemon madelines that we got from there. i think i would go back just for those two things. miss new orleans so much.!
i just went there for the first time in FOREVER last week… forgot how good it was. i had the portabello & chicken crepe… not too shabby. and i love the chicken friand, but i never go there without ordering the potato galette!
I love their chicken Cesar salads! they are so freaking good! the warm chicken is way good and it melts in your mouth! I have a picture of the salad as my wallpaper!
