Maison Lacour: Baton Rouge's Little French Cottage Off Harrell's Ferry Road

Some of the best date nights in Baton Rouge start with a turn off N. Harrell's Ferry Road and a walk up to a small cottage with white tablecloths waiting inside. That cottage is Maison Lacour, a traditional French restaurant that has been serving the city since 1986. It is a family story as much as a restaurant. The tradition was started by John and Jackie Greaud, and Chef Michael Jetty started his career there in 1991 as an apprentice under Chef Jacqueline Greaud. Along the way he met Eva, the restaurant's hostess and the Greauds' daughter. The two married, and today they run Maison Lacour together, keeping the family's traditions going while adding touches of their own.
