The Saint Restaurant
Food like it should be
Even though The Saint Restaurant only started four years ago, its reputation has grown quickly. After only a year in business, The Saint was listed as one of metropolitan Baton Rouge’s top restaurants. In 2021, OpenTable users voted The Saint one of the top restaurants in Baton Rouge, then later in the same year voted The Saint one of the top 100 restaurants in America. In 2023, OpenTable users again voted The Saint one of the Top 100 restaurants in America, edging all but one of the old guard establishments in New Orleans.

Our Chef
Chef Michael Dardenne has been a cornerstone of The St. Francisville Inn from the very beginning. In the early days, Chef Dardenne was the only person in the kitchen, working breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Those were long days indeed. Today, his team of eight, highly-trained professionals have earned The Saint Restaurant one of America's Top 100 Restaurants awards by OpenTable - not once, but twice. Each month, his team pushes the envelope as they strive to deliver some of the most amazing meals anywhere in The South. His team experiments with spice and food combinations that continue to awe our guests.
Our Menus
Our Dining Rooms
Main dining room
Sporting its hand-painted walls, grand chandelier, and fireplace, the elegant main dining room offers a formal dining option.
Sun Room
In 1880, the “sun room” was an open porch. It was later screened, then finally enclosed with large, sliding glass doors. Weather permitting, the doors are opened so diners can enjoy the sounds of the courtyard fountain.
Breakfast Room
Our breakfast room is lined with elegant English wallpaper and remains one of our most popular rooms.
