The Saint Restaurant
Food like it should be
Even though The Saint Restaurant only started a few 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. In 2025, The Saint was voted one of the top 3 Brunch Restaurants in Louisiana along with Brennans and La Petitein New Orleans. In 2025, Michelin recognized The Saint as a Recommended Restaurant, followed shortly thereafter by DiRōNA awarding The Saint as one of its Distinguished Restaurants of North America.

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 multiple awards by local press such as Country Roads Magazine, Michelin, and OpenTable. 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, and his list of rewards keeps growing.
Our Menus
Our Dining Rooms
Main dining room
Elegant hand-painted walls with hidden jewels, grand chandelier, and fireplace, the traditional 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, beautiful draperies, and remains one of our most popular rooms.
