Monsour's, Shreveport

The owners of Monsour's Restaurant and Bar, which was featured on KTBS and the 20x49 blog, tap into their eponymous founding family's 100-year-old culinary legacy to craft classic Cajun and Italian dishes speckled with ingredients such as homemade meatballs and fresh gulf seafood. Occasional live music provides the soundtrack for rhythmic saunters up to a fully stocked bar as the sunlight from ample windows in a covered patio incites metallic tabletops to glisten and photosynthesize.
