Eliza Restaurant & Bar has been named a top three restaurant in the USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Travel Awards for the best gumbo in Louisiana.
Eliza Restaurant is the only Baton Rouge eatery to be included the contest, earning a place alongside Louisiana institutions like Antoine’s and Mr. B’s Restaurant in New Orleans, Visit Baton Rouge announced.
Nominees for each restaurant category were chosen by a panel of food experts in January, followed by four weeks of digital voting in February by the public.
Opened in 2016 by Russell and Sally Davis, Eliza has become a neighborhood favorite. Its signature dish, Eliza Gumbo Ya Ya, is a chicken and andouille gumbo made with a dark roux.
“It’s been on our menu since the day we opened and has become the most popular menu item,” Russell Davis says.
