A French-Inspired Culinary Experience
From Gastropub Food Trailer to Neighborhood Restaurant
The story of Fat Calf Brasserie
Many Southern restaurants have humble beginnings, and Fat Calf Brasserie in Shreveport, LA is no exception. In our early days as Fat Calf Boucherie, we operated out of a stationary food trailer at Red River Brewing Company and were known for serving locally raised meat. Shortly after opening, we moved the 40-foot trailer inside the brewery, and two years later we rebranded and moved to a brick-and-mortar restaurant in the Highland neighborhood.
Today, Fat Calf Brasserie serves French Southern fare in an intimate, casual setting. We are a small restaurant and seating is limited, so reserve a table now to enjoy happy hour specials, craft cocktails, delicious food, and more.

Who We Are
Fat Calf Brasserie was born from a love of bringing people together around the table.
We believe the best meals are about more than what's on the plate. They're about slowing down, sharing a bottle of wine, trying something new, and enjoying good company. That's the experience we've been committed to creating since day one.
Our menu is rooted in French-inspired cuisine with a Gulf South influence, featuring seasonal ingredients, thoughtful technique, and a healthy respect for the classics. Alongside the food is a carefully curated wine program designed to be approachable, exciting, and full of opportunities to discover a new favorite bottle.
Over the years, Fat Calf has become a neighborhood gathering place—a spot for anniversaries and birthdays, first dates and regular Tuesdays, celebrations big and small. We're grateful for the community that has embraced us and continues to make this restaurant what it is.
While our story has evolved over the years, our purpose hasn't changed. We remain committed to exceptional hospitality, memorable food, and creating a place where everyone feels at home.
Whether you're joining us for a quick glass of wine at the bar or settling in for a leisurely dinner with friends, we're honored you've chosen to spend your evening with us. We look forward to welcoming you to our table.
