Haughton's Go-To for a Genuine French-Southern Dining Night Out

Good food has a way of making a weeknight feel like something more — and for Haughton residents, Fat Calf Brasserie in Shreveport is exactly where that shift happens. The restaurant's French-Southern menu is built from locally sourced ingredients, prepared entirely from scratch, and designed to evolve with the seasons. There's nothing formulaic about it: the kitchen, led by Le Cordon Bleu-trained Chef-Owner Anthony Felan, treats every service as an opportunity to get it right.

Haughton's proximity to the Shreveport-Bossier metro makes it easy to build a real dining tradition at Fat Calf Brasserie. The intimate atmosphere in Shreveport's historic Highland neighborhood creates the kind of setting where a good meal becomes a full evening — unhurried, personal, and genuinely satisfying. The brasserie model, by definition, is about making guests feel welcome and well-fed without pretense, and that shows in every visit.

Fat Calf Brasserie's recognition list is the kind that comes from consistent quality rather than marketing: Louisiana Cookin' 2020 Chefs to Watch, SB Magazine Best New Restaurant 2020, USA Today Restaurants of the Year, and the 2022 Louisiana Food Prize People's Choice Award. These aren't self-nominated distinctions — they reflect what diners from Haughton, Shreveport, Bossier, and across northwest Louisiana already experience firsthand.

Social Hour runs Tuesday through Saturday from 4 PM to 6 PM and features discounted appetizers and drinks, making it one of the best value windows in the metro for upscale-casual dining. The full dinner menu offers a rotating selection of French-Southern plates that showcase both technique and Louisiana character. Add in craft cocktails, a curated wine program, and the option to book a Chef's Table experience, and you have a dining destination that rewards every visit.
