Oak Alley Plantation Restaurant & Inn
An evening under the oaks
Most visits to Oak Alley Plantation end by mid-afternoon. Staying the night means you actually see how this place feels when the crowds go home, and the light changes over the river road.
Oak Alley Plantation Restaurant and Inn sits beside the Mississippi River, where the well-known oak alley was planted more than two centuries ago, and the inn gives you the rare opportunity to stay on the grounds rather than passing through. For many people, this is a single night within a broader Louisiana journey, chosen to add understanding and perspective rather than just scenery. It works best if you want time to slow down, walk the grounds without tour groups, and engage with the site's history thoughtfully.
Why we love Oak Alley Plantation Restaurant & Inn
-
Staying overnight means you see and experience Oak Alley after the day visitors have gone.
-
Early mornings offer the chance to walk the alley before the tour buses arrive. With no one else around, the scale of the place really comes through, and the setting makes more sense.
-
The on-site restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch in a relaxed, traditional space, with a menu rooted in Southern and Creole flavours.
-
The cottages suit the setting well, comfortable and unfussy with a sense of age that adds character.
Facilities
The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch, serving dishes such as gumbo, crawfish étouffée, red beans and rice, and po boys that suit a day spent exploring the grounds. In the evening the restaurant closes, so your option is the pre-ordered meal service, with ready-to-heat dishes like gumbo or pasta with shrimp delivered to your cottage. If you’d head out to a local restaurant, staff can help with recommendations and reservations.
