Palmettos on the Bayou received the Chamber’s 2025 Site-to-See Slidell Award, recognizing a business that enhances the appearance and atmosphere of the Slidell community.
This restaurant offers an experience that’s uniquely South Louisiana. Tucked along the scenic Bayou Bonfouca, Palmettos on the Bayou showcases moss-draped oaks, lush greenery and decks overlooking the water. Whether visiting for a weekend brunch with live music, a cozy dinner, or even a wedding under the big oak tree, guests consistently remark on the memorable setting. Many have described it as “absolutely gorgeous,” “a hidden gem,” and “10 out of 10 for ambiance.”
Adding to the charm, Palmettos recently unveiled a new outdoor “sideyard” space. With twinkling lights, an open-air feel, and a relaxed, festive vibe, it has quickly become one of Slidell’s favorite spots. This addition offers the perfect setting to gather with friends, celebrate special occasions, or simply enjoy a truly special waterside experience.
With its combination of natural beauty, thoughtful design and inviting atmosphere, Palmettos on the Bayou has truly set the standard for what makes a location a “site to see” in Slidell.
