About the Food at Columbia Café

Columbia Café is the quintessential Shreveport,
La., dining experience, offering its patrons superb American cuisine,
an extensive wine list and unparalleled service in a comfortable
Bungalow setting. Columbia Café offers
up straightforward, seemingly no-fuss cuisine in a casual, yet elegant
atmosphere such as longtime favorites pecan encrusted trout and Jamaican
jerk pork with pineapple sauce and jicama slaw. The menu changes
according to season, but we can be easily cajoled into
whipping up special requests such as mulligatawny soup and wild boar
chop with rosemary ju for longtime customers and private parties.
At Columbia Café, meals are freshly prepared with herbs from the restaurant‚s
outdoor garden and its cozy interior lends itself equally to a quick breakfast,
business lunch or an elegant alfresco dinner.
Columbia Café offers delicious entrees, salads, and desserts every
day. To maintain freshness and the highest food quality, our menu
changes daily, based upon the availability of certain foods and
materials. Be sure and ask your server for the day's newest additions.
