This local eatery is well-known throughout the metropolitan area for fine French cuisine via North Africa. It's name "baraka" means "blessing" and for diners seeking good food in a nice setting, it's appropriate. La Baraka offers a wide range of classical entrees for lunch and dinner ranging from filet mignon to duck a l'orange. The restaurant also serves appetizers, soups, salads and a lunch buffet, with some selections that are rarely seen on contemporary menus (for example, escargot, quiche lorraine and goose liver pate). Throughout the year, La Baraka hosts events in honor of special occasions such as Mardi Gras. It can accommodate private parties for up to 65 people.
