ABOUT JOLIE'S

The owners of Blue Dog Café are excited to announce the opening of their new sister restaurant, Jolie’s Louisiana Bistro in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Jolie’s Louisiana Bistro is named after the painting titled “Jolie Blonde” (Pretty Blonde) by world-renowned artist George Rodrigue. Originally painted in 1974, Jolie Blonde depicts the artist's vision of the fictional Cajun woman. According to the song, written by a prisoner in Port Arthur, Texas in the 1920's, the pretty blonde woman left her Cajun lover for someone else.

Jolie’s features 30 Rodrigue painting reproductions of works he painted while living in Lafayette and starting his career. They depict the famous, and sometimes infamous, people who have influenced the history of our state. Also, on display are works that depict his popular dinner scenes, like the Aoili Dinner, and various other Louisiana themed pieces, such as the legendary Evangeline.

Jolie's offers a Contemporary Creole menu with traditional New Orleans favorites such as Oysters Bienville & Rockefellar, BBQ Shrimp, Turtle Soup and Redfish Amandine. They share the stage with flash fried Escargot en Brochette with Roasted Red Pepper Aioli, Poached Salmon with Sun Dried Tomato Tapenade, and Grilled Duck Breast with Black Cherry Madeira Demiglace.

Now you can choose to enjoy the “Cajun cool” vibe of the casual dining experience at Blue Dog Cafe Or, you can go for the more upscale and inviting “Louisiana chic” of Jolie’s Louisiana Bistro. Our sister restaurants are our way of bringing you the entire spectrum of incredible Louisiana cuisine, and two delightfully different dining experiences. Jolie's is the perfect place to get back in touch with your Louisiana heritage or to show your out of town guests the uniqueness of our local Acadiana culture.

Jolies Louisiana Bistro is owned by Steve and Suzi Santillo and George Rodrigue's two sons, Andre and Jacques.
