quoteI hesitate to rave about this wonderful piece of Christchurch, as it's peaceful, uncluttered atmosphere is merely a drop in the in the bucket of brilliance that is Bayou and La Famia! I was taken by a friend and have since eagerly returned to introduce many to the fine food, great wine and outstanding, relaxed service. You will always feel comfortable and welcomed dining here!

quoteHighly recommend the Jambalaya. Had as a takeaway. Having never tasted one before, wasn't sure what to expect but just the right amount of smokey, spicy flavours came through to make you keep thinking about it. Definitely have again. In fact, had takeaway pizza the next night - good crispy base, good fresh flavours without too much going on. So, 2 nights in a row from the same restaurant - they're definitely doing things right.

quoteI was desperately hungry and had the most delectable baguette filled with ham and salad, followed by a fresh fruit concoction and coffee. All so fresh and exactly what I needed!

About Bayou


 


Our restaurant is a family run business bringing Cajun and Creole cuisine to Sumner.


Cajun and Creole Cuisine


Cajun cooking is characterized by simple "one pot meals," which use ingredients from the swamp floor pantry. Creole is an aristocratic "melting pot cuisine" that developed in New Orleans.
Cajun food is certainly not hot and spicy just well-seasoned, with a wonderful blend of fresh onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic, green onions and parsley. These seasonings along with the dark brown Cajun roux are the basis of flavour.


Louisiana Creole cuisine makes use of the same Holy trinity (in this case chopped celery, bell peppers, and onions) as Cajun cuisine, but has a large variety of European, French Caribbean, African, and American influences.
