St. Tammany Parish is filled with family owned and family focused businesses, which exactly describes Restaurant Cote and the Maple Room in Olde Towne Slidell. Chef Jeremy Reilly and his wife Allysa opened their family business almost ten years ago and while growing the restaurant, grew their own family as well, adding two children to the Reilly family mix. Chef Jeremy’s food has deep roots in traditional French cuisine with distinctively Louisiana accents. The Maple Room and Restaurant Cote are favorite gathering places for parade watching or any special activity centered in Olde Towne Slidell. From August 1st through September 15th Restaurant Cote offers a special Tammany Taste of Summer menu featuring a three-course dinner for Two, priced at just $39.99 with delicious choices like Shrimp with a Cognac Cream Reduction, Louisiana Frog Legs Bordelaise, Blackened Drum with a Southern Pecan Beurre Blanc and everyone’s favorite Bananas Foster Bread Pudding for dessert.Over fifty St. Tammany businesses are participating this year delivering delicious deals on dining, hotel stays, exciting attractions and more.
