The Black Forest

I was really sad to see this place shut down. The meal my husband and I had there was excellent.

Now it’s a Greek/Lebanese place. I have yet to check it out.

My wife and I went here after cutting out of a film screening at the Shaw Center. The food was outstanding. I don’t know of any other place in town that you can get the same quality German food. And the mustard tasted like it was made fresh at the table. I would definitely recommend.

After visiting the Louisiana State Capitol, I went downtown for lunch at The Black Forest. I’d hoped for a wireless internet connection there because I’d heard that downtown Baton Rouge is wireless, but no go. I ordered a Tuscan Peasant Sandwich (roast beef, sauteed onions, broiled tomatoes and provolone cheese).

They have traditional german food (wienerschitzel, sauer kraut, bratwurst, hot german potato salad). The iced tea was refreshing after walking around the state capitol. The Black Forest Torte was tasty, but I wasn’t able to finish it because I got full (good for my diet, I think).
