Queen Village might be the last place you’d expect to find a top-flight Cajun restaurant, but Philadelphia is full of surprises. Catahoula offers classic New Orleans flavors, executed with high-quality ingredients and the perfect amount of spice. Everything on the menu is exceptional, but here’s a quick rundown of dishes you must try. The po’ boy sandwiches are all very good, but the oyster version is probably the pinnacle. Huge, savory oysters breaded and fried to perfection are served on a French roll with awesome remoulade. Fans of seriously delicious grub also rave about the new fried macaroni and cheese, which is just as decadent as it sounds. The duck jambalaya also wins plenty of raves – it’s difficult to make duck work in a dish like this, but Catahoula pulls it off admirably. Get a draft of Abita in a frosty glass to cool your palate after your meal. The restaurant also offers a wide variety of food and drink specials throughout the week.
