The Parish Cafe

The Parish Cafe is Cajun comfort food in a beautiful old Victorian house, and the wrap-around porch seating is perfect for families. Kids can be a little loud without disturbing the whole restaurant.

The Porch Situation

The covered wrap-around porch is why you’re here with kids. Shade from the sun, protection if it drizzles, enough separation from other tables that you’re not stressed about noise.

For Kids

• Mac & cheese - yes, they have it
• Fried chicken tenders - crispy and good
• Beignets - French-style donuts covered in powdered sugar; kids go WILD for these
• Corn bread - sweet and addictive

What to Order for Yourself

• Gumbo - the classic
• Jambalaya - hearty and flavorful
• Po’boys - authentic Louisiana sandwiches
• Red beans & rice - Monday special (traditional Louisiana Monday meal)

The Beignet Factor

Order beignets at the end. They come covered in powdered sugar, kids will make a mess, but the joy on their faces is worth it. Pro tip: don’t wear black.

Location

One block from Healdsburg Plaza - perfect to combine with playground time. The plaza playground is good for burning off that beignet sugar rush.
