Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Baton Rouge. The food doesn’t miss. Everything I’ve ever ordered has been good to downright delightful. Service is always top notch and atmosphere is just lovely. Highly recommend for date night, girls night or when you just want something yummy.

Loved everything about this place, cool vibe ambience, right in downtown Baton Rouge.Parking could be a little bit challenging, but is also a good opportunity for a small walk in this nice downtown.We had Morgan taking care of us, she was very sweet, friendly and quick. Her recommendations were simply the best.I had the Cajun Grouper, it is definitely one of my top 5 Grouper that I’ve ever had.Everything about this place is simply amazing.Overall, Cecelia Rest exceeded expectations. 100% Recommended!!!

Loved everything about this place! The starters were amazing. I might even skip the entrees & order just the starters next time. The brussel sprouts were our favorite.

Delicious! Great atmosphere & service. Highly recommend!
Consistently an outstanding dining experience every visit. They're known for their corn bread, but everything is top notch. Its a bit pricey, so I usually eat here only for special occasions like birthdays. The space is a bit limited, which is why I gave 4 stars (I'd say 4.5) for atmosphere. However they do the best they can in the smallish space. I tend to like their seafood dishes and desserts best, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

We were amazingly surprised of the quality of all our plates. We were a party of 3 and we tasted 8 items of the menu and everything was over the top exceptional and the price very reasonable for the quality of the food.
We were vacationing in Baton Rouge, and it being a Saturday, there weren’t many places open for dinner in the downtown area. Luckily, we stumbled upon Cecilia’s Creole Bistro which is open from 4 to 9pm. Upon entering, we were greeted, and the restaurant was very clean, quaint, not crowded, and with a great ambience. The speakeasy music lent to the ambience. They had a great menu, with interesting options. The food was absolutely delicious. What was really nice, was the constant water fill-up…no need to ask for it ?. The service was exceptional and always with a heartfelt smile, especially by our server, Malaine. The service she provided was the icing on the cake.p.s. the Cornbread Skillet is to die for. Too bad, I live 1300 miles away ☹!
Cecilia’s is a really good place to eat. The food is great quality and the crawfish bisque was amazing. Highly recommended it place to eat downtown Baton Rouge.

????⚪️⚪️For breakfast I tried the black pudding in “links” with boiled sausage but I had to try it in “balls”, namely breaded and fried.It quickly disgusted me so no, I'm not a fan.There was also another southern specialty here: breaded green tomatoes, still fried.Finally their gumbo was extra salty.We can emphasize the effort in the presentation of the dishes.The service is attentive and the setting very pleasant.

Good food and good atmosphere. It is a smaller establishment so it could do up quickly. I was there well before any dinner rush.
