So which Louisiana restaurant is the best in the state for outdoor dining?

The Elysian Bar

Located in New Orleans, the Elysian Bar lets visitors enjoy a delicious meal while dining in a courtyard patio plucked right from the French countryside. The Elysian Bar is located at 2317 Burgundy Street.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the best outdoor dining restaurant in Louisiana:

"The Elysian may be a 'bar' by name, but it has a stellar food menu to go with its top-notch cocktails. Options like whipped ricotta with sourdough flatbread and baked Gulf oysters keep punters coming back, while the Elysian Sour – rye whiskey, amaro sfumato, lemon and sugar – is the perfect way to wash things down. The spot is in a converted church and the prettiest place of all is the courtyard, intended to evoke a French country terrace."
