Best Valentine’s Day Dinner In Shreveport: Why You Must Book Fat Calf Now

I have a bit of a toxic relationship with Fat Calf Brasserie. I desperately want this local gem to thrive, but does everyone have to love it as much as I do? It seems the secret is officially out, and if you're a foodie in Shreveport, you’re likely already part of the cult following.

Fat Calf was already a neighborhood favorite before USA Today catapulted them onto the national stage as one of the Restaurants of the Year in 2024. Being one of only 47 restaurants selected nationwide, Fat Calf put Shreveport on the culinary map.

USA Today praised owners Anthony and Amanda Felan for creating an unpretentious space that perfectly blends French inspiration with Southern soul. From their legendary crispy Brussels sprouts to the seasonal duck breast, the menu is a masterclass in locally sourced excellence.

However, national fame comes with a price: the struggle for a table. If you’ve ever tried to be a casual walk-in on Creswell Avenue, you’ve learned the hard way that a reservation isn't just suggested—it’s mandatory.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, the stakes are even higher. If your significant other considers themselves a true foodie, this is the only destination that matters. But fair warning: do not wait. Tables at one of the "Best Restaurants in America" disappear in a heartbeat.

Secure your spot now before you’re left with takeout and regrets. Fat Calf is located at 3030 Creswell Avenue. Call (318) 351-2253 today to claim your table.
