Louisiana Express Cajun Best Bargain Bethesda 4921 Bethesda Avenue Bethesda, MD 301-652-6945 Open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Dinner until 11 pm Friday and Saturday. Sunday brunch 9 to 2:30. This unpretentious restaurant is so small that diners at different tables can easily look into one another's plates. There is no decor. But who needs ambience, mon cher, with food like this at bargain prices?After the fresh-squeezed orange juice or mimosa, you can go for the spices or the sweets. Wake up your palate with Eggs Bayou, poached eggs on a base of Cajun-fried rice cakes topped with crawfish in hollandaise sauce, or the Po' Man's Breakfast of scrambled eggs with ham, bacon, andouille sausage, and green pepper on French bread, all topped with melted cheese. Or slide into the day with sweet pain perdu, thick Louisiana-style French toast. Louisiana Express is no place for calorie counters--and no place to skip dessert. Among the choices: beignets, sweet-potato-pecan pie, and pecan bread pudding with whiskey sauce. Brunch for two, including mimosas or Blackened Voodoo beer, should cost less than $30 plus tip. Louisiana Express, 4921 Bethesda Ave., Bethesda; 301-652-6945. Sunday brunch 9 to 2:30. — Leslie Milk March 2000 Additional Review (June 2000)   Return to top of page All Reviews: Alphabetical | Cuisine | Location | Price Best Bargain: Alphabetical | Cuisine | Location Very Best: Alphabetical | Cuisine | Location | Price | Rating Food & Wine Events
