    The bar area at Turgeau's.
    Mike H.

    Turgeau's never disappoints! We were there this morning with family for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tasteful, artsy surroundings, great service, and excellent food always prepared with an original twist, make for a great experience. This morning, we enjoyed an array of breakfast offerings, including omelettes, avocado toast, a breakfast scramble bowl, etc., and all were great. The locally sourced coffee was excellent, as well. You really owe it to yourself to try Turgeau's in downtown Covington.

    Excellent food, staff and atmosphere. I love how many options they have for vegans!!! Their vegan breakfast burrito is my absolute favorite! They also have a table of different sauces you can try with your meal.

    Turgeau's is located in downtown Covington. It's small. It was cold. There's paintings on the wall....the theme was all over the place. The interesting part about the place there was coffee bean bags on the ceiling. The service was good. The my dish was decent (shrimp & grits). My friend had the Turkey melt which he really loved!

    Corn cakes, sausage and hibiscus mint iced tea

    Wow! This may actually now be my favorite breakfast spot in town! The food and service were excellent, quick and located on the most perfect small town street. I udually only come in for coffee, but am so glad I ordered food this time around. I treated myself to the corn cakes with a side of sausage. The corn cakes were fluffy, flakey and the perfect sweetness. The flavor of the cakes was only enhanced by the delicious local syrup. The sausage patties were good, but could have used a little more fat/salt/flavor so I may opt for bacon next time. But truth be told, I cannot stop thinking about those corn cakes. I ordered the hibiscus mint iced tea and was happy to have this refreshing uncaffeinated and sugar free option to pair with my late morning meal. Perfect meal, weather and location. I sat outside and the combination of the three set me up for a great day!

    Pros and cons, cons first as its why I wont be returning or recommending to others and feel conned. If it was a genuine mistake and made right I will of course let yall know. Cons: - charged fully for an 'included' side with a hamburger, which was listed off from a number of included sides. - Upcharged for a gluten free item, thats not unherad of, however the charge Not listed anywhere on the menu (as other gf upcharges are if applicable) nor was in informed when I asked if it was available. - advertised as allergen safe and friendly, but listed on menu you will be paying extra for cross contamination safety as well - you don't see your receipt until after you pay so you tip before you see the extra money they've already billed you for both incorrectly and simply by hiding there are extra charges on menu or verbally. Saw the charges attempting to eat my frozen muffin on car ride home as I had chosen text receipt. Pros: - id say service but they blatantly hide charges from you and ask what included side you want to charge full price for it after. friendly demenor though, may be honest mistake - the ingredients and allergens listed in the menu (listed for yall in my review) - they support local bakers and buisnesses - ambiance of the place was okay, the guitar player was probably the best part and made it 100 times better and made sure he got tipped as well - the bags on the ceiling (I see bad reviews on these) these are to help loud sound be absorbed! It's to create a quite atmosphere for you Bit of both: - my muffin was late as the first was burnt so they made me another and even threw in a free pastry for the wait, that muffin was in fact frozen when I took a bite. These things happen, they handled it well but with the amount I was charge extra for it dosent even even out - food varies from very good to basic Overall, the multiple charges not listed and incorrectly charged that I only got to see after leaving the tip on top of the higher price tag and small servings (ever held a quarter muffalata in the palm of your hand? I haven't as I have pretty small hands) today I did and it was $9 plus a fun bonus charge that was hid from me. Won't be going back for sure, sadly. I had such high hopes to start that ended up in a strong dissapointment.

    bloody and menu

    GLUTEN FREE VEGAN!!!! Read that sentence again- I had a gf/ vegan pancake breakfast that knocked my socks off ! Big bowl of fresh fruit. Also had a side order of spicy sausages and they were FAB. The bloody Maria was stellar and I loved the bacon and pickled accoutrements! The menu is super vast and just feels like a wonderful diner-esq vibe, but with quality food. I could tell nothing was precooked or premade before we ordered and the food came out HOT which I always appreciate! Staff is lovely and what topped it off as being SO impressive- they have small packets of MONKFRUIT SUGAR!!! If that doesn't sway you, I cant imagine what would!

    Eclectic little joint with amazing food. We dropped in to have brunch and we were not disappointed. The staff were great... don't miss this hidden gem.

    Love this find in downtown Covington. The variety of the food on the menu leaves something for everyone. I had one of their salads and thought it was excellent. My only complaint was that the balsamic vinaigrette was way too heavy on the black pepper, and it overpowered the salad. Two other people were in my party and got the same dressing and said the same thing. Otherwise things were delicious and fresh. Will definitely go back and just try a different dressing. I loved the little tables outside. A perfect place for lunch on a beautiful day.

    I'm so happy we stumbled upon this little gem! They are very allergy friendly, while still providing some of the best traditional plates. Fun art, amazing customer service and the food *Chefs kiss* I wish Yelp would let me upload all the photos.

    Great cocktails and healthy options available. Friendly staff. Quaint atmosphere. Would come again.

    Muffaletta sandwich
    A.d. P.

    Best muffaletta in town! And the homemade balsamic dressing was wonderful! Very friendly employees!

    We love what Chef JP is doing here. Great food and great vibes. I've been twice and plan on being a regular. Love the JP's Gumbolaya

    We went on a Sunday night, party of 4. Atmosphere was nice, the odd holiday tree, the stamped wall…read moretreatment, the lighting fixtures, and the artpieces on the wall set a nice mood. You could tell that they were quite short-staffed. I felt sorry for the servers, as they were moving nonstop. It took a while for the waiter to get our order, and then to get the check to us. Their staffing situation needs to be fixed, and pronto. It really detracted from the experience. We had several appetizers. The bacon wrapped shrimp were presented in an entertaining way, hanging on a rack. They were delicious. The zydeco eggrolls were probably my favorite thing the whole night, excellent excellent excellent. I had a cheeseburger. It was a decent, but a bit too heavy on the salt. My date had the hot honey pepperoni pinsa; I tried a bit, it was great. The other couple dining with us had shrimp and grits, and the catfish. They enjoyed their dishes, complementing the food well, no complaints. All in all, a good meal. Just please fix your staffing situation, Lumora.

We started with the chicken wings with honey barbecue sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly and had a good flavor. Next were the bacon wrapped shrimp and these were one of my favorite items of the night. The hot honey sauce was so good and the presentation made them even better. The cheese pull and sauce dripping down really sealed the deal for me. Easily a 10/10. The brussels sprouts completely surprised me because they were SO good. They were topped with pecans, cranberries, pepper jelly, and parmesan cheese, and all of the toppings worked so well together to elevate the flavor of the brussels sprouts. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I've been back just for those alone. 10/10. I also tried the Bayou Mac & Cheese which was creamy, flavorful, and cooked well. My only complaint is that it was topped with tomatoes, which wasn't listed on the menu, so I would've asked for it without them, but no big deal. We also had the Cajun Pasta which was good as well. Everything came out hot & Overall, the service was excellent, everything we had was really enjoyable, and the experience matched the aesthetic of the restaurant. I'd definitely return.

    Okay, this is my fifth visit here in five months so it's safe to say I'm either a glutton for…read morepunishment or that this place is great. Fortunately, it's the later, by a wide margin. Why you ask? Simple, it's great. My reasons: 1) Every time we've been here the service has been great. Not good, great. We've taken the time to meet/talk to the serving staff and they all have been friendly, attentive, and really good at their jobs. We have also met the owners and they too are lovely people. 2) The setting, given that's it's in a small strip mall is great. They have a large patio, plenty of umbrellas as booths, and multiple water features including a water wall. Inside the restaurant is equally beautiful. This is not Chi-Chis or some place trying to faux up the setting. 3) The food is great. If you are looking for typical Americanized Mexican, Spanish, South American food, this is not your place. If you are instead looking for great food that is more interesting, this is the place. For example, tonight we had a chicharron that looked liked two of biggest fried slices of hog heaven you could hope for. It was amazing! We also had the chimichurri sauce which was slightly different from what we have had in the past but it too was awesome! We even asked for some to go to which they said of course. 3) The portion size of most of what we've had over the five visits have almost always fit the price while things such as the steak fajitas were on the generous side for 2026. Bonus, big bonus- They are very dog friendly so your four legged and well behaved dogs are more than welcome in their spacious outdoor patio. And since the tables (not the booths) are not tightly together it's a good place even for the truly big dogs! That about covers it. So bring your fur baby, have a drink (they have some nice concoctions ) and enjoy a restaurant that recreates so many things from one of the owner's youth. And if you can sit outside, you will enjoy it even more! As always, apologies for my usually long and hopefully epic review. Cheers and happy dining all!

    The food is decent but the service could be a lot better in many areas. For those with food…read moreallergies, please triple check before ordering in or eating your food. We arrived on a Friday night without reservations and waited about 30-40 minutes for a table. First, we got a drink by the bar and stood around. Then when seats opened up at the bar, we sat there and ordered two appetizers. Before ordering, I asked one of the bartenders if something was gluten free and she came back with a sheet of paper labeled GLUTEN listing about 25-30 things that were gluten free such as dressings, jambalaya, and egg rolls (which we found out later they are NOT gluten free). I have a picture but I won't share it so that no one is deceived. A few minutes after ordering, we were buzzed that we had moved up the waiting list and to check in. My husband checked in and came to tell me to go to the hostess stand because they are ready to seat us. He went to let the bartender know to send our two appetizers to our table. When I got to the hostess stand, the hostess said that we already had been seated and to just walk upstairs. Even after I explained we had not gotten seated yet because my husband had just checked in, she instructed my party to simply head upstairs and just turn right. We walked upstairs and found a table we assumed we should sit ate. Then when my husband arrived, he went to look for menus because we didn't have any. Ava came by to greet us as our two appetizers of Sauteed Crab Claws and Boudin Egg Rolls arrived. Ava was really friendly and personable. I was so happy the sheet had indicated they are gluten free. I ate half an egg roll and started to suspect it was not gluten free. I flagged down Ava and asked and she said she was pretty sure they were not gluten free. Ava came back to apologize that the egg rolls had been changed and were no longer gluten free, and then are gave me an updated "2026 Gluten-Free Allergy Menu" with a subheader "All items listed are SAFE for you to eat." The egg rolls were no longer listed. For my entree, I ordered the Charbroiled Catfish served over spinach. It came with a salad and apparently a side. I thought my spinach was the side so I didn't ask about my side options and Ava didn't ask me what I wanted as a side. I had a side mixed green salad with no croutons. Surprisingly, everyone's side mixed green salad looked different when they arrived. Mine had croutons. Another had cheese on their mixed greens while another person was served iceberg lettuce. It was very strange. My catfish arrived with French Fries which are not gluten free. I flagged down another waitress who had checked in on us earlier to explain that I wasn't offered a side and that I couldn't eat the French Fries. I asked for cooked veggies and she brought me cauliflower. I thoroughly enjoyed my catfish and cauliflower. Others are the table had the Seafood Lasagna, Seafood Pasta, Charbroiled Oysters, and Crawfish Etouffee. Everyone liked their dishes. The portions are really big. The meal would've been much better if they were better trained on how to handle food allergies. And what the hostess did was not customer friendly at all. We learned from the second server that Ava was in training. Ava did a good job as she was really friendly, attentive, and seemed to genuinely care. I don't think she understood what a gluten allergy was but she followed up when asked to check on the egg rolls.
