CHARMING TOWNS, FARM-FRESH HARVESTS &
RESTAURANTS WITH SCENIC VIEWS

Visit The Northshore where flavors boldly mingle and life is oh, so good. It’s not a dream. It’s a destination. One that is closer than you think

and perfectly made for weekends spent together.

Moments and food should be savored in St. Tammany Parish. From farmers markets and local produce to fresh seafood and beautifully

plated regional specialties, there’s something for everyone. Start your culinary adventure early Saturday morning at the Covington Farmers
Market or the Slidell Camellia City Market. Vendors tempt with Creole and heirloom tomatoes, seasonal blueberries and satsumas,

homemade tamales, stuffed artichokes and more. Stop by the Mandeville Trailhead for fresh produce, hand-made crafts, and live music by

the old station depot. On Sundays, head over to Abita Spring’s Market for fresh eggs, sweet potatoes, collard greens and baked goods.

Take in the culture and landscape from restaurants with a view of the lake or one of The Northshore’s scenic bayous. Savor gumbo or feast

on spicy boiled crawfish in a dining room, or at one of the many culinary festivals celebrated in the parish. In Slidell, stop by Palmettos on

the Bayou, eight60 Wine, Whiskey and Bites, or GilliGil’s Island. Watch the sun set over Lake Pontchartrain while dining at Pat’s Rest

Awhile in Mandeville. Slurp oysters and sip cold beer by the Bogue Falaya River at The Chimes in Covington or spend a lazy afternoon beside
the Tchefuncte River in Madisonville at The Anchor, Morton’s Seafood or Abita Roasting Company. Experience southern fare and charm

in downtown Covington at the elegant Del Porto, down the street at LOLA in an old train depot, or on the covered patio at Meribo.

It’s not all about food in St. Tammany Parish. Popular nationwide, Abita Beer is still made on The Northshore, with the brewery featuring

a popular tasting tour. Wine lovers will enjoy the fresh taste of Wild Bush Farm + Vineyard with tours and tastings, along with their outdoor

concert series. The Northshore’s culinary scene will awaken your senses and season your soul.
