Visit Cotton for the Southern Delta’s Finest Cuisine
Located in the heart of historic downtown Monroe in Louisiana, Restaurant Cotton takes pride in offering some of the Southern Delta’s finest comfort food this side of the Mississippi. Visitors enjoy our one-of-a-kind atmosphere and our rich history, as well as our picturesque view of the Ouachita River and our creative, upscale spin on Southern comfort cuisine. Once upon a time, this building was actually a hub for cotton and bourbon transportation, hence our restaurant’s industrious namesake.

Visit Our Other Two On-Site Venues While You’re Here
Open daily for dinner and drinks and for brunch on the weekends, Cotton has two other amazing venues attached for our diners’ convenience. Planter’s Gastropub features a wide selection of beer and bourbon, handcrafted cocktails, oysters, pizza, and a balcony overlooking the Ouachita River, while The Eli offers handcrafted cocktails and a sharable tapas menu with a view overlooking downtown Monroe. No matter which venue you decide to visit, you won’t be disappointed by our attentive service or our mouthwatering selection of familiar favorites with a twist. There’s a reason why we’re among the highest rated restaurants in the Monroe area on Yelp.
