Located on the banks of the Mississippi River and in the heart of the city of Kenner you can find Rivertown.
A historic place with a variety of cultural and family attractions. You can find restaurants, museums, government offices,theaters, churches, among many other historical buildings.
It offers tourists and locals sixteen blocks of pure entertainment. Every Saturday a Farmer’s Market sets up allowing people to shop fresh, local products.
During the month of October, a well-known festival known as Oktoberfest goes on. In the month of April the Italian community that resides in Louisiana gathers together to celebreate it’s heritage with the Italian Fest.
Both festivals offer music,drinks, and food giving people the perfect excuse to get a break.
It was right in Rivertown where Ricardo and Lilian Molina started their own business called “Fleur de Lily Bakery.” Both, Honduran descent and immigrants came together to create a Latin American restaurant very unique and different, something that has never before been seen in the area.
It is not only a restaurant, but also a café and bar. It has three social areas, one outdoor and two indoor giving clients the choice to enjoy an afternoon hanging around with friends or dance the night away with live music.
The menu is extensive and varied. In it you will find from an exquisite flan to a delicious baleada for breakfast.
“We want people to come and finda little bit of everything,” said Lilian.
There is traditional Honduran breakfast and for southern lovers there is traditional Louisiana food such as the po-boys.
Every Sunday they serve brunch just in case you crave a plate of
grits with some melted cheese on it accompanied by a refreshing mimosa.
Before opening the doors to the public “Fleur de Lily Bakery” has caught many people’s attention due to its location. Keeping in mind that Rivertown has yet to be discovered by many around the area.
“At the beginning it was a bit scary, but we knew we had to risk it because if we didn’t , then we were going to regret it forever,” said Lilian.
People like Ricardo and Lilian are example of perseverance of many Hispanic immigrants that come to this country with a desire to succeed.
With their experience and tenacity that this marriage has obtained throughout their lives they are more than sure this business will become a great success.
