In 2008, owner Jay Howell decided to open Restaurant Cotton in beautiful, historic downtown Monroe, Louisiana – one of the first restaurants to be situated in downtown Monroe in almost 50 years. He was driven to build up the downtown area and breathe some new life into a historic building that already had a colorful past of its own. Now, Mr. Howell and Managing Partner Glen Lewellyan would like to invite you and your loved ones to be a part of this history and enjoy some of the best food and spirits in North Louisiana.
