My Favorite Restaurants
Because in South Louisiana we eat, a lot.
Love this family owned place. My favorite: the chicken patacon - sandwich made with large slices of twice fried green plantain instead of bread with shredded chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, avocados and a delicious house made sauce. Within a short walking distance.

"It's where you find yourself when you need coffee and you need it prepared 'just so.' It's where you go when you want real food. It's Scotch Eggs. It's sweet potato biscuits. It's beignets. It's your favorite café and you like it Black."

Favorite pizza place in town. The Paulie: Pepperoni and jalapenos drizzled with honey - yes honey and it's amazing. Very cool building and when the weather allows they open up the two front windows for an indoor/outdoor seating option.

Luna Bar and Grill
533 Jefferson StreetNew Favorite for Sunday brunch.
It's one of those local staples, a hole in the wall type place with it's own rules, no fries, no ketchup (though they do have a sauce that resembles ketchup). It's a simple and delicious burger.

This is THE poboy spot if you're in Lafayette, seriously look no further. They are also known for "hollowing" out their bread so they can fit more of the meats, highly recommend.

Beautiful Nature Preserve great for kayaking, fishing, photography or a leisurely stroll. Home to many species of water birds, gorgeous cypress trees and native plants (the floating American Lotus are my favorite). If you're into photography this is a must see! Swamp tours and kayak rentals available on Rookery Rd. Oh and yes there are alligators too.

You are walking distance from Lafayette's newest park - Moncus Park. Great place to walk/ bike take in good vibes. *This isn't a horse farm - it had a barn and housed horses many years ago* It's a cool park to hang out at now.
