My favorite casual places are Olde Tyme Grocery for a shrimp poboy, and Spoonbill for the fish sandwich. The latter won a James Beard award for restaurant design.

Looking for a good restaurant in Lafayette



You're in luck.

Lafayette has tons of good restaurants

Italian: Marcellos, iMonellis, Cafe Bella, Ruffino

Pizza: Central (get the Paulie), Deanos, Pizza Village

Po-Boys: Old Tyme Grocery, Pop's Po-Boys

Burgers: Judice Inn, The Flats (downtown), Max's pool hall (not a joke, might be my favorite)

BBQ: Blanchards (traditional Texas BBQ), Johnsons, Acadian Superette

Tapas: Pamplona

"Elevated" dining: Vestal, Jane's (French Cuisine)

Steaks: Honestly, IMO, Ruth's still has the best steak in Lafayette

Greek/Lebanese: Poseidon's, Zorbas, Athena, Zeus

I'm obviously missing some and look forward to other poster's additions

Try Bourque's, it's better than Max's and the Green Oaks Lounge

Some of the prices seem ridiculous, so I just wouldn’t order the caviar or steaks.

Someone I trust greatly about food/restaurants said Jane’s was the worst restaurant experience theyve ever had

Charley G’s is the best restaurant in Lafayette. On the somewhat fine dining side

I’ve loved meals at Pamplona and Marcellos

More casual Poseidon and Spoonbiil

For good drinks with decent enough food La Fonda and Don’s

As someone who loves lump crabmeat, this looks wonderful to me.
