- RrebeccawSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAlways enjoy this restaurant. Ordered a lot, one item being filet/lobster combo.

Discover Lafayette
When French-Canadian settlers moved to Lafayette, Louisiana, in the 18th century, they brought their favorite recipes with them. Today, many chefs who have grown up in the heart of Cajun country are putting modern twists on these time-honored recipes that Rand McNally has named the Best Food City in the USA, Southern Living Magazine has named the Tastiest Town in the South and USA Today named the Best of the Road Rally. Po’ boy sandwiches consisting of fried seafood or meat served on a baguette are a popular lunchtime favorite. Festivals Acadiens et Créoles celebrates this city's fascination with crawfish, although shucking crawfish is not saved just for special occasions. Many restaurants serve their own version of boudin made with pork rice dressing along with their own secret blend of Cajun seasonings.
