Cajun restaurants in Lafayette

  1. T-Coon's

    Head to local favorite T-Coon's for crawfish omelets in the morning and bodacious plates of étouffée (a thick Cajun stew) or smothered rabbit for lunch.

  2. Randol’s

    Dishes like crab cake au gratin are quite tasty, but the nightly live Cajun tunes are the why-go. Regulars are always here scooting around the floor; sit on the bench around the dance floor (separated from the tables by some awkward plexiglass) and you will be asked out onto the floor.

  3. Prejean’s Cajun Dining

    Live music accompanies every dinner and weekend brunches (old-timer Gervais Matte is a regular), but food takes center stage here. Have crawfish omelets for breakfast, fried oyster salad for lunch, and lump crab and eggplant Abbeville (in a Worcestershire cream sauce) for dinner. Don’t forget to say hi to Big Al, the 14ft stuffed alligator, on your way in.

  4. Blue Dog Cafe

    Make reservations if you hope to enjoy the live jazz and Cajun music brunch; any given Sunday, the line stretches out the door by 10:30am. Shrimp Rockefeller soup, pork grillades (thin, browned strips with gravy) and cornbread dressing are just some of the reasons why. Louisiana native artist (and restaurant co-owner) George Rod­rigue displays more than 150 of his works here, including many incarnations of his Blue Dog. Live music Thursday through Saturday evenings.
