Places to eat in Lafayette.

LOL, that was my first as well. I got another from running some yoyo that was a fan of another team I think.

Anyway, when it comes to pizza, there are plenty of really good choices in the area. Deanos, Pizza Village and its clone JJ's (apparently if you're from Breaux Bridge, its a requirement to love the Village), BJ's, La Pizzeria. Stiff competition for ole Alesi

its a Teurlings/breaux bridge thing to love Pizza Village!

_ Buried in the sands of time. Too bad though. Was nothing like bringing someone to a "steak restaurant" located in a run down warehouse building where your choices were steak or steak and one of the finest wine list in the world. Who would have thought you could go in a place like that and order a 5K bottle of wine? Not that I ever did. _

My reason for responding to the other poster was the hope the restaurant had re-opened somewhere. I would have been there tonight iif it were.

My first meal @ Stroud's was when they were located under the big oak tree in the curve just before getting into Abbeville. Then they located to the building across Kaliste Saloom Road from Randol's. Then to the building on Industrial Parkway. Now, unfortunately, closed.

I don't want to take this thread away from the initial inquiry, but a restaurant that reminds me of Stroud's in terms of the quality of the steak, the friendliness of the staff, and the reasonableness of the price is Hebert's in Nunez.

Chris V, that was a long time ago!!! Great seeing you yesterday!

Please update me on the location of Stroud's

Sorry, didn't know it was closed. I was just running through restaurants that I had enjoyed over the years..................I need to get out more.

_ Just downtown you have Don's, Agave, Tsunami, Bonzai, Guamas, Pamploma Tapas, Filling Station, Bonnie Bells (was T-Coons ), and Dwyers. Legends isn't really a restaurant, but the Annex serves some really good burgers, and wraps. So it is a very lively epicurean scene downtown alone, much less the rest of the city. _

You now also have The French Press between Agave and the fire station, right across from Don's in the former Tribune printing press. Basically New Orleans style sandwiches, etc. Good eating!

FYI, they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Thanks to all. No shortage of places to munch in Lafayette. I will be hitting the festival Saturday and then maybe one of the eateries mentioned.

Mr. Mike's, or Alesi's, serves my favorite Veal Parmesan. At least once a month, my wife and I go there just for that. Oddly enough, I finally ordered a pizza there a couple of years ago. My recollection of it is good, but I still need my veal fix each month.

One name not mentioned yet is Nash's in Broussard. Many great entree's but, their marinara sauce got a bit sweet for my taste. It was a sudden change. Yet one thing that keeps me returning is what I would describe as the absolute best appetizer in the region. Their Fish Beneighs. Lightly fried amberjack bites with an incredible dipping sauce.

But, ain't this just pure fun living in this area? There are so many places to get good food, frankly too many to mention. We've barely scratched the surface with so many good mom-and-pop establishments all over the region.

We are blessed here.

Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't even thinking about rain but there is a 60% chance as of right now. I will keep an eye on it.

It's my understanding that the weather will clear up by the afternoon.

Yeah, I had lunch at Agave today, and I saw that. I wasn't sure if it was a coffee shop or what. It is right next to Phillipe's wine cellar and a bicycle shop. It is great to see more businesses in downtown Lafayette, and not just bars.
