Looks can be deceiving. Sometimes, the best restaurants are hiding in plain sight, and this particular restaurant definitely proves that to be true. It may not look like much from the outside, but inside you’ll feast on some of the best food in New Iberia. Let’s take a closer look:

Tucked away in New Iberia, Bon Creole Lunch Counter has been serving some of Louisiana's most delicious seafood since 1982.

They recently spruced up their exterior, so just look for the vibrant murals on East St. Peter Street - you can’t miss it.

The interior is casual and has a rustic vibe.
Ma Gui/Trip Advisor
The no-fuss interior is decorated with animal heads and antlers on the walls. It’s the type of place you’ll feel like family from the moment you walk in.
When you’re in the mood for a delicious southern meal, there’s no better place than Bon Creole.
