When you want authentic Cajun food, you go straight to the source: Cajun Country. Within Cajun Country, there are plenty of charming small towns that make for great day trips, including Breaux Bridge. This beautiful town is home to some of the best Cajun food, and you can practically find a Cajun restaurant on every corner.
Home to less than 10,000 people Breaux Bridge is the perfect little-big town to explore.
Known as the "Crawfish Capital of the World," Breaux Bridge knows a thing or two about cooking up Cajun fare.
One of the most popular shops to grab some Cajun grub is Chicken on the Bayou.
In addition to some of the best Boudin you'll ever bite into, this is your go-to spot for a hearty, home-cooked meal just like grandma used to make.
Before you leave, be sure to take a look at all of the spices and sauces on display.
Stock up with locally made products so you can bring Cajun Country back to your kitchen.
If you're dining with a group, Crazy Bout Crawfish is a home run.
When they're in season, get the crawfish.
Generally, crawfish season lasts from January to July.
The Louisiana-themed eatery has a hearty menu full of incredible dishes that range from seafood to steaks and burgers.
For dinner, Cafe Sydnie Mae is a wonderful option for a date night or celebratory occasion.
Located right in the heart of downtown Breaux Bridge, Cafe Sydnie’s menu features tried-and-true classics like red beans and rice and crawfish étouffée, but you may be tempted with one of their signature dishes like Teche Wellington, a Cajun-twist on Beef Wellington.
Yum! And don't forget to peep the dessert menu, the best Cajun meals always end on a sweet note!
