Cinclare Restaurant in Thibodaux

Just 45 minutes south of New Orleans lies an oasis of culture and food so delectable, so delightful, so unabashedly authentic, that all five senses come together in the name of common sense. It’s Lafourche Parish and their award-winning Cajun Bayou Food Trail.

There’s a reason why people say “You gotta try this!” when tasting the food in Lafourche Parish, and the folks in Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou have made that palatable plea easy for you with their Cajun Bayou Food Trail. Off the “eatin’ path” and along the bayou, through the wetlands and amidst all the southern comfort you can handle, is a collection of 18 restaurants serving the best authentic Cajun food. Visits can expect to find fresh catch of the day served on a platter, loaded shrimp po-boys and crawfish boils, and BBQ and house-smoked meats to tantalize every taste bud. It’s truly a smorgasbord of things to eat and places to dine.
