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.
Download your Cajun Bayou Food Trail Map and Passport, or stop in at any restaurant on the trail to start your culinary journey.
Begin in historic Downtown Thibodaux with beloved local establishments including Fremin’s, a restaurant dating back to the 19th century, and the fine-dining and rotating menu found at Cinclare. Continue down the bayou to locally-owned favorites like Kajun Twist & Grill and Cher Amie’s Seafood. It’s a journey your mind, stomach, and soul will never forget.
Once you’ve happily devoured your way through five stops along the trail and had your passport stamped at each, return it to the Visitor’s Center in Raceland to receive a prize only reserved for those who walk the walk and chomp the chomp – a T-shirt highlighting your culinary conquest.
