Antoni's Italian Café Antoni's

of Lafayette, serves up true Italian flavor in an enchanting, but quaint,
environment. Noted for having the finest calzone in the local area, Antoni's
serves up authentic Italian cuisine and fine wine in real Italian fashion.
Make sure to save room for dessert, made fresh from scratch every day.

favorites to more involved dishes such as the grilled quail (marinated
with fresh herbs and covered in a garlic jam). The restaurant, located
on Coolidge Street just off of South College Road, prides itself for having
excellent service – so it is not surprising that it is a local favorite.
Café Vermilionville This
historic eatery, the first inn in Lafayette, dishes up authentic Creole
fare in an elegant atmosphere. Although it doesn't require visiting
gentlemen to wear ties, Café Vermilionville showcases the luscious
extravagance of the aristocratic Acadians down to the antique period furnishings
of the main dining room. The restaurant, whose Creole bronzed shrimp was
featured in Gourmet magazine, has received many prestigious accolades
– including gold medals at the Acadiana Culinary Classic. Café
Vermilionville roasts, grills, steams, and bakes some of the most authentic
Louisiana cuisines in the area. It is located at the corner of South College
and West Pinhook roads.
Charley G's Offering a
mixture of Southern and Caribbean gastronomy, Charley G's aims to
serve food made to order and cooked to perfection in a casual atmosphere.
Although Chef Jason Miller received his first training in his home state
of Florida and under the direction of great Jamaican and Cuban chefs,
his heart lies in the cuisine he studied at the famous Broussard's
in New Orleans. This eclectic training makes the menu, filled with favorites
from New Orleans, more diversified and refreshingly unique. The elegant
bar caters to the connoisseur of fine cigars, and even goes so far as
recommending specific meals to accompany specific tobacco products. Visitors
will find this charming establishment at The Park in Young Plaza, which
is on Ambassador Cafferry Parkway just south of Interstate 10.
