Acadiana Cajun restaurant recs

I want to take my girlfriend to Acadiana for the day/evening on Saturday and looking for really good Acadiana experiences. I plan to hit up some of the great Boudin institutions but I’m really looking for a good Cajun restaurant to have lunch or dinner. I’m looking for great Cajun food with that Cajun experience. My frame of reference is Fizzos which I love. Is there anything better I should try? Cost is no object.

take her to cafe josephines in sunset.
but, if you want real cajun food, someone will have to cook for you. there's no restaurant that really serves authentic cajun rice and gravy. they'll do seafood but, you won't be eating any real cajun shite.

Take a look at Poor Boys Riverside Inn in Broussard. It's primarily a seafood restaurant, but there are lots of crawfish dishes including bisque with boulettes. There are gumbos, etouffees and other Cajun dishes.
The menu has photographs of the dishes online.

It has a neat old Cajun sort of atmosphere tucked away off the street among lots of trees with a pond (I think it's a pond) on the side of it with cypress trees and other foliage.
I haven't been in a while, but each time I have been, the waitress has had a pretty heavy Cajun accent. I've always enjoyed the place. It's pretty busy, so if you decide to go there, look into reservations. Ask for a table with a view of the water.
Report back on wherever you go, please!

Plate lunches are your best bet for authentic cajun cooking, Saturday makes it tricky because most are closed or don't have Sat. lunch specials
Noah's Saturday options:
Smothered oxtails - grilled pork steak - fried pork chop - red beans/sausage - baked chicken
Poche's Saturday options: (haven't been since pandemic so not positive if still the same):
Pork Backbone Stew - BBQ Ribs - BBQ Chicken - Stuffed Pork Chops - BBQ Ribeyes
Suire's Grocery: changes but they've been doing spaghetti on Saturdays, they have good cajun foods on their full menu, mmmmm and some homemade tarts.
Johnsons Boucaniere: you mentioned boudin, you won't be disappointed here. Think they bbq on Saturdays or just stop in and get a few links.
Laura's 2 - Bourdain went to Suire's, he went here too. Haven't been on a Sat but I think you could go get a stuffed turkey wing.
The French Press: brunch spot downtown. The favorite, the cajun benedict (eggs benedict with boudin topped with two poached eggs and chicken and sausage gumbo) or the grits and grillades will give you what you're looking for.

Come to Scott and hit Uncle T’s.
You get a chance to hit all the Boudin spots and have a good dinner.

Pat’s Fisherman Wharf in Henderson is a good Cajun restaurant.
The Yellow Bowl in Jennerette is solid choice as well.

If boudin is on your list, Johnsons Boucaniere is a must.

Is Prejean’s still open? I think it’s in Opelousas

Little Big Cup is good. Cajun fusion I guess you could say. Foods great and a cool atmosphere in a small town.

If you are willing to travel, C'est Bon Restaurant in Mermentau, La has the best boiled crabs and seafood gumbo around. Also serves etouffes, creoles and other gravys. It is roughly 1 hour west of Lafayette and has an amazing atmosphere and very friendly people. Coldest beer around as well
