So we went to a place in Arnaudville (A review w/pics)

A shout out to Darla Hood for her post on a place called The Little Big Cup, in Arnaudville, La.

I was looking for a place to take the wife for our anniversary. (Hard to believe she's put up with me for 15 yrs, 20 all together)
We've done all the fine dinning you can think of, and I was looking for something different because when it comes down to it, we're both just a couple simple country folks.

We made the hour long trip to the sleepy little cajun village, and arrived to the most unassuming place you can imagine. The coffee shop is called The Little Big Cup, and the newly expanded restaurant adjacent to it is named The Bayou Warehouse.

A place time has forgotten, but not tradition. When you walk through the doors you know you're in for a treat. The antique lighting captures every detail of the picturesque hardwood floors, and ceiling. The quaint sights, the muffled sounds, & the humble smell takes you back to a much more simpler time.

We were greeted by the owner and he told me that he reserved the entire (lower) back deck for just us! Since it was a Saturday evening they had their buffet out, but this is not your typical pigs at the trough boofay! It's hard to find adjectives to describe a buffet, but I can easily use elegant, charming, even delightful.
The food was some of the best I've had in a while. So simple, so good and so much of it! Every thing I tried was an A+.
A very nice evening for the two of us as we sat out on the deck overlooking the intersection of Bayou Teche/Fuselier and enjoyed the small conversations about being there and together for so long.
Another great anniversary dinner to remember!
