High end - Jane’s, Vestal ….
Cafe Sydnie Mae, Mazen Grill, and Cafe Josephine all have excellent food and less expensive than Janes / Vestal.
Creole - Laura’s II, Creole Lunch House, Glenda’s (Breaux Bridge). Probably a dozen other small “hole in the wall” places in Opelousas, Plaisance, St. Martinville, Breaux Bridge, that serve amazing food and operated by mothers and daughters.
Cajun - even in Lafayette, the term “Cajun food” has become commercialized on restaurant menus targeting tourists. If you want Cajun food that was served as family meals decades ago, it’s hard to beat Dwyers or Poche Bridge (Breaux Bridge) … both serve a variety of outstanding plate lunch meals.

My personal favorite restaurant is French Press. It has several dishes that are 10/10 for me and I have trouble deciding which one I want when I go. That along with their literal option of a French press of coffee makes for a killer combination of good food and relaxing hangout.
Is there better in Lafayette? It is a personal preference. This is mine.

IMO, Vestal is the best in Lafayette.

I really like Pamplona however I've never been to several mentioned above. We also like Marcello's and Charley G's.

Vestal. One of the few restaurants in the area worth the price of the food.

I'm just a simple guy with simple taste and have always enjoyed Poor Boys Riverside Inn.

Vestal is the best restaurant. Only dined there a handful of times, but I left each time satisfied and happy. Yes, it’s the most expensive meal in town, but it can be when it’s that good.

What’s the scoop on Ruffinos? It never gets mentioned in any threads about Lafayette restaurants

If someone was headed to Lafayette for the first time and asked me where to go to get a local food experience, I'd probably send them to Bon Temps.
