Cafe Des Amis in New Iberia Review (Food Porn Included)

Was down that way yesterday for work and a co-worker suggested we give this place a try, and I was absolutely blown away at how good it was.
I opened with splitting an order of the crawfish cornbread which was a nice slice of cornbread covered with crawfish etoufee.
I then had a cup of the duck and andouille gumbo. I'm not a huge fan of fowl gumbo, much preferring seafood, but this absolutely blew me away. It was incredible, might have been the best gumbo I've had at a restaurant.
For my main meal I had the crawfish pie, which was crawfish etoufee sandwiched between two pieces of phyllo dough. It had a nice crunch when eaten together. Great serving size, though I definitely had to take some home.
Overall a great experience.

I didn't realize there were two locations. I ate in Breaux Bridge the week before Easter and had the crawfish pie. It was delicious. I don't recall seeing the crawfish cornbread, but that looks like a nice option from the pie. Glad you enjoyed the meal.

One of my favorite brunch spots. I love their boudin "pig ears" and their au gratin is on point. I believe Grapevine in Donaldsonville has several of the same items -- I think the husband/wife split up and one went to Donaldsonville and the other stayed in Breaux Bridge. Or something like that.

The white chocolate bread pudding at the BB location is all kinds of good.
