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

Went to the BB location a couple of weeks ago. That place is dripping in history and culture. The atmosphere and food is outstanding!

Had the eggplant first...which almost filled me up they were so big...and then the crawfish pie. Went to go take some pics at Lake Martin and stopped back by and had the syrup cake and coffee.


Before I left I was asking a waiter what the story was about the hand crank device you see when you enter the restaurant. A gentleman at a nearby table overheard me and got up and started telling me about this device. He told me his father built caskets upstairs and would use this device to lower them downstairs. I took a pic of the restaurant and included the name of the old building on it. Driving around town later that evening I saw the local funeral home...and it was the same name that was on the building...Pellerin.



It was a really cool experience and I'm looking forward going back on a Sat morning for breakfast, some good music and dancing.

If you have never been...you gotta geaux!
