Looking for recommendations for local favourite restaurants, with an emphasis on authentic.
Do you mind driving 30-40 minutes from Broussard/Lafayette?
Authentic .. hard to beat Suire's for the Turtle sauce piquante, crawfish etoufee', and other Cajun food dishes.
Located on Hwy 35 in Kaplan, LA … it's a 35-40 min drive from LeTriomphe
Residing in Nova Scotia, are you French or have any Cajun relatives ? Perhaps a visit to the Acadian Memorial may interest you on the history of the 3,000 Acadian men, women and children who found refuge in Louisiana after British forces exiled them from Acadie.
Glenda's Creole Kitchen (located in Breaux Bridge) is 20 minutes from the Acadian Memorial museum in St.Martinville.
Both restaurants are "hole-in-the-wall" places that cook true Cajun / Creole food like they did many moons ago. Meals will cost you $10 - $15 with a sweet tea

Agreed that Bread and Circus is awesome, but might not be what I'd be looking for coming from out of town.
French Press would be a good bet for brunch or lunch. Also like Johnson's Boucaniere.

If you like beer and pizza then Bayou Teche Brewery is a great place to visit. The weekends there are a lot of fun.
Yeah, when making my recs I was counting on OP not necessarily wanting to drive that far out. But yeah, BT has good beers and is a lot of fun. Parish knows how to brew absolutely delicious beers, but I’d rather just take them home to drink or hang out elsewheres to enjoy.
Bayou Teche is much more lively and fun of a brewery to hang out at.

Shade Tree Inn in Broussard
If the weather's nice, don't miss the opportunity to try this place out. One of my favorites in Lafayette.

Shade Tree or BJ's Poboys iff you want to stay around the area. BJ's is the same thing as Old Tyme Grocery.

Everyone,
This is awesome! Exactly what I was looking for. Pretty much drooling.
