Avery Island, I assume you’re going for the tabasco tour. Have lunch at the restaurant, it’s chef prepared go for the specials, menu seemed mundane. Special I had - Crayfish étouffée, + tails - to die for. Check out the jungle gardens, not epic except for the fact 1 man created it. Worth the drive.
You’re not in creole country so don’t expect it. You’re in Cajun country, beautiful, humble, down to earth.
Cajun we found is a very humble and simple experience. In Jeanerette, Louisiana you’ll find LeJeune's Bakery 1510 Main Street Jeanerette, Louisiana (french bread ginger cakes). Not Real Parisian french bread, humble. Find muffuletta and stuff the bread with that. Ginger bread makes great bread pudding.
We found plate lunches to be interesting, not 5 star dining like in NOLA, but good. BON CREOLE LUNCH COUNTER 1409 E St Peter St New Iberia, LA 70560, epic gumbo, awesome plate lunches. Humble, eats like the locals enjoy. Order at the counter and wait. Po’boys and gumbo what’s best.
Cane river pecan pie bar In New Iberia, good crawfish pies, expensive. Delectable pralines in the shop, the chewy ones.
