Since 1980, people from Lafayette and from around the world have been flocking to Prejean’s Restaurant. Located in upper Lafayette, Prejean’s attracts hundreds of hungry customers from breakfast to dinner each day of the week. What exactly makes this restaurant such a hot commodity? The award winning cuisine? The historic Cajun decor and friendly atmosphere? The promise of live, local music nightly? If you’ve ever visited Prejean’s, you know that it’s all of the above!
When you walk into Prejean’s, you immediately notice its eccentric decor. Spanish moss hangs from mock foliage. A giant stained glass mural hangs behind the band stand. A 14-foot alligator, a former native of the Grand Chenier swamp, looks over the dining room while guarding the restaurant’s collection of awards.
Speaking of the awards–Prejean’s has won more awards for its Cajun cuisine than any other restaurant in Louisiana! (Don’t believe me? Here is a list.) It’s no surprise, really, when you know who’s in the kitchen.

But enough about awards–the food speaks for itself. Prejean’s cuisine has been called “a Cajun seafood lover’s dream”, an accurate description, if I do say so myself! Crawfish, crabs, and shrimp are the main components of most Prejean’s dishes, each of which is made with high quality ingredients and seasoned to perfection.
At Prejean’s, you can enjoy dinner and a show! Every night, a local band plays festive Cajun music for the enjoyment of Prejean’s customers.
