4. The dining scene promises delicious diversity.
You won’t go hungry in Lafayette, where dozens of top-notch eateries satisfy any palate. Relish fried fare at Social Southern Table & Bar or open-fire favorites like grilled fish and inventive small plates at Vestal (above, right). Marcello’s serves up classic Italian dishes; Spoonbill Watering Hole & Restaurant offers a creative fusion menu in a converted gas station with neon lights. For morning coffee and pastries, stop by Rêve Coffee Roasters.
