2. Abita Brew Pub
$$ | |This was the site of Abita's original brewery until 1994, when the company found a much needed larger space up the road.

These dishes all go well with the beer—a full selection of Abita is on tap, including seasonal brews and a few guest additions.

5. Prejean's
$$ | |In this cypress house decorated with swamp trees and a large stuffed alligator at the entrance, people gather over red-and-white-check tablecloths to chow down on some local classics: crawfish and alligator sausage cheesecake, Cajun duckling, or any of the kitchen's four distinctive gumbos. Grilled seafood provides some lighter options. At breakfast, try the house rendition of eggs Benedict, made here with boudin patties, poached eggs, and crawfish étouffée over a biscuit. There's live Cajun music (and usually dancing) nightly.
