10 Lafayette Restaurants That We Would Love to See Make a Triumphant Return

As we get older, we love to wax nostalgic and remember "the good ole days." We were doing just that recently as we were thinking of all the many restaurants we used to have in Lafayette that are no longer here.

In a culinary-rich town, thankfully, we still have legendary restaurants that are still open like Alesi, La Fonda, Judice Inn, Don's Seafood Hut, and Poor Boy's Riverside Inn, just to name a few.

But, as with all progress, many of the great eateries our town has seen have come and gone.

We took to social media and asked the following question: "If you could bring back one restaurant or business that closed in Acadiana, what would it be?"

The answers varied from locally owned and once-prominent establishments to some national brands that we all knew and loved.

We took the top 10 responses and put together the list you see below. Enjoy a trip down memory lane as your taste buds are reminded of some of the deliciousness that they're missing these days.
