Gulf catch special from Vestal in Lafayette, Louisiana. | Vestal
Some of the best restaurants in the Gulf South are within a two hour road trip of New Orleans
How far would you drive for a good meal? And not just a meal, but an experience, whether it be authentic Cajun cuisine dished along the bayou, a fine dining feast with river views or a funky pub set in an old bicycle shop on Main Street USA. Make a day of it, stop along the way, hatch a mini-road trip. Most of these spots are less than a two-hour drive from New Orleans, some as close as across the lake. They are all worth the trip.
