Acadiana – Now Closed

Special Occasions.

Also known as, “The only reason why I would do a $40 brunch without mimosas included”. What part of the game is that? Granted, Acadiana  has $2 mimosas and I’m not trying say that adds up, but it’s just that I just find comfort in the word unlimited. But as I mentioned, it’s a special occasion and everyone I was with made it worth it already but I definitely had high expectations for the meal.

 

Blood Orange Mimosas and the best best biscuits I have ever had. Hands down.

The biscuits were better than Red Lobster & everyone knows Red Lobster has the best biscuits. But this marmalade they serve that has a sweet jam/honey mix over butter with a certain spice to it. It is EVERYTHING! I can’t even tell you how many biscuits I had, and it almost ruined my appetite.

Started with the “Pain Perdu” which had this banana foster sauce on it. The lovely lady dining next to me told me I HAD to try this sauce, so I did. It was YUM. I really didn’t know what to expect of this New Orleans style toast, let alone of the walnuts on top of it but it wound up being very good.

I really enjoy two course brunches and this wasn’t too filling so… so far so good. I followed that up with the “Louisiana crawfish Étouffée” that I couldn’t even finish. Now this was heavy and delicious.

It was actually a light sauce but heavy in flavor and serving, I didn’t know what to do. The rice evened out all the taste perfectly, I could eat this for many dinner nights. Brunch ended with the key lime pie, I didn’t order this but we had all the desserts to go and I guess my order was lost in the huge party I was with.

I would go back to this establishment for an occasion. It was worth it.
