4. Caribbean Ice Company
Caribbean Ice Company
When it started out in 2001, Caribbean Ice Company’s signature snowballs and homemade ice cream quickly became a popular treat and perfect antidote to southern Louisiana’s stifling summer heat, but there’s much more to this place than just its refreshing sweet treats. Today, its extended menu features a whole host of tasty, savory fare from wraps and po’boys to pizza and hot dogs, but if you try just one thing, make sure it’s one of Caribbean Ice Company’s famous burgers, the off-menu, chef special black and blue burger topped with onions, blue cheese and bacon is a popular option.

9. Victor’s Cafeteria
Victor’s Cafeteria
A downtown New Iberia tradition since first opening in 1969, Victor’s Cafeteria is where locals go to get their fix of homestyle Cajun eats, and fans of writer James Lee Burke may recognize the place, a favorite haunt of his fictional detective Dave Robicheaux. Victor’s menu changes daily, but dishes like spicy shrimp étouffée, fried catfish fillets, gumbo and frog legs all feature often, and its coconut pie, featured in several food magazines, is a must-try. But beyond just great home-cooked food, Victor’s Cafeteria is a great place for soaking up local culture; keep an eye out for the Breakfast Club, a group of locals who have been meeting for breakfast at Victor’s every morning since 1975.
