Cajun Cafe on the Bayou · Pinellas Park
Cajun Cafe on the Bayou covers po' boys, crawfish, etouffee, alligator, gumbo, jambalaya, and the less common alligator sauce piquant. That range has continued after the restaurant's move to 66th Street, preserving a broad Louisiana menu in a casual Pinellas setting. A table can explore several distinct Cajun preparations without leaving the core menu.
Bayou Market and Cafe · St. Petersburg
Bayou Market and Cafe serves rotating New Orleans dishes cafeteria style, with crawfish étouffée, shrimp Creole, seafood jambalaya, gumbo, and take-home items moving through the weekly menu. Its Central Avenue room grew from a catering operation, so prepared meals and market coolers remain as important as lunch service. Check the day's selection before making a specific plan.
