A contemporary take on southern cuisine

Vestal is the latest culinary venture located at 555 Jefferson, is housed in what was formerly Antlers, the oldest bar in the city of Lafayette, and is an elegant, modern space where diners can enjoy sustainably sourced fare alongside fresh Gulf seafood and a craft cocktail program unlike any other in the city. The regionally inspired menu features seafood and non-seafood entrees that focus on southern ingredients of exceptional quality. Guests can enjoy fresh oysters shucked to order at Vestal’s raw bar or live fired dishes in front of the wood burning hearth at the kitchen counter. Vestal, whose style could be described as “new southern,” delivers on a promise of providing a welcoming upbeat environment for the community to gather around the hearth and enjoy simply and thoughtfully prepared delicious cuisine and cocktails.
