Vestal Restaurant Wins Gold for Best Steak in Acadiana’s Choice 2024 Awards
We are excited to share that Vestal Restaurant has been honored with the Gold Award for Best Steak in the 2024 Acadiana’s Choice Awards! It's heartwarming to see our team's hard work recognized by the people who call Acadiana home. More than any prestigious award, the most meaningful part of this recognition is that people in our community enjoy their time (and steaks) at Vestal. It's why we're here, it's why we are.
Celebrating the Best Steak in Lafayette, LA
At Vestal, a great steak is more than just a meal; it’s a tribute to craftsmanship, tradition, and the art of cooking over an open flame. Executive Chef Sullivan "Sully" Zant believes that every steak tells a story, one that begins with responsibly sourced cuts of meat and is completed by the warmth of the hearth. "We use a wood-burning hearth, which imparts a natural, smoky flavor to our steaks that you simply can’t achieve any other way," says Chef Zant. "It's not just about the heat, but about how the fire interacts with the ingredients, enhancing their natural flavors. The fire gives our steaks a signature char and tenderness that sets them apart from anything else in Lafayette."
Every piece of meat is carefully selected, ensuring only the finest cuts make it to the table. Chef Zant adds, "We try to elevate everything we do here at Vestal. We are committed to sourcing our meat responsibly, working with trusted suppliers to bring the best quality to our guests. It’s about respecting the ingredients, treating them properly, and letting the fire do the rest."
In addition to the steaks, the hearth is at the heart of what Vestal stands for – creating a casual and welcoming atmosphere that everyone can enjoy. "It’s the warmth of the hearth and the quality of the ingredients that make all the difference," Chef Zant continues. "Our customers feel it, taste it, and it’s why we’ve been able to stand out in such a competitive market."
