Restaurants in Acadiana: A Re-Opening, a New Location + a Closing

In this week's edition of "As the Business World Turns," we give you the latest news regarding three restaurants in the Acadiana area.

We've got one closing, one re-opening, and another that's relocated.

The big news out of St. Martin Parish is the recent announcement that Le Café in Breaux Bridge will be reopening soon with new owners.

We brought you the news last November that the beloved eatery was closing after 35 years in business. Owner Ann Newland was shutting down to retire.

In a post on Facebook this past Sunday, it was announced that new proprietors were taking over the restaurant and an official opening date would be announced "very soon."

We'll keep tabs on this development and let you guys know when the opening will be so you can get back to enjoying those delicious fried seafood dishes, especially that fried catfish!

Other good news is the opening of the new location of Shane's Famous Quesadilla Burgers at 3822 West Congress Street in Lafayette.

The restaurant was previously located at 803 West Pinhook Road in Lafayette.

This location has housed multiple businesses in the past from the likes of Smitty's Wings to Pilots Sports Pub and a few others.

Shane's Famous Quesadilla Burgers specializes in burgers, tacos, fries, and more.
