Authentic Cajun restaurant, Bon Temps Grill, moves to a new location opening Nov. 16, at 1211 W. Pinhook Road in Lafayette.

“We are thrilled to be opening into a bigger location with a lot more Bon Temps to offer,” said co-owner Patrick O’Bryan. “In addition to a bigger space, there will be more parking and other amenities. I’m so excited about the outdoor seating and large bar area for working professionals in the area.”

Some might recognize the new restaurant location as the former Blue Dog Cafe, but with the new brand coming into the space, so comes lots of functional and cosmetic changes to the restaurant. Along with a larger dining room, there is a new event space that can accommodate private dining parties or corporate events.

O’Bryan says that some might not even recognize the building as they are bringing in design elements from their previous location on Verot School Road.

“We want all of our guests from the past eight years to know we are not changing who we are,” said Steven O’Bryan, co-owner and brother to Patrick. “Our location is changing, but our roots are not. We are still offering the best authentic Cajun food in the area in a comfortable and safe atmosphere.”
