A Taste of the Bayou in Texas

Evangeline Cafe brings the authentic flavors of Louisiana to South Austin. Our chef-owner, Curtis Clarke, crafts every dish with recipes passed down through generations of Cajun cooking.

Named after the heroine of Longfellow's epic poem about the Acadian people, Evangeline Cafe embodies the spirit, warmth, and soulful cuisine of Louisiana's Cajun country. From our gumbo to our étouffée, from our bread imported from Lafayette's legendary Langlinais Bakery to our selection of Abita beers, every detail is authentically Louisiana.
