Champagne’s Marché

2021-03-10T16:26:57-06:00

Established in 1926, Champagne's Marche is a family-owned and operated grocery store in Leonville, Louisiana. Located on the Boudin Trail, they serve fresh boudin and cracklins daily and prepare hot Cajun plate lunches for the lunch crowd. Champagnes is mostly known for their sweet, frosted king cakes, a special treat made available just before Mardi Gras. In fact, they received "Best King Cake in Acadiana" in a blind tasting in 2015. Their cakes are readily available in the bakery, but for a custom filling such as amaretto pecan, orders are recommended. Also, check out their review on KingCaker.com where they received 12 out of 12 "babies" for their delicious recipe!

A small plastic "king cake baby" is often hidden into the cake by the buyer. The treat is typically shared among coworkers or friends, and traditionally, the person who finds the baby is responsible for purchasing the next cake. This unique tradition is celebrated during the Epiphany, which is why you'll find a small toy representing the baby Jesus in your next cake.  

Just across the nearby Bayou Teche, is an informational kiosk for bayou adventurers.

Café Josephine

2024-10-22T09:48:03-05:00

After a long day of shopping in Sunset, Louisiana, take a break at Café Josephine. The menu is best described as southern comfort meets gourmet cuisine. Chef Troy gets creative with traditional dishes, adding his own unique flair, while still staying true to the local food culture. His menu features classic Louisiana-style comfort foods like shrimp and grits or seafood gumbo. However, if you're looking something different you can also find dishes like his famous Zydeco Tacos, spiked with a drizzle of Sriracha and pecan pepper jelly.

Here's a tip from the locals; don't go hog-wild on their famous cheddar biscuits. It's all too tempting! Save some room the main course, a few cocktails, and dessert, or sample fresh and charbroiled seafood at the oyster bar.
