DINNER MENU

 Traditional Café Vermilionville

Café Vermilionville Redefined

[Luncheon Menu] [Wine List]

Our Dinner Menu is now slightly different from the traditional style of menu most people have become accustomed to.  We now provide two menus to choose from.  Our traditional menu provides signature dishes that have helped to make Café Vermilionville what it is today.  The redefined menu is created weekly to allow our talented staff of chefs the creative freedom to utilize the freshest ingredients South Louisiana has to offer.  We do hope that you will come in and enjoy our atmosphere and cuisine at Café Vermilionville.

Enjoy,

Cafe Vermilionville Staff
