History
Established in 2003.
Evangeline was the heroine of an epic poem, written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1847. The poem described the forced migration of 6,000 French settlers from Acadia, Nova Scotia in 1755 and their hardships. Many resettled in Louisiana. Evangeline was a bride who was torn away from her groom on their wedding day, found him again years later, but tragically, could not reunite due to intervening events. Later versions of the story said she spent her remaining years grieving under a tree, which became known as the Evangeline Oak. Her statue under the tree can be seen today in St. Martinville, LA. Cajun is the popular term for those Acadian people and their culture, as they blended with the new environment in Louisiana and developed recipes that are used authentically in this restaurant.
