WOODBRIDGE, Va. -- Its backwoods Cajun feel sets it apart from other restaurants, and this place promises to offer a little something extra every time you come – it’s practically in the name.
Lagniappe (Lan-Yap) opened for the first time Tuesday to loves of down home Cajun cooking with recipes from the bayous of Louisiana. The restaurant’s name might be uncommon to those in Virginia, but it’s a familiar term in Louisiana that means a gift given to a customer at the time of purchase – think of it like when someone orders dozen doughnuts but they actually get 13.
Restaurant owner Angela Guiddry has lived in the Woodbridge area since 1995 and has always wanted to open a restaurant like this. Lagniappe is not a chain, but expanding is something she has considered if this restaurant succeeds at pleasing the area’s Cajun appetite.
