Overview

Turnkey Restaurant Opportunity in the Heart of Downtown Lafayette | 412 Jefferson Street

This 5,214 sq ft restaurant building sits on Jefferson Street, downtown Lafayette’s main commercial corridor. It’s fully built out for full-service dining and ready for an experienced operator to move in and open.

Guests enter through a reception area to a bar and main dining room, with more seating on a mezzanine that overlooks the space. That upper level works well for overflow, private parties or special events. The exhibition kitchen puts the food on display and gives the dining room energy.

The back of house is built for volume. It has a separate prep kitchen, a walk-in cooler and walk-in freezer, dry storage rooms and a dedicated dishwashing station, so the kitchen can handle high-volume service and catering. Private offices give management a place to work, and the building has guest restrooms.

The property is zoned D (Downtown). It’s within walking distance of downtown offices, nightlife and the festivals and events that bring steady crowds to Jefferson Street all year. It’s a good fit for a chef-driven concept, a second location for an established brand or an investor who wants a well-located downtown asset.
