Billing itself as a contemporary neighborhood cafe and restaurant, Sideboard is committed to preparing traditional comfort food in a rustic-chic atmosphere. The Lafayette location of this popular restaurant is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m., and the menu features everything from scrambled eggs and bacon to healthy spinach salads and traditional roast beef dinners.

Sideboard is also proud to be a green certified restaurant, which means the kitchen uses ethically and sustainably sourced ingredients whenever possible and works to reduce waste in its kitchen and dining room alike. Yelp reviewers say this means you can feel good about every meal you eat here, especially if you manage to snag a spot in the restaurant’s outdoor picnic-style seating area, which lets you stake out a space in the grass with a blanket and umbrella to enjoy your meal al fresco.
