Cafe Le Fleur
Inspired by New Orleans culture, Cafe la Fleur has offered a unique dining experience and signature taste to downtown Laurel since 1997. The menu is mixed with cajun style taste, Southern flair and classic Americana. Homemade specialties include a traditional Gulf Coast recipe gumbo and bread pudding. The signature Cafe la Fleur Po-Boys have also been featured in Southern Living Magazine.
