Kaliste Saloom District EatLafayette Restaurants

When a prominent Lebanese family gave land to the city for a new road between the Vermilion River and Verot School Road, they didn’t request money, but rather that they honor their late husband and father, Kaliste Saloom. Today, Kaliste Saloon Road is a bustling thoroughfare, connecting the older section of the city with the new. Area shops and restaurants target affluent residents from nearby River Ranch and East Bayou Parkway. A mix of established, mom-and-pops along with chic shopping centers like Parc Lafayette offer everything your heart desires from classic French pastries and artisan meats and cheeses to ramen, vegan, Greek, Tex-Mex, all-day breakfast and decadent burgers and desserts.
