Poche Information

Poche's Market and Restaurant is a true Cajun family establishment. Antoine and Aleda Poché settled the village of Poché Bridge in the year 1859. In this isolated farming community, Antoine, along with his wife and seven children, owned and operated a store and cotton gin near the wooden bridge, which is now known as Poché Bridge. The businesses were later destroyed by fire, seriously affecting Antoine's health. Antoine's grandson Lug Poché and his wife Eleanor established Poche's Market and Restaurant in 1962. Lug prided himself on selling quality products and providing excellent service to his customers. Lug retired in 1976, handing the reins over to his son Floyd , (pictured here with his wife Karen), who in keeping with the traditions set by his father, continues to provide the quality and service his customers have come to expect. Poche's Market and Restaurant is a food lover's dream. After sampling Poche's wonderful plate lunches, ranging from smothered rabbit to Crawfish Etouffeé, loyal patrons always visit the meat market to stock up on Poche's famous boudin, meats, sausages, and other specialty items. For those who are unable to take their purchase home at the time, Mr. Poché can have orders shipped anywhere in the World! Also, while visiting Poche's don't forget to pick up some of the famous homemade hot sauce and seasonings. Family pride runs deep at Poche's. This combined with quality ingredients, provides a truly palate-pleasing experience.
