Mulate's Cajun Restaurant is a
cornerstone of Cajun Country's
proudest traditions ... our music, food
and love of good times. We serve fresh
seafood prepared according to our own
original recipes. Live Cajun music is
here seven nights a week and Saturday
and Sunday for lunch. You can't help
but have a good time.
Mulate's is an authentic Cajun
Restaurant and Dancehall. Many of
the cypress beams supporting the
building were hauled in from the
nearby swamp in Henderson. The
floors have supported five generations
of Cajun dancers. You're as likely to
hear french spoken as English.
Children are more than welcome and
are likely to be seen bouncing around
the dancefloor ... this too is part of our
Cajun tradition.
London Ballet even learned a Cajun
two-step here!

CHRONOLOGY OF THE IMPORTANT EVENTS
IN THE ACADIANS IDSTORY
Stuffed Mushrooms
1604. Looking for freedom to live as they please, French settlers
begin moving into an area of eastern Canada. There they find fertile
fields and abundant fish and wildlife. It is a heaven on earth so they
call it Arcadia, or "Acadie." During the ensuing century, the colony
grows and prospers and the population continues to increase.
Fried Mushroom.s
1713. The golden age of the Acadians comes to an end when the
English take control of their settlements after a war with France. The
Acadians strike a deal with their new rulers. They agree to remain
neutral in any future conflicts between the English and French. In
return, they asked to be left alone to live in peace and isolation.

1765. Acadian leader Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil arrives in
New Orleans with a band of about 200 Acadians. Beausoleil realizes
that city life is not for his people so he heads west to start a New
Acadia on land near what is now Breaux Bridge. Over the next
several decades, thousands of other exiles would follow his lead to
southwest Louisiana. Living in isolation from the rest of the country,
these Acadians - or Cajuns as they came to be called - build a
wonderful new culture, much of which still survives today.
Cocodrie frites
184 7. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow publishes the epic poem
Evangeline, the story of two star-crossed Acadian lovers who are
divided by the exile never to be reunited. For over a century,
Americans view the Acadian culture through the prism of this
literary classic.
1901. The modern era begins in Southwest Louisiana as oil is
discovered near Jennings. Cajuns are isolated no longer as outsiders
begin pouring into the area to work the oil fields. The culture of the
region will never be the same as it begins absorbing American
influences.
1921. The new state Constitution requires all children to attend
school, a positive step forward for the state. But a fallout from the
new requirement is that schools begin mandating that only English
be spoken in classrooms and on playgrounds. Cajun children, many
of whom speak no English, are spanked for uttering the words of
their native tongue on the school playgrounds.
1928. The authorities may try to silence the children's native
tongue, but they cannot stop the Cajuns from playing their
distinctive music. The Breaux family recordsJolie Blonde, which will
eventually be called the Cajun national anthem. In the 1940's, Harry
Choates records a hit version of the song which chronicles the sad
departure of a pretty blonde woman (jolie blonde) from the one who
loves her.
1968. English repression and American intolerance fail to destroy
the Acadian culture and language. The Council for the Development
of French in Louisiana (CODOFIL) is created by the Legislature
ushering in a Cajun Renaissance in South Louisiana. Teachers from
France and other Francophone countries begin arriving in the state
to teach the language to school children.
1974. The first Tribute to Cajun Music draws thousands of fans to
Lafayette's Blackham Coliseum. The annual event, now incorporated
into Festivals Acadiens, spotlights traditional bands that have labored
in obscurity and provides exposure for up-and-coming groups.
1980. Mulate's Restaurant is opened in Breaux Bridge, dedicated to
the preservation of the traditional food, music and dancing of the
Cajun people.

1755. A power-hungry English governor disrupts the pact with the
Acadians. He orders them to swear allegiance to the crown of
England. The Acadian people refuse his demand and reaffirm their
desire to remain as neutrals. The governor retaliates against the
Acadians, confiscating their lands and ordering them into exile.
Some return to Europe, others move to French-speaking parts of
Canada and still others seek haven in the English colonies to the
south.
1785. The second great Acadian migration begins from France.
Most of the newly arrived settlers take up residence along Bayou
Lafourche.
