Judy's Best of Lafayette
 

Here's what I like best about Lafayette:

(1) Good Restaurants!
Lafayette is becoming a
restaurant "destination" town!
My favorites in Lafayette: Yankee Pier, Metro Lafayette,
Artisan Bistro, Chow's, Pizza Antica, Postino, Le Boulange!

(2) Diablo Foods, my favorite grocery store ANYWHERE!
(WONDERFUL meat department with awesome butchers to cater to
just what you need. Top quality fish, meat and poultry.)
Whole Food's just opened in May, now two great choices!
(3) Lafayette Reservoir plus several other parks, hundreds of miles of hiking trails
(4) Lafayette downtown area with many shops and restaurants
(5) Beautiful setting, rolling hills
(6) Lafayette Park Hotel
(7) Small community feeling
(8)Top local schools
(9) Convenient to freeway
