Fremin’s Restaurant
402 West 3rd Street | Thibodaux, LA 70301
985-449-0333 | http://www.fremins.net
Fremin's Restaurant is located in historic downtown Thibodaux and is housed in one of Thibodaux's cornerstone landmarks, formally known as "The Roth Drugstore." Mr. E. N. Roth, Sr. built the original three-story building in 1878. As you enjoy the wonderful ambiance of Fremin's Restaurant, you may sit and daydream of the generations of doctors, war heroes, farmers, politicians, and famous aristocrats who gathered here to make their living through bartering. Visualize looking through the beveled glass storefront to witness the changes in day-to-day history of Main Street Thibodauxville. Imagine the horse drawn carriages to the first automobiles that traveled on the dirt roads through Main Street as you socialize with the melting pot of the community. In 1998, the Fremin brothers of Thibodaux purchased the building with the commitment to restore it to its original decor. Every effort was made to bring the building back to the grandeur of the 19th century. From fresh baked bread and flavored butters to an array of signature dishes of pasta, salads, seafood, and steaks, the marriage of Creole style and Italian cooking come together in perfect harmony. Their team of culinary experts, headed by Executive Chef Kevin Templet, create extravagant meals of exquisite renditions of many past favorites. Fremin's Restaurant also features an extensive drink menu. Bartenders, like chemists from the drugstore era, feature special concoctions that will have you believing the drugstore still exists by, "aiding what ails you."
