"Good eggs benedict, on toast instead of muffin. I like that they offer donating a side to Manna Cafe. Took awhile for our food but our server was great!" says Amy on Google

Mayfel's | Asheville, NC ★★★★★ Good eggs benedict, on toast instead of muffin. I like that they offer donating a side to Manna Cafe. Took awhile for our food but our server was great!

Mayfel's secret to a great dish is in the ROUX, although a simple mixture of melted butter and flour, the time cooking it and the heat supplied are the secret to a nutty rich dimension to soups and stews.

Don't bother trying this at home, just come by Mayfel's and be our guest.

Hope to see you soon and often at Mayfel's

With our powers combined we are the Holy Trinity!

In Cajun cooking, the Holy Trinity is not a religious concept, but rather a culinary cornerstone that forms the flavorful foundation of countless dishes. This sacred trio consists of onions, bell peppers, and celery, meticulously diced and sautéed to aromatic perfection

Together, these three ingredients form the backbone of many beloved Cajun classics, such as gumbo, jambalaya, étouffée, and countless others.

The Holy Trinity isn’t just a trio of vegetables - it’s a sacred symbol of flavor, heritage, and the soulful spirit of Louisiana cuisine.

Another successful Weekend at Mayfel’s! Schools are finishing up, the weather is beautiful and it feels like summer is officially here. We want to extend a HUGE thank you to all our incredible guest who joined us.

Sip, savor, and let the weekend vibes flow! Cheers to lazy mornings and unforgettable memories! 🥂✨

The Story of Étouffée 🔍 Dive into the rich history of this beloved Cajun dish! Étouffée, meaning 'smothered' in French, traces its roots back to Louisiana's vibrant Creole culture. Born from the fusion of French, African, and Native American influences, it's a culinary marvel that has stood the test of time. Traditionally made with shellfish like crawfish or shrimp, simmered in a flavorful roux-based sauce, it's a true taste of the Bayou. Join us on a journey through history as we celebrate the legacy and flavors of Étouffée! 🦐🍛
