Zydeco Kitchen and Cocktails, an award-winning local restaurant, celebrates 20 years this week. Saturday, September 21st Zydeco Kitchen and Cocktails officially turns 20. Steve and Cheri Helt came to Bend in 2004 to open their dream restaurant, and raise their family. For two decades they have served “casual, upscale American food with a southern flair,” as well as the local Bend community.
Over the years, Zydeco Kitchen and Cocktails has been recognized time and time again in community choice awards including Best Dinner of Central Oregon and Restaurant of the Year by the Source Weekly, Best Parents Night Out by Bend Nest readers, and more. Zydeco was also an episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with celebrity chef, Guy Fieri.
“It is such an honor to work alongside our amazing team and serve our superb customers, friends and family, throughout these 20 years, so many wonderful people have become part of our Zydeco family. We are so grateful to our community who has supported us for 20 years, and always looking to give back however we can,” said Co-Owner Cheri Helt.
“Zydeco is more than a restaurant. Our staff and our customers are close friends and family. People share their biggest moments in life with us from engagements, anniversary, graduations and birthday celebrations to growing families,” said Co-Owner Steve Helt
